TRUMP FINALLY DID IT TO SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE BORDER!!
DEMS NEVER SAW THIS COMING
one of the people's favorite emojis thatNthere's the one that goes like this wellVthat's where
we are now with this whole funding battle after the president called
over leaders of Congress Republican side to a meeting at the
White House in which he basically told them that he needed to have something about border
security in the bill or he
certainly wasn't going to sign it the president in a statement from Sarah Sanders saying quote
President Trump just met with Republican members of the
House not surprisingly they all feel strongly about border security stopping the flow of
drugs stopping human trafficking and stopping terrorism we
protect nations all over the world the Democrats are unwilling to protect our nation we urgently
need funding for
border security and that includes a wall when the Speaker of the House his last day is supposed
to be today walked out of the White House it was clear that the president
dug in his heels and said I want something more than what the Senate
gave me last night listen here so what we're gonna do is go back to the house and work
with our members we want to keep the government open but we also
want to see an agreement that protects the border we have very serious concerns about
securing our border so the president said he will not sign this bill
so we're going to go back and work on adding border security to this also keeping the government
open because we do want to see an agreement just for the record
here are the 12 members of Congress on the Republican side who were in the meeting was
the Speaker Paul Ryan Kevin McCarthy the
incoming minority leader Steve Scalise Liz Cheney mo Brooks of Alabama Jim Jordan additionally
mark meadows Paul Mitchell Chris Gibson mark walker Barry ladder Milken and Wagner all
there as well but that the real question now Dana is I'm not
sure what they do because the Senate's left town and if they pass a measure that's got
funding for border
security in it there's nobody from the Senate to take a look at it the president will be
speaking at 2:30 we do know that so we he'll probably have
something to say about this it's also Ninteresting to note too that the president has kind of
stopped talking about a quote wall it is now talking
about a steel slat barrier which maybe Democrats may find more palatable I doubt it but he's
talking about it in
different terms well he's giving them some options on I did have one question for you
which is then why didn't the president say anything
before the Senate voted on the bill that now he doesn't like you know I was
talking to White House officials yesterday afternoon when this idea the CR was floating
around the Senate and I said so are you you're going to eat the CR and sign it and the consensus
seemed
to be yeah the president would you know reluctantly sign it but then the president woke up this
morning clearly was of a different mind than what his
aides told me yesterday so he wants this this funding for border security what he
can't get out of Congress he's going to try to get out of existing appropriation so this
tale has yet to be told in full and like many things around here at the
White House it's going to be a doozy IBwill not surrender this nation to the whims of
criminal organizations who prey on the vulnerable who hurt women and children
and has spread human misery and suffering human trafficking and massive drug inflow
must also be stopped it's at a tremendous level what we're doing and the
incredible job being done by border
security ice Border Patrol local police and the military the military has been incredible
and we're stopping them to process you wouldn't believe how tough
but we're stopping them in record numbers at this moment there is a debate over funding
border security in the wall also called so that I give them a little
bit of an out steel slats we don't use the word wall necessarily but it has to
be something special to do the job steel slots I've made my position very clear any measure
that= funds the government must include border security has to not for political purposes
but for for a country for the safety of our community this is not
merely my campaign promise this is the promise every lawmaker met that is the solemn promise
to protect and defend the
United States of America and it is our sacred obligation we have no choice for decades Washington
abandoned this commitment and millions and millions of people to enter our
country illegally and over the objections of the American people
no one voiced or voted for a policy no one endorsed this policy and no one ratified this
policy it was a total
assault on our democracy itself illegal immigration costs our nation two hundred and seventy five
billion dollars a year you hear many different numbers you can
say billions and billions but the number that I hear most accurate is two hundred and seventy
five billion dollars a year at least millions of jobs and thousands of
innocent lives more than 90% of
heroine comes across our southern border heroin deaths have tripled since 2002 every week
this illegal heroine kills at least 300 Americans and costs our nation
over 230 million to 289 billion dollars for nearly 5 billion dollars a week I spoke with
President Xi of China and he has agreed to make fentanyl another one of
the big big problems and probably I
think it's just gone to number one kills 80,000 people a year in our country he's going to
