President Trump will travel to the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday in a bid to highlight border security, as he presses Democrats for wall funding amid the protracted standoff that triggered a partial government shutdown now stretching into its 17th day.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted the president’s travel plans on Monday.
“President @realDonaldTrump will travel to the Southern border on Thursday to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis. More details will be announced soon,” Sanders tweeted.
The president’s visit will come on what will likely be the 20th day of the partial government shutdown. Numerous government agencies first ran out of funding on Dec. 22, as Democrats vowed to block Trump’s requested $5.7 billion to build the border wall and Trump insisted on the money.
Last week, House Democrats proposed a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees construction of the wall, at current levels through Feb. 8, with $1.3 billion for border security—a figure far less than Trump requested. Senate Republicans so far have not taken it up.

Good. I thought it was suppose to happen this past Thursday.
POTUS should address the nation from somewhere on the Border.
Weekly IF necessary.
Do Not Cave.
Now OR Never.
Fight Fight Fight.
“POTUS should address the nation from somewhere on the Border.”
Would be fun with a backdrop of illegals coming over the fence.
Boning up for his State of the Union Address.
Keep up the pressure, keep the focus on border security.
Talking about corrupt crazed media bias, notice how the always refer to the wall as “Trump’s wall”, they never call it what it is, America’s wall.
Listen for it, they always say it, it’s a total blatant lie to make it sound like it’s Trump against everyone else and nobody else wants the wall or needs it or will benefit by it.
“Trump’s Wall” another daily repeated media lie.
That’s a very good, it’s definitely a wall for America.
Yes, bring both Democratic and Republican leadership with him.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
And he will be addressing the nation TOMORROW! So glad he is doing this this is what I suggested days ago, to tell the nation why a wall is SO important to our country
Amen, just saw it and that’s great news.
Hope he does it like an episode of COPS, riding with the Border Patrol and assisting in capturing some drug mules.
