The Democrats, with some media assistance of course, continue to try and deny that the federal government shutdown that we're now a few hours into is because Chuck Schumer and other Dem leadership is demanding funding for health care benefits for the people they care most about: Illegal aliens.

Meanwhile, the Schumer shutdown went into effect at midnight.

The DNC chair is attempting to blame Republicans, hoping nobody knows any other details about what's really going on:

Trump adviser Stephen Miller spotted a first in this while also sharing a New York Times poll that the Democrats won't like:

The Democrat numbers on immigration issues are terrible but they just can't quit on their most cherished demographic. 

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda and domestic insanity, including the Schumer shutdown.
