Trump Will Shut Down Government Over Border Wall Funding

President Donald Trump threatened to shut down the federal government in September if Democratic lawmakers continue their obstruction and “do not give us the votes for Border Security [and] … the Wall” along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“I would be willing to ‘shut down’ government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!” Trump tweeted Sunday.

Trump said in March, “... I say to Congress, I will never sign another bill like this again.”

With the federal fiscal year ending September 30, the president warned that he would accept nothing less than wall funding and the other three tough immigration reforms he has repeatedly asked Congress to enact.

I thought Mexico was supposed to pay for the wall. That was what was promised.

If they deport all the illegals from Mexico back to their home, Mexico would be paying for the wall. No more free stuff for them, and that includes prisoners.

I bet they still want my tax money while they shut down. Other than taxing me I wouldnt notice they shut down.

1121 - they will, we just won't send any funds to them to support XXXX initiatives from the past. That's where the shell game comes into play.

Instead of paying them to say support the war on drugs (insert laughter) like we have ad nauseam, that money will now go towards building the wall!

Prez will not shut the gov't down. Juice isn't worth the squeeze - especially with mid-terms coming. Dem's are hanging themselves and don't need a distraction (closing gov't) to provide any aid in their destruction!

Hey dopey, you sat "shell game" yet that is exactly what you just described. Saying you are going to stop sending someone money then claiming that money is equivalent to them paying is bs.
