Dem Rep. Jason Crow Spills REAL Reason Schumer's Shutdown Continues (THIS Is Why TSA Lines Are Insane)

Doug P. | 6:10 PM on March 25, 2026

As we told you earlier, most Senate Democrats have rejected a GOP compromise on funding for Homeland Security, including the TSA. It's looking like every time the Republicans make an offer, the Dems will just move the goalpost:

Dems are saying no to something they had already offered and agreed to in the first place. Chuck Schumer is a joke, and his party is playing a dangerous game. Call your Senator! https://t.co/a0d01ZFj4H

Dem Sen. Chris Murphy then said he would be on CNN to "answer a simple question," which means that he's planning on telling more lies:

I’m going to be on @TheLeadCNN in a few minutes to answer a simple question: why are Republicans holding TSA and our airports hostage to get more funding for ICE? Let’s open our airports!
— Chris Murphy 🟧 (@ChrisMurphyCT) March 25, 2026

ICE is already funded but dishonest Democrats like Murphy try to turn "Republicans won't agree to our demands to get rid of funding certain parts of ICE" into "the GOP insists on more funding for ICE."

"Lyin' Chuck" is still living up to his Trump nickname:

Today, for the TENTH TIME, Democrats will go to the floor to demand that we pay TSA immediately.

And for the TENTH TIME, Republicans will have a chance to join us. I’m not holding my breath.

Of course he's leaving out some stuff.

Schumer has already given up the Left's game on this, but over in the House, Rep. Jason Crow made it clear that this is all about the Dems trying to end all deportations:

Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) live on @FoxNews w/ @WillCainShow explaining why he opposes the DHS deal the GOP is offering (fund all DHS except ICE ERO).

“It would still keep mechanisms in place that would allow them to deport people,” Crow said.

“That’s their job!” Will replied.

This is happening as Democrats are vigorously opposing the SAVE America Act. Call us crazy but we can't help but think that the Dems trying to end deportations and stop legislation that would ensure only U.S. citizens can vote in federal elections are connected.

They literally do not want anyone deported. Period

American citizens are nowhere near the top of the Dems' list of top priorities (they might not even be on their list at all). Americans at airports are definitely not on that list.

Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left's lies, new legislation wasn't needed to secure our border, just a new president. Now the Dems are trying to compromise national security in the name of their #1 priority: Illegal aliens.
