The House vote to fund the government whose funds run out later today, came as the Trump administration sent out confusing mixed messages about its commitment to build a wall on the nation’s southern border and about the constitutionally dubious Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program that Trump said in September he planned to end.

My Take - What happens when the government shuts down? Do Social Security benefits end? Does Welfare end? Does the military shut down? No!
