Senate Dems and RINO hacks are digging in their heels. They want to give DACA recipients and family members [chain migration] citizenship without funding for the border wall.
“If we don’t change the legislation, if we don’t get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come into our country and continue to kill–gang members…
“If we don’t change it let’s see a shutdown. We’ll do a shutdown. And it’s worth it for our country. I’d love to have a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of,” President Trump said.

On Tuesday the President tweeted about illegal immigration and our need for stronger border security and brought up Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson who was killed by an illegal alien drunk driver on Sunday.
So disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed @Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson. This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!
