SAN DIEGO (KUSI)- For the first time since his reelection, Congressman Duncan Hunter is opening up about Government dysfunction and another possible government shutdown.

“The Democrats are in control now. If the government shuts down again, it’s a Democrat shutdown”, says Congressman Hunter.

One week after the Federal Government re-opened for business, there’s a feeling of helplessness among the people stuck in the middle.

During a lunch with Border Patrol Agents on Friday, Congressman Hunter listened to those who ‘actually’ know what’s happening on the border, as opposed to those who pretend in Washington.

“I’m blaming everyone, from Democrats to Republicans to the President”, says Chris Harris, a retired Border Patrol Agent.

“They all need to put on their big boy pants, sit down at a table and act like adults”, says Harris.

With Democrats flatly rejecting “any money” for a wall, and the President demanding $5.7-Billion, it could lead to another shut down or some fancy footwork by the President.

“He can declare a national emergency and build the wall using the military. That’s what the military does. They build walls and fences and roads all over the world”, says Congressman Hunter.

I wondered if that’s actually ‘legal’? “That is legal”, says the Congressman.

Yeah, President tweeted the military would build the wall, before the shutdown. The shutdown was pointless, gained nothing, a suicide mission going nowhere for nothing. Put all those federal workers and contractors in a bind like that at Christmastime for nothing. The only mistake of his Presidency that I know about. But what a whopper. At least we're past all that now and moving on.
