2018 WATCH: Trump Likely to Pardon Racist, Potential Shutdown Over Border Wall, GOP Use DREAMers as Bargaining Chip

Shutting down the government  in order to stick American taxpayers with the bill for a border wall that few people actually want is both morally bankrupt and politically stupid. Yet, that’s exactly what President Trump suggested yesterday during his unhinged campaign rally in Arizona. Further cementing bigotry into policy, Trump indicated that he is likely to pardon Joe Arpaio, a racist criminal. All of this happened the same day that McClatchy reported on the Trump Administration using DREAMers as a “bargain chip” to force funding for the wall.

With an increasingly diverse House battlefield, vulnerable House Republicans will be held accountable at the ballot box for their complicity in President Trump’s agenda. Trump’s unhinged rally, using DREAMers as “bargaining chips,” willingness to shut the government to fund a border wall, and the likely pardon of Joe Arpaio demands a response Members of Congress, including Jeff Denham (CA-10), David Valadao (CA-21), Steve Knight (CA-25), Darrell Issa (CA-49), Mike Coffman (CO-06),  Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-25), Carlos Curbelo (FL-26), John Culberson (TX-07), Will Hurd (TX-23), Pete Sessions (TX-32), and Martha McSally (AZ-02).

“The Republican Party’s increasing bigotry and cruelty towards immigrant communities is not going unnoticed by Latino voters,” said Javier Gamboa of the DCCC. “Last night’s unhinged speech strengthened the case against House Republicans in the midterms.”
