Stephen Miller Tells Dems the Wall Is Non-negotiable

The public shouting match between President Trump and top Democratic leaders last week at the White House was a good indication of how far the government is from reaching a budget deal before Friday's shutdown deadline. It's all about border security. Both Trump and the Democrats insist they want it, but they have much different avenues of getting there. The president says he needs the $5 billion he asked for to build a border wall, but Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi say he doesn't have the votes and it's simply not going to happen. The most they will shell out is $1.6 billion for border fencing upgrades and other security measures. Both sides are now accusing the other of turning their backs on American workers.

"We have a disagreement as to what's the best border security, but don't hold these people hostage," Schumer urged.

The debate is likely to continue behind closed doors, considering Democrats protested about the cameras. 

Before, during, and after his public debate with Pelosi and Schumer, Trump remained steadfast that border security is nonexistent without a physical structure.
