Politico: Senate votes to end shutdown

Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell announce a deal to re-open the government after a three-day standoff.

In a dramatic turnaround, Senate Democrats voted to re-open the government on Monday after receiving a commitment from Republicans to hold a vote on immigration legislation — paving the way to end the three-day shutdown.

The Senate voted 81-18 to move forward on a bill to fund the government through Feb. 8 after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) agreed to end the shutdown and continue to negotiate on immigration and spending matters. Without a broader deal, the Senate would take up legislation to protect hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants who are losing legal protections, as long as the government remains open.

WNU Editor: The U.S. Senate Democrats got nothing to end this shut-down. So why the shutdown in the first place? I mentioned it yesterday .... but it made no sense to me for the Democrats to close down the government and punish American citizens so that they can cater to certain progressive groups who want immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally to be given citizenship status. My guess is that many Democrats realized yesterday and this morning that the support they had expected for this stand did not materialize .... in fact opposition was growing .... hence the cave-in this afternoon. For the progressives who cheered this stand on Friday and this weekend .... and now this .... they must be pissed.
