We Need The Wall And Trump Has The Loophole To Get It Built!
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump sought Tuesday to pressure Democratic congressional leaders into supporting his demand for billions of dollars to build his promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, threatening to have the military build it “if Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country.”
Trump tweeted the threat hours before Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi were to meet with Trump at the White House in an effort to avert a partial government shutdown on Dec. 21, when funding for some agencies is scheduled to expire.
In a series of tweets Tuesday, Trump said immigration and border patrol agents and thousands of active-duty service members he sent to the border have done a “FANTASTIC” job. But he said “A Great Wall would be, however, a far easier & less expensive solution.”
Trump said he looked forward to meeting with Schumer and Pelosi, but claimed they don’t want border security for “strictly political reasons.”

“If the Democrats do not give us the votes to secure our Country, the Military will build the remaining sections of the Wall. They know how important it is!” Trump said.
Schumer and Pelosi said Monday that Republicans have the power to keep the government open since they control Congress and the White House.
“Our country cannot afford a Trump Shutdown,” they said in a statement, adding that Trump “knows full well that his wall proposal does not have the votes to pass the House and Senate and should not be an obstacle to a bipartisan agreement.”

The military option is the best choice. Democrats aren’t serious about securing our boarders. They just don’t want this President to succeed on another promise. The American people’s desire to build the wall means nothing to dems. They rule the votes but they don’t listen to the voters. Time for term limits.
Democrats are not concerned with security for the American people. They are only concerned about power and if that means subjecting the American people to rampant crime, disease infestation and drug trafficking, so be it.
It depends a great deal on what We mean by “having the military build the wall”. If by that we mean that we’ll have whole Divisions, Wings, or whatever working on this thing, no, that’d be horrid. Military troops already have far too much to fuss over regarding actually being prepared to fight. If, on the other hand, we mean the Army Corps of Engineers letting contracts to build, well, at least they’d (plausibly) know what they’re doing.
Build the wall even if you have to SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
WE CAN SURVIVE THAT MUCH BETTER THAN AN INVASION.
Get the Army Ccorps of Engineers in there and get started. To heck with the democrats. They are nothing but perverted power hungry pigs.
