President Trump and First Lady Melania have stayed in Washington, other than going to visit U.S. troops in Iraq and Germany, during the government shutdown.

Meanwhile, House minority leader Nancy Pelosi decided to do something much different.

Mrs. Pelosi was spotted at The Fairmont Orchid resort, a five-star luxury destination in Hawaii, where rooms range from $1,000 to $5,000 per night, according to the Washington Free Beacon.

The resort features an award-winning ‘Spa without walls,’ a Beach club offering ocean and cultural activities, six restaurants, a children’s program (for Pelosi’s grandkids), and a 10,000 square foot oceanfront pool.

President Donald Trump, however, canceled his trip to Mar-A-Lago, his luxury Palm Beach, Fla. resort amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Mr. Trump told reporters on Christmas Eve at the White House that he was “waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal.”

“I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!” he tweeted on Christmas Eve, hours before departing the White House for Andrews Air Force Base, where he boarded Air Force One to visit U.S. troops in Iraq and later Germany.

“This isn’t about the Wall, everybody knows that a Wall will work perfectly (In Israel the Wall works 99.9%). This is only about the Dems not letting Donald Trump & the Republicans have a win. They may have the 10 Senate votes, but we have the issue, Border Security. 2020!” Mr. Trump tweeted on Thursday, referring to the 60-vote threshold that must be reached in the Senate to pass legislation.

Capture

Republicans currently have a 51-vote majority in the Senate, not enough to pass legislation funding the president’s border wall.

Mrs. Pelosi has spent Christmas in Hawaii in years past, according to a 2011 article by Business Insider, which said that Pelosi previously stayed in a $10,000-per-night suite at the Four Seasons resort in Kona.

Here is the text of the bill:

SHOCK VIDEO: MIGRANTS LAND BOAT ON CALIFORNIA BEACH 100 MILES FROM BORDER

Shock Video: Migrants Land Boat On California Beach 100 Miles From Border

Police arrested half the migrants and two suspected human smugglers

By Bob Price

Residents of a California beach community witnessed a surprising incident as a small boat packed with illegal aliens made landfall. The migrants made their way to the beach resort located about 100 miles from the Mexican border in a small panga boat.

Officials with the Laguna Beach Police Department tweeted a video showing the boat making landfall early Thursday morning and 13 illegal aliens running on shore. Police say that U.S. Border Patrol agents responded quickly and took custody of seven of the migrants and two suspected human smugglers who were allegedly waiting to pick up the migrants, the Orange County Register reported.

Laguna Beach Emergency Operations Coordinator Jordan Villwock told the local newspaper, “They (local residents) saw two men running for the cliffs. Officers were on scene in five minutes and immediately detained the two men who had ditched their life vests on the sand.”

A short time later, police found five more men hiding in the bushes and placed them in custody.

U.S. Border Patrol Agent Vincent Pirro told the local newspaper that of the two smugglers, one was a U.S. citizen and the other, an illegal alien on a “non-immigrant visa overstay.”

Officials said the panga boat is designed to carry up to 15 passengers. The video above shows 13 men running away from the boat and Border Patrol agents found 13 life vests, the Register reported. The agents seized the boat and nine gas cans.

Pirro said these types of long journeys are not that uncommon for human smuggling operations. “We see them leave from Ensenada a lot. They go around the Coronado Islands and north. They’ve gone as far as Half Moon Bay,” the agent explained.

The Register reported there have been 433 illegal aliens arrested 433 migrants illegally entering the U.S. via panga boats in the San Diego Sector since November 1, 2017. Pirro explained that the illegal aliens pay the smugglers between $13,000 and $17,000 for the boat ride to the U.S. Pirro said that makes it unlikely that the passengers were connected to the migrant caravan.

At least four of the men arrested were Mexican nationals and three others were Chinese, Pirro told the newspaper. The seven migrants face federal charges for immigration violations. The two men found waiting to pick up the migrants will be charged with human smuggling.
