Democrats are doing everything they can to block off any federal funding for President Trump's border wall amid rising tensions over the crisis at the border.

In nearly half of the 12 annual appropriations bills House Democrats have ushered through committee, they have included specific language to block wall-related emergency powers, limit the use of flexible funds and oppose refilling accounts that could be used to build the barrier.

Their efforts come as anger within the Democratic Party is rising over the treatment of migrants detained at the border. Lawmakers who visited the border on Monday described conditions as “inhumane” and “abhorrent.”

The President has the power to shut down all spending.  Its simple.  Don't pick up the pen.  Won't hurt me one bit.  And politicians can all share the blame when people don't get their checks.
