Democrats push back on Trump's immigration offer to end shutdown

Democrats are rejecting President Trump's immigration plan to give temporary protections to DACA recipients and other immigrants in exchange for border wall funds, meaning there's no end in sight for the government shutdown, now in its 31st day. The Center for Public Integrity's Dave Levinthal joins CBSN with more.

There was never a need for a shutdown in the first place ...

If Dems agree, it will tell this president – and future presidents – that the easiest way to succeed is to embrace the politics of extortion. For the remainder of Trump’s term, no matter how long that is, he would know that he can get what he wants simply by demanding a series of non-negotiable ransoms.

STOP! Just stop this nonsense and reopen the government, Mr.President. This is no way to run our country. Please😔

You just have to love how quickly these people are to call Michael Cohen a liar (which he is) but are scared to call trump one....

Make America Great Again Impeach Trump. Please Democrats not one penny for the wall. Trump is a Trader and needs. to go.

My heart goes out to the men and women who work for the government, but we do not negotiate with terrorists. It appears Trump has been working or has been compromised by a foreign agent and never has had the best interests of this country at heart.

Good glad dems are fighting back and not giving in to the bully! And where's the cowardly turtle.

[pcranger]

Trump is the toddler president, may he hold his breath until he turns blue.

[jsmcguireIII]

Trump CREATES the crisis, then offers to do basically nothing to end the crisis. FAIL

[nopo]

Just let fox tell him the wall is no longer needed

[thechosenoneilluminati]

Way to go Mrs P. We need a solid plan, not a bandaid

[susanbodell]

Rudy and Trump made out of the same cloth.

[grayman]

I've never heard one logical explanation that clearly explains why a wall is necessary versus other means of monitoring the Border.

[diogenesofseattle]

Counter offer idea:
5.7b in a trust to begin the wall, only to be released once the needed land is under sales contract. (Including eminent domain offers)
+ path to citizenship for TPS & DACA recipients.

& offer it in public, highlighting the amount of money Trump has conned in building projects that were never completed.

This man is running America like he runs his business: not paying his workers, extortion and etc.

[marylove]

What a joke... Another reality TV show for Trump...

[shaniquamar]

Call or Email your state representatives and tell them we want the government open and until then no deal!!! Then while other Americans are back to being paid to do their jobs our government can do theirs and figure out some kind of solution-but no deal until government open!

[StrumVogel]

$5.7 billion dollars for a 3 year extension is a rip-off.

[johnnyc]

So he offers something he himself took away, in exchange for 7.3B towards his FN wall?... A down payment, btw. WTF is wrong with this guy???

[indiacornellmoore]

President Trump stated he would take full responsibility for closing the government. It wasn't unnecessary. Why hold working government employees responsible for your wall?
