Trump tweets he'd 'shut down' government if Democrats don't fund US-Mexico wall
Trump tweets he'd 'shut down' government if Democrats don't fund US-Mexico wall
By Christopher Carbone | Fox News

DEVELOPING – President Trump said on Sunday that he would be willing to shut down the federal government if the Democrats do not agree to Republican demands about funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Trump wrote on Twitter that border security "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!"
The White House has been embroiled in controversy over the ongoing efforts to reunite families separated at the border who were attempting to enter the United States illegally.
During his most recent weekly address, Trump cited the 9/11 terrorist attacks to justify strong enforcement of immigration laws and the continued necessity of Immigration Customs & Enforcement, the agency which has come under fire from Democrats in recent months.
“One of the critical lessons of 9/11 is that immigration enforcement saves lives,” he said in the address. “We must enforce the rules against visa fraud, illegal overstay, illegal entry and other immigration violations and crimes, and crimes they are. Believe me, crimes they are.”
A new House Homeland Security Appropriations bill would devote $5 billion to a southern border wall, however its passage in the Senate, where it would need the support of ten Democrats, remains a longshot.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who is the majority whip, pointed out to the Washington Examiner that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was once ready to offer $25 billion in border security funding in exchange for a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers.
However, Schumer has since withdrawn that offer, which at the time was rejected by Republicans and President Trump, who wanted additional immigration reforms.
Democratic lawmakers and candidates, including New York City Mayor Bill de Blasion, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon, have called for the abolishment of ICE.

But, I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

Mexico will pay for the wall. How much money do you think we get back from Mexico if we build the wall and stop or significantly reduce illegal immigration over the southern border? Isn't the whole point of the wall to stop or significantly reduce illegal immigration over the southern border? The money we make and save back from Mexico alone not to mention the other countries we'll make money back from that use the southern border to enter our country illegally will pay for the wall in 6 months. That's before we even get to all the money we're going to make off our new trade deal with Mexico.

Yes! When illegal aliens can't come here, get a job and send American cash back to Mexico, America will benefit greatly financially and Mexico will lose a lot of money.
Add to that, a wall will curb drug cartels making money shipping to America. So the wall is needed whether Americans pay for it or Mexicans!
