Yes!
President Trump is through messing around on border security. He wants a wall, and by golly, he’s going to get one.
This week, we saw an NFL player needlessly killed by an illegal immigrant who was deported from this country multiple times. The President lashed out over this injustice on Twitter:
So disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed @Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson. This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 6, 2018
It looks like Jackson’s death may have affected Trump more than we all realized. That’s because Trump just proposed shutting down the government if Democrats refuse to work with Republicans to fix our broken immigration security system.
From Politico:
President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for a government shutdown if Congress is unable to pass what he considers adequate border-security measures.
“If we don’t get rid of these loopholes where killers are allowed to come in to our country and continue to kill…if we don’t change it, let’s have a shutdown,” Trump said at a White House roundtable focused on the gang MS-13. “We’ll do a shutdown, and it’s worth it for our country. I’d love to see a shutdown if we don’t get this stuff taken care of.”

President Trump is right. Until we get our immigration system fixed, including getting a wall built along the U.S.-Mexico border, we might as well shut down the government. After all, a country that can’t control its borders is effectively already shut down, isn’t it?

Congress must pass a spending measure by midnight this Thursday to avoid another government shutdown.

SHUT DOWN THE BORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Democrats are deathly afraid of a Government shutdown. They learned from the last one that they lose in a shutdown these days. The people are not with them.
The Democrats demanded a DACA fix to get a budget agreement. Now they are trying to kick DACA down the road. It’s obvious that the Democrats seriously don’t want to fix DACA. If it get fixed, the Democrats can’t use it in the fall to garner votes.
Check the votes of the past. Any member of either house that votes against strict border control needs to have a choice 1. Move to a property within 100 yards of the border in a remote area. BTW, This area will be gun free 2. Work without pay until a secure border is approved, funded, and implemented.
Our military MUST get paid. Congress SHOULD NOT be paid. Let them M.F. know how it feels to not receive their pay checks. F**K these weasel bastards! They don’t deserve to be paid. SHUT IT DOWN! Show these f**ks you mean business TRUMP!
During the shutdown, the military should get paid. congress and the house should not.
Democrats are ready, willing, and able to sacrifice your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness for a vote for themselves… They are the evil among us…
Good! Call their bluff!
And with the shut-down, stop All PAY for Congress (ALL). Then let us see how fast these blood suckers can act/work on a solution that is acceptable to the citizens of the USA……
Go for it President Trump. Shut down and shut down those Dems. Disgraceful.
generally i am against a government shutdown. but we have enough home grown rapist’s, drugies, drunks, thugs, terrorist’s, murders and pedophiles. we dont need any more. but with our border with Mexico as porous as it is we give these people an open invitation to come on in. Trump has tried negotiations with the left on this issue. offering more then they asked for. but because it included funding for the wall the left said no.
the majority of Americans are behind our President on the wall. the left sees it as a road block for future voters. they care nothing about American safety or jobs. so i say shut er down. we must get the wall built.
In all reality, they are just gonna kick this down the road. This is an election year, barely anything gets done. It is all talk and no action. What is gonna be put out pretty soon would be that if they are re-elected, they are gonna work HARD to solve this. This has been going on for how long?
If you are interested in what it costs taxpayers in each state for illegal immigrants take a look at this…

Please pass it on to everyone you know since anyone with half a brain would NOT vote Democrat at the next election. More citizens need to get involved & care about this issue. Write letters to your Congressional members & Trump, start petitions & above all VOTE in the next election instead of complaining & sticking your head in the sand! Sorry but that’s the cold hard truth, Americans are so caught up in their own lives & don’t pay enough attention to what’s going on or do anything about it & that’s how we’ve gotten into this mess.

is it not legally required that the government protect its citizens. if it fails to do so it violates the law ??
U.S. citizens are being protected each and every day that President Trump’s in office. When Barry ‘Takkiya’ Soetoro was in office? Not so much

Illegal immigrants killing, raping & committing crimes on American citizens are a huge problem in this country & the Democrats don’t give a damn. Bet they would if it happened to someone in their family though. I live 45 miles from the Mexican border & witness first hand all the problems caused by illegal immigrants. I can’t wait for Trump to get the wall built & hope through tough vetting & e-verifying a lot less immigrants are allowed into our country. I’m absolutely fed up with this nonsense! American’s deserve protection & safe lives & frankly I don’t understand how anyone could still be a Democrat after all this. They are despicable!
Democrats cannot be relied upon to be rational Representatives. As they will get paid their salary regardless, why would they care if the funding stops for the military and others? The media is the Democrats’ mouthpiece and it will find a way to blame Republicans and President Trump. The majority of Democrats have been so mind-controlled for so many years with big brother safety nets and dependency that focusing on preserving the Union is the last thing on their agenda.

If we don’t control our borders and people just come and go as they please, we might as well not have a country. Then it wouldn’t matter what the government did. A shut down to preserve our country could well be worth it.
Bring it on! Most Federal bureaucrats could use some time off work…. Unfortunately, this may affect the payroll of our military men and women…… the ones that can afford it least. The Democrats know that, and will use it as leverage. I wish President Donald Trump all the best!
