The Hill quoted Rep. Peter King as saying that his Democratic counterparts had put themselves in trouble in the ongoing negotiations to end the partial closure of the government.
King warned that any settlement of the problem with President Donald Trump would upset the Democratic Party's rules.
He said any compromise with President Trump would seem like a capitulation, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made it very difficult to describe the barrier, which Trump wanted to build on the border with Mexico, as "immoral."
"How can you compromise if you label something as immoral?" He asked.

Negotiations and stalemate
King, the Republican representative of the House of Representatives in New York, believes the leadership of the Democratic Party is fearful. "If it had any deal with President Trump, it would be someone who bargained for Satan."
The New York State Republican said both the White House and Democratic lawmakers were currently in trouble in the ongoing negotiations to end the partial closure of government departments, which entered its 30th day on Sunday.
On Saturday, the Democrats rejected a proposal by the president to extend temporary protection from deportation to the DAC, which allows young immigrants who have entered the United States illegally to stay in the country, $ 5.7 billion for the construction of the separation wall.
Nancy Pelosi said Trump's proposal was merely a compilation of many previous initiatives rejected. "Each initiative is unacceptable and does not in its entirety constitute a purely constructive effort to reassure the people."
Peter King urged Democrats and the White House to continue to negotiate, and proposed a meeting on financing the construction of the wall on Mexico's borders and resolving the problem of the Dhaka program.
In his view, the "easier settlement" is the Democrats' agreement to give Trump $ 3 billion to $ 4 billion to build the wall, in return for Republicans agreeing to extend protection to Dreamers, young immigrants who entered the country illegally when they were children.
