I think this was a bad move by Democrats. Shutting government down hurts Americans.

Give me a break with the "Democrats" thing.

Who was it that chose to hold the issue of CHIP, a widely bipartisan issue that would have easily been approved with an overwhelming majority of votes from both parties, as hostage to pay for the ridiculous wall that Trump promised Mexico will pay for?
That TV star shouldn't have made that ridiculous lie a major campaign promise in the first place. Let alone hold humanitarian bills that both parties majorly agree on as hostage for it.

The Republicans have the majority and don't need a single democratic vote on this, but even some Republicans can't get behind this inhumane hostage tactics, which is why they can't pass this.

Besides, the government doesn't appear to be shutting down as they seem to have cut a deal: https://news.vice.com/en_us/article/vby8j9/senate-democrats-cave-on-daca-and-vote-to-reopen-the-government

Dude, President Trump campaigned on ending Daca. So yes democrats is at fault for shutting down the government for demanding a Daca deal.

As they could not get a deal they filibuster the bill to keep the government open (they got over 50 votes a majority in the senate but not 60 required to override the filibuster).  So you just simply wrong not blaming the shutdown on the democrats. 

Why you talking about CHIP, the wall and mexico are just irrelevent in this discussion.
