Senator Chuck Schumer has threatened to shut down the federal government over a disagreement about immigration reform.
The Democrat New York senior senator has vowed to block a must-pass bill that would effectively stop the government from being able to operate past April 28.
In 2013, Schumer criticised Republicans’ attempt to defund ObamaCare, which resulted in a 16-day shutdown of the federal government. Hee explained on ABC’s “This Week,” “we could do the same thing on immigration reform. We believe strongly in immigration reform. We could say, ‘We’re shutting down the government, we’re not gonna raise the debt ceiling, until you pass immigration reform.’ ”
He added, “it would be government chaos.”
