Sen. Cruz Statement on Sen. Schumer’s Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released the following statement after Democrats made it clear they will force a government shutdown:
 
Sen. Cruz said, “Senator Schumer and the Democrats have made it clear that they intend to shut down the federal government. Their demands include taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal aliens and a reversal of the Republican reforms blocking handouts to able-bodied adults who refuse to work.
