The AP accidentally let the fact out of the bag in their initial Twitter headline:
“Senate Democrats appear to have derailed a Republican bill aimed at preventing a federal shutdown.”
Why did Democrats derail the bill aimed at preventing a shutdown? Why do democrats put the interest of illegal aliens ahead of citizens?
Schumer’s Shutdown.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017

Silly talking points. Why did 4 Republicans vote to shut down the govt? trump/Schumer had a deal, that Schumer wasn't crazy about. He offered money for the fantasy wall. trump agreed, but eventually renegged...to nobody's surprise.
4 Republicans voted against this bill. 5 Democrats voted for it
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
I think you got this right, Althea...it IS Trump's shutdown. If the Republicans in congress were not so terrified of him...it wouldn't have happened...but Donald Trump owns this thing, even if some of the Trump sycophants here want to spin what the AP said into something more.
My guess...Trump will do what Trump does best. He will make matters much worse for himself, his fellow Republicans, and our nation in general. Gotta give credit where credit is due...he is an expert at that.

I guess you would have to educate yourself, or at least take an interest in, the history behind DACA.
You either willingly ignore, or simply forgot that the Senate overwhelmingly passed a bi partisan immigration bill that Boehner refused to bring to the floor of the House. It included fines/registration/military duty for illegal immigrants.
Because that was an era of flat out refusal to allow any accomplishments by Obama, the bill sat and rotted in the House.
So Obama created DACA, as a temp. measure until the House got it's act together.
trump has such a bad case of Obama envy, he's on a mission to eradicate him from history. It's easily argued that trump started this by ending DACA, and CHIP

Who is to blame?House,Senate,President, Democrats and Republicans!
I blame them all. Last I checked there were 100 senators and 430 something reps.
The government is closed. They all fail.
Sure. But when you dig down below the surface, you can blame Republicans. They rammed through a horrible tax bill, and argued in bad faith to take healthcare away from millions of people.
Do you really think that Democrats were going to roll over, once legislation required their participation?
Why didn't trump just reinstate DACA? And CHIP funding?

True, and they had a months notice that all they had to do was accept some hard working tax paying kids dragged into the USA by their parents illegally (dreamers) and it was a done deal, but the racists apparently control them.
You'd think considering the tax ramdown for the wealthy and corps they could give a little to keep the whole gov open.
