Some of the strongest pushback came from the two Democrats whose congressional districts represent the roughly 370 miles of 蜜聊直播-Mexico border.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 鈥榗ompromise鈥� is the same old recycled rhetoric, lies, and backtracking that we鈥檝e come to expect from Donald Trump,鈥� Rep. Raul Grijalva said. 鈥淥nce again, he used his presidential pulpit to falsely characterize the borderlands as dens of crime and horror while refusing to acknowledge the role his policies have played in creating the humanitarian crisis we see at the border today.鈥�

Grijalva, whose district spans from Nogales to the California border, said the man known for the 鈥淎rt of the Deal鈥� failed to live up to his reputation with his address Saturday, offering a 鈥渉alf-baked solution鈥� to Congress.

鈥淭hroughout his entire presidency, Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his inability to negotiate in good faith. Time and time again, he鈥檚 used dreamers, TPS (Temporary Protected Status) recipients, and families seeking asylum as pawns in a sick game to get his ridiculous wall for his shrinking base,鈥� Grijalva said.

鈥淭alk about reforming our immigration system rings hollow when congressional Republicans 鈥� long before Trump entered office 鈥� repeatedly killed attempts at comprehensive immigration reform.鈥�

The Tucson Democrat said Republicans need to acknowledge that they have long fought proposed fixes to border security, noting the GOP opposed the 鈥淕ang of Eight鈥� immigration proposal back when it emerged in 2013.

鈥淩epublicans cannot wash their hands on the issue,鈥� Grijalva said.

The House is ready to seriously discuss hiring more customs agents, modernizing the ports of entry and a path forward for dreamers and TPS recipients, but Trump must end the shutdown first, he said.

鈥淒emocrats are ready to work across the aisle on these issues, but only when President Trump reopens the government and stops holding government funding, federal workers and dreamers hostage for his vanity wall,鈥� he added.

Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick said Trump鈥檚 proposal shows that Republicans like Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell do not understand how the federal shutdown is hurting the economy.

鈥淢itch McConnell and President Trump don鈥檛 realize the harm of the shutdown,鈥� Kirkpatrick said.

A proposal to give temporary status to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients isn鈥檛 enough, she said.

鈥淲e鈥檝e got to have permanent protection,鈥� she said.

The Tucson Democrat says if the shutdown continues, federal workers might leave, taking jobs in the private sector.

鈥淓mployees are going to quit their jobs,鈥� Kirkpatrick said.

Rep. Tom O鈥橦alleran, whose district spans from the northernmost part of Tucson to the Utah border, said discussions on how to secure the border could proceed only when the federal government shutdown is over.

鈥淲e have an obligation to protect our borders, and we can do it by investing in our Border Patrol agents and smart 21st-century security technology. We must also address our broken immigration system and give dreamers stability,鈥� O鈥橦alleran said. 鈥淥nce we reopen the federal government and get hundreds of thousands of employees back to their paying jobs, we can begin those negotiations.鈥�

Representatives for 蜜聊直播 Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Martha McSally did not respond to requests from the 蜜聊直播 Daily Star for comment Saturday.
