The White House on Friday released the border briefing President Trump tried to get Democratic leaders to see during a meeting earlier this week, saying the public should see the information behind the president’s case for why he wants a border wall.

The briefing, which was to be given by Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, details increases in drug seizures, arrests of criminals and the surge of illegal immigrant children and families who the administration says are overwhelming agents.

But attendees said Democrats’ top leaders interrupted Ms. Nielsen and wouldn’t let her give the briefing.

“Some of those present did not want to hear the presentation at the time, and so I have instead decided to make the presentation available to all members of Congress,” Mr. Trump said in a letter to lawmakers Friday, with the briefing slides attached.

“In crafting a Homeland Security bill, it is essential that we make decisions based upon the facts on the ground — not ideology and rhetoric — and that we listen to the law enforcement personnel on the front lines,” he wrote.

Mr. Trump sent the government into a partial shutdown after announcing he would not sign any more spending bills unless they include money for his border wall plans.

President Trump needs to give a State of the Union address and make the public aware of what is going on...this needs to be broadcast on ALL major networks; CNN, ABC, MSNBC, CBS, FOX, etc.

The public SHOULD fear what is going on at our borders and made to realize that this isn't a GOP/DEM issue, but an American issue and our sovereignty is at stake.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Trump needs to provide numbers- numbers of OTM. How many from Asia, Africa, the Mideast have been caught at the border? How many criminals- what crimes have they committed? How many sneaking back in after being deported? How many drug traffickers? How many human traffickers.

Give the American people the hard cruel facts, Trump.

Hard data, not anecdotes.
