FULL TITLE: Trump says no end to shutdown until border barrier funded, plans January visit to new section of wall
(CNN) - President Donald Trump said Tuesday the government won't reopen until funding is secured for his border barrier, and he plans to go to the border in January to visit a new stretch of wall.
"I can't tell you when the government is going to be open. I can tell you it's not going to be open until we have a wall, a fence, whatever they would like to call it," Trump said in the Oval Office after a Christmas call with US troops. Negotiations between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration over the President's demands for a border wall have so far not yielded an agreement, and the shutdown will continue until at least Thursday, when the Senate returns to Washington. Both sides seem entrenched in their opposing stances and it's possible parts of the government could remain closed until the new Congress is seated in the first week of January, when Democrats will take control of the House. Trump repeated a claim made a day earlier -- without explanation -- that he'd recently approved 115 miles worth of border barrier. The White House hasn't provided any further details about the claim, which Trump first made on Twitter on Christmas Eve. He said he would go to the new stretch of the wall in January. "It's going to be built, hopefully rapidly," he said. "I'm going there at the end of January for the start of construction. That's a big stretch."

Yup. That money will continue to flow in like muffins into Rosie O'Donnell.
Since protection from invasion is one of the primary constitutional mandates of the feds (U.S. Const., art.IV, sec. 4), if they refuse, then their raison d’etre vanishes and they SHOULD shutdown.
“Trump repeated a claim made a day earlier — without explanation — that he’d recently approved 115 miles worth of border barrier. “
Hope its that “new and improved punji stick version!” Sad to say, we need the “optics” of illegals impaled on that sucker.
WE WANT A W A L L! <> A "fence", a "barrier" is not a WALL.
There’s a post here saying the house is putting up a resolution that taxpayer funds cannot be used for the wall and that Mexico must pay for it.
Which will then die in the Senate. Pelosi can put up all the crazy resolutions she likes next year. They won’t get anywhere in the Senate. Thank God for that.

In 2009, we were reported to have more than 580 miles of fencing along the US-Mexico border.

Today, just now, President Trump said he is aiming to have 500-550 miles (on a 1989 mile border) of new or renovated barrier by election day:

That could include zero miles of new fencing/barrier and fewer total miles than we had a decade ago!
Question is: How long will it take - one week, or one month?
If Trump had promised to shut down the EPA, I would have been even more excited to vote for him,!
Amazing and revealing how democrats spend like drunken sailors on everything they can think of EXCEPT and always EXCEPT for our national defense. The one thing above they are supposed to do.
we are winning two ways at once!
1. PDJT is pushing to get ‘the wall’...and
2. Schumer and Pelousy have shut down part of the Swamp
(admittedly only the officially-designated “non-essential” part, but this is still a big step forward!)
keep it up, guys!
MAGA!
IRS; Some people are designated Essential, others Non essential, so not everyone will be working. We will see how many more IRS employees become “Essential” once the filing season kicks into high gear! (Think possible delays in refunds!)
“Yup. That money will continue to flow in like muffins into Rosie O’Donnell.”
According to the Grace Commission it all flows into the pockets of the PRVATE Federal Reserve to service interest on the debt.
Next June.
And the DemonRats are b*tching about $5 BILLION for a wall?
It's NOT the money they don't like, it's the WALL they don't want BECAUSE A WALL IS PERMANENT AND NOT EASY FOR A FUTURE DEMONRAT (GOD FORBID) PRESIDENT TO UNDO!
I sure hope he sticks to the government closure until he gets wall funding. I am so afraid he will cave. I think Schumer and Pelosi should be called out as enemies of the state, wanting us to open ourselves to terrorists, freebie seekers, diseases, paths to chain migration, having non-citizens vote, etc. All kinds of really terrible things, and THEY are trying to use their offices to bring these things about. Hang ‘em, hang ‘em high!
