Trump’s last, best chance for wall creates latest shutdown threat
By Niv Elis - 11/26/18 06:00 AM EST

Congress is returning to Washington with a tight deadline to pass seven spending bills and avert a partial government shutdown over President Trump’s demand that lawmakers fund his wall on the Mexican border.

The partial shutdown will take place on Dec. 7 if Congress does not pass legislation, creating the last chance for Trump to win wall funding before Democrats take over the House majority in January.

Trump has threatened to veto a spending bill that does not include funding for the wall. If he follows through, the partial shutdown would hit the Homeland Security, Justice and State departments, among other government entities.

“This would be a very good time to do a shutdown,” Trump told reporters at the White House earlier this month. “I don’t think it’s going to be necessary, because I think the Democrats will come to their senses, and if they don’t come to their senses, we will continue to win elections.”

Many think that Congress will get a bill past the finish line despite Trump’s talk.

They should light up the fence too with a very high jolt of energy.  I hope he is right and they come to their senses.  If he signs it without protection from invasion he will never see 2020 as a President.

I would also commend Trump also on all of the MS-13 who have already been returned to El Salvador.  I know that happened also by Jeff Sessions commitment to his job.

What,if anything,would keep the Dims from removing any "wall money" from the budget and spending it on welfare and Dim votes,instead once they take over?

Dims are only interested in compromise when they are out of power.
