President Trump is speaking now. He is announcing a deal to reopen the government for three weeks. The government will be fully open. He expresses a desire to get democrats on board with any border security actions. He said he could do something else but wants democrats and republicans to come together.
He is repeating same talking points, focusing on illegal aliens and their humanitarian needs and dangers to them along with talk of drugs, crime, need for wall or steel barrier to protect the country.
President Trump says highest priority is security of nation.
Government will again shut down on February 15 or use powers.
Senator Lindsey Graham says yesterday the president said we must have border wall funding. He said he would give over one million illegal aliens an extension (amnesty) to stay for three years and TPS individuals.
Senator Graham said democrats voted for 40 billion dollars for border security in 2013.
Per Fox News, talks of comprehensive immigration reform going on for a long time and Jared Kushner trying to work something out. May be a big deal coming.
Rush Limbaugh says that Jared Kushner has been actively pushing comprehensive immigration reform. He said you can do it Mr. President. We have been trying to do it for years. You can do it.
