Donald Trump: ‘Let’s Have a Shutdown’ If Congress Can’t Close Immigration Loopholes

President Donald Trump threatened a government shutdown if Congress did not act quickly to close immigration loopholes allowing MS-13 gang members to cross the border.

“Frankly, I’ll go a step further, if we don’t change the legislation, if we don’t get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come into our country … if we don’t change it let’s have a shutdown, we’ll do a shutdown,” Trump said. “It’s worth it for our country.”

The president hosted a law enforcement roundtable on the threat posed by MS-13 gang members with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and other officials from the Department of Justice.

“I’d love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of,” Trump continued.

Several members of Congress also attended — Reps. Lee Zeldin of New York, Martha McSally of Arizona, Michael McCaul of Texas, and Barbara Comstock of Virginia.

The point of the shut down is to protect the little man from monsters. Democrats have campaigned on boarder protection, country of laws and NOT allowing illegals aliens walking the streets getting money from our states and government over legal citizens. In the past 8 months democrats now have disagreed on the core beliefs of their own party. Democrats are ok with a illegal alien gang members not being deported Even though ms-13 murder kids and women. Fyi for a woman to join the gang they get "sexed in" by multiple men.

Best thing that can happen is this rotten evil corrupt government close its doors. Even if for just a day or two. It can only do harm.
