President Trump has put the Democrats on the ropes by reminding the American people that they are all that stands in the way of effective border security.
Ahead of a Wednesday meeting with congressional leaders to discuss the partial government shutdown that is dragging on amidst Democrats’ refusal to appropriate funding for a border wall, the President made clear that he will not sacrifice border security for a government funding deal that maintains the broken status quo on immigration enforcement.
To hammer that point home, the meeting included a briefing by Department of Homeland Security officials so they could tell recalcitrant Democrats based on firsthand experience how vital a wall is to our efforts to ensure border security.
