President Trump on Tuesday said he supports shutting down the government to ensure changes to immigration law, regardless of political consequences.
"I don’t care what the political ramifications are, our immigration laws and border security have been a complete and total disaster for decades, and there is no way that the Democrats will allow it to be fixed without a Government Shutdown," Trump tweeted.
"A Government Shutdown is a very small price to pay for a safe and Prosperous America!" he added.
Trump has in each of the last three days expressed a commitment to shutting down the government when the fiscal year ends in September if he does not receive funding for his border wall, as well as changes to legal immigration programs.
A shutdown so close to the November midterms could prove disastrous for Republicans, who control both chambers of Congress and are attempting to hold off a Democratic effort to retake control of the House and Senate.

I agree with a shutdown. Until those checks from Mexico start arriving, NO WALL.

Keep playing them President Trump. Make them look like the fools they are.
It is simple and easy. Put a wall up and stop those from entering illegal in this country and the money not paid out to those illegal's will pay for a wall or anything else this great county needs. When I say simple and easy, that means just that. Why are we paying our hard earned money for anyone that doesn't contribute. That goes for deadbeat American's also. Take responsibility people.
The wall will not work moron. Bring yourself into today's world
Hey 201, elaborate why not.
Because we are surrounded by water and they already use tunnels to get access to the US...
Of course he doesnt care, it wont affect him any. Just like all his other bad decisions, the rich are immune to the laws of the common man. Dont believe me look what Manafort was able to get away with.
Why is this idiot in charge again? Oh yeah because you illiterates are suckers for repetitive adjectives and chants