make that a major crime in China and if you get caught you pay a major penalty it's called
the death penalty and it wasn't listed as a crime until
I spoke to so I appreciate President Xi for doing that that's a
tremendous that's gonna have a tremendous impact every day 10 known or suspected terrorists
try to gain entry into our
country every day 2,000 illegal aliens try to cross our borders they try we get most
of them it's hard without a wall every year 50,000 illegal children are
smuggled by coyotes and criminals into our country in the last two years alone ice officers
arrested criminal aliens charged with or convicted of 100,000
assaults 30,000 sex crimes and 4,000 murders it's rough stuff yet the
Democrats continued to oppose border security no matter how many innocent people get hurt
or die ridiculously and dangerously certain people want open
borders which allow potentially massive crime our nation has spent trillions of dollars
and sacrificed thousands of brave young lives defending the borders
of foreign nations I am asking Congress to defend the border of our nation for tiny fraction
tiny fraction of the cost essential to border security is a
powerful physical barrier walls work whether we like it or not they work better than anything
in Israel 99.9 percent successful think of it I spoke to
Benjamin Netanyahu Prime Minister two
days ago we're talking about it he said it's 99.9 imeem he came up I didn't ask I said
99.9 percent successful we have proposed a steel slat barrier to halt the
deadly flow of these illegal traffickers smugglers and terrorists
every day that we deprive our Border Patrol and ice officers the resources
they need we put many innocent lives in harm's way it should be bipartisan I\ think it will
end up being bipartisan I really do illegal immigration also strains public services
that Americans depend on and illegal immigration drives down wages for the neediest Americans
no one who calls themselves a progressive should support illegal immigration open borders
hurts poor Americans more than anyone else
in our society in life there are certain principles worth fighting for principles that are more
important than politics party or personal convenience the safety and
security and sovereignty of the United States is the most important principle of all if
we don't stand strong for our national borders then we cease
to be a nation and we betray our
commitment to the loyal citizens of our great country I look forward to signing a bill that
fulfills our fundamental duty to the American people it is all about and I say this in any
way they want to hear it it's all about America first
we have to put our country first we have to put our people first and we have to put safety
first so thank you
all very much and we'll be working on that Mitch and Paul and Kevin and everybody and
we'll see what we can do but hopefully that all come together it
some additional perspective now in all these major stories from House Majority Leader Kevin
McCarthy Republican from California mr. leader thanks for joining
us first of all give us just an update
of how you think this gets solved from your point of view well first of all Brett think
about it you've already had 75% of the government funding we're
debating that last 25% this is about national security about border security so the Senate
sent over to us what is a continuing resolution that funds the government
as is with no border security
in there even though we've already been funding and building the wall it also had nothing
in there when it came to disasters remember the Hurricanes in North
Carolina in Florida in Georgia are the devastating fires in California so
what we will do and remember there are two separate bodies here it happens on
every bill we will take a continuing resolution we will add five billion dollars in that for
border security we'll also add the in there for disaster relief for those states
of devastation because they can't wait a lot of those individuals can't go
in plant can't rebuild entire cities are burnt in California and we'll send that over to
the Senate they can take action which we don't have a problem until Friday
tomorrow late I think there's some differences and we can find common
ground it's the way our government is designed to find common ground and come
to a solution right but you do you think you have the votes because you think you have
the votes in the house we will have the votes in the house we will pass it tonight
and we will send it to the Senate now the question is about the
Senate mr. leader yes because you have Chuck Schumer saying we're not doing it you have
senators over in the Senate who lost or they were stepping aside and they
may decide they're not gonna do this so where's your your optimism if you have any about getting
it past the Senate to avoid a partial shutdown well first
of all if I listen to Chuck
Schumer just a week ago he said he would fund the wall at 1.6 1.8 billion dollars is he
now saying he would not do that if I look at his what he voted on just a
few years back 2013 he funded and voted for a wall in that process as well so it's Chuck
Schumer changing his position
from the past and this is the real challenge here the American people have to understand
yes Republicans are in the majority we will pass it in the house
but the rules say you have to have 60 votes in the Senate so it really comes down to this
Chuck Schumer want to shut the government down
