Okay folks let's make this clear:

Under federal law, hospitals must care for anyone in an emergency. This includes illegal immigrants. (If it really gets your panties in a twist, just think of it as the Christian thing to do.) 

The only provision the Democrats have for illegal immigrants in this whole shutdown brouhaha is for emergency Medicaid so these hospitals can get paid in such situations. 

Makes sense, right?

So when Trump and his ilk rant over and over that this shutdown is because of the Democrats want "billions" for illegal immigrants to have free medical coverage, they are flat out lying.

And while we're at it...

When cities such as Portland, Oregon go to court to stop Trump from sending in the National Guard, this is because they believe that his actions violate the Constitution. 

In such cases, our government works via action and reaction. When the president acts, if questioned, the legality is decided after the fact. 

So the only way We the People can be protected from tyranny (cough, fascism) as our founding fathers intended, is for this wacky thing called "checks and balances," aka the "balance of power." 

This means that when a president does something that is very possibly unconstitutional and he has a congress that rubber-stamps his every move, the only way of stopping it is by going through the courts.

So doing so is not "far-left terrorism" as Trump and his ilk proclaim, it's the Constitution working to protect you against tyranny - just as our founding fathers intended.
