We are now WELL into the new year… and the government is STILL shut down.
So, what’s it going to be? Are the Dems going to realize we MUST secure our border? Is Trump going to cave?
Or is this shutdown going to last FOREVER?!
Lindsey Graham certainly doesn’t think it’ll be Trump who folds.
According to the Washington Times:
Sen. Lindsey Graham said that after speaking with President Trump this weekend, it’s clear Mr. Trump is holding firm in his demands for border wall money as part of a deal to end a partial government shutdown.
“It was pretty clear to me that we’re never going to have a deal unless we get a wall as part of it,” Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican, said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
We’re NEVER going to have a deal… UNLESS a wall is part of it.
Mr. Graham said Republicans are stuck negotiating with people who want to “abolish” Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and who accuse anyone who supports a wall as being racist.
“As long as the radical left is in charge, we’re never going to get anywhere,” he said.
He also had something to say about Nancy – who said she’d be willing to give Trump A DOLLAR for the wall.
Government workers going without pay are “being held hostage by people who say you need one dollar to secure the border,” he said.
“I do want to open up the government, but the goal is not to open up the government — the goal is to fix a broken immigration system, to bring reality to this table that ICE is not the problem — it’s the solution,” he said.
Amen. It might sting now, but what is being fought for is SO MUCH BIGGER than this. It NEEDS to be done.
