Schumer: There will be shutdown if Trump sticks to his $5 billion demand for the Wall
CNN ^ | 12/11/2018 | Jeremy Diamond

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned Tuesday in front of the White House that there will be a government shutdown if President Donald Trump refuses to budge from his demand for $5 billion of wall funding. He spoke after the tense meeting with President Trump.

The bottom line is simple. The President made clear that he wants a shutdown. His position, if he sticks to his position for a $5 billion wall, he will get no wall and he will get a shutdown. The bottom line is very, very simple. That is, we want border security. We offered him border security. But Americans know that the wall, not paid for by Mexico anymore, is not the way to border security.

Schumer insisted that Democrats "have offered" border security funding and warned of what he and Pelosi have termed a "Trump shutdown."

"This Trump shutdown, this temper tantrum that he seems to throw, will not get him his wall and will hurt a lot of people," Schumer said.

EXACTLY what other plan for Border Security have the Dems offered?

Seems to me they only holler about what Trump wants to do.

Great! Many, many government “workers” don’t do anything productive...many are malignancies on civil society. Close it down...and never pay them thereby not making it yet another paid vacay.

Trump knows how to occupy media and Democrat's minds. If he says, I will shut the government down, they will probably decide that the government can't be shut down, just to spite him! So funny to watch. Nancy & Chucky just got played.

Schmucky Chucky’s idea of “border security” is to make all the illegals secure as they flood into the country.

Yes, I think the DEMs dowant illegals for future votes.

But I also think that the drug lords have put the Dems on their payrolls. The drug lords don’t want a wall. Therefore, neither do Pelosi or Schemer.

IMHO, an “audit” by the FBI (and CIA) of just how Pelosi and Schemer became so rich is past due.

Trump should announce the wall just got 10 feet higher and proceed to have it built.

“Shut it down.

Totally agree. If it weren't for government, talentless, petulant, self-absorbed and destructive pinheads like Schumer and Pelosi would have had a hard time making a living. They've done almost nothing constructive with their lives, and their narcissism and what they are pushing may actually destroy our nation and way of life.

I don’t understand why Trump is requesting “only” $5B.

Why not go for the whole enchilada - $20B...or at least $10B.

Regardless of the amount, the fight will be the same.
