As Twitchy reported, Sen. Chuck Schumer reportedly took funding for a border wall off of the table Sunday during the government shutdown, pretty much ensuring there’ll be another shutdown.
Will there be universal support for DACA recipients the next time around, seeing as it’s the hill the Democrats apparently want to die on? Well, DREAMers made their case Monday by blocking one of the entrances to Disneyland.

Immigrant rights activists right now are blocking #Disneyland entrance on S. Harbor in OC, blocking buses from entering the park. Civil disobedience underway. Protestors want to pressure Congress to pass a clean Dream Act. They chant “No dream. No deal.” pic.twitter.com/lsDZSksuhJ

Where’s the story of the middle American families that saved for years to take a once in a lifetime vacation to @Disney that was blocked-by illegal aliens from achieving it. https://t.co/UOxGmk5FQa

Dems shutting down the happiest place on Earth is definitely a winning strategy https://t.co/eoGKaRewi3

I thought Dreamers were supposed to be the best and brightest.
Turns out, maybe not so much. This was a remarkably stupid way to garner support. https://t.co/zPdFVsMPjF

Not a winning strategy. Makes people like me, who would like to see a path to citizenship, very uncomfortable with these displays of entitlement & disrespect. https://t.co/q1SSSNYQVO

This is definitely not how you prove that you’re worth citizenship. https://t.co/fidoaGcm6k

On the other side of the country on Tuesday, DREAMers marched to Sen. Chuck Schumer’s apartment — not the happiest place on earth —with their demands.
Protesters in #Brooklyn on Tuesday said @SenSchumer caved to the GOP to end the government shutdown. They decided to take their anger to his doorstep. See more on #NY1atTEN pic.twitter.com/VU1fzIA32m

New Yorkers are fed up, @SenSchumer: if you won’t let #Dreamers dream, they won’t let you sleep! Clean #DreamActNow! pic.twitter.com/GnlzVYU2rN

If Chuck won’t let us Dream, we won’t let him sleep! Powerful chorus at @SenSchumer’s house demanding a clean #DreamActNow! @UNITEDWEDREAM @MaketheRoadNY pic.twitter.com/lPvR5Vqzn4

I wish these Dreamers would for once prove to us why they deserve legitimacy. https://t.co/irSjKDkyoo

Better time would be spent in the citizenship line. Buffoonery gets you press for 1/2 a day or less and doesn’t change the fact that the majority of Americans, especially those who spent years to become legal citizens, don’t support threats, demands. You’re adults. Act like it https://t.co/5GZhZ68kWd

#RT @GrahamLedger: LOL. Payback is a b-tch, Chuck. Hey Mitch, this is called striking while the iron is hot. Hey Paul, convene Congress. Authorize 20 billion for the wall. President signs it. Appropriate it. Done! Next item … https://t.co/kAnXy3l1pg
