The headline from The Associated Press today was loud and clear:

White House closer to partial shutdown with wall demand

The left-leaning news organization then went on to paint a bleak picture for President Trump's efforts to fund and build a wall along America's southern border. According to AP:

Pushing the government to the brink of a partial shutdown, the White House is insisting that Congress provide $5 billion to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border despite lawmaker resistance from both parties. Without a resolution, parts of the federal government will shut down at midnight Friday.

But the President isn't backing down. This morning, he tweeted: "Anytime you hear a Democrat saying that you can have good Border Security without a Wall, write them off as just another politician following the party line. Time for us to save billions of dollars a year and have, at the same time, far greater safety and control!"

Yesterday, a senior adviser at the White House said the Trump administration would "do whatever is necessary to build the border wall to stop this ongoing crisis of illegal immigration" — even shutting down the government. But also yesterday, on NBC's "Meet the Press," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) insisted, "(The President) is not going to get the wall in any form."

+ + Fund The Wall Or Shut Down The Government?

There's no denying that the fight to fund the wall is escalating and could lead to a government shutdown at midnight Friday. But Democrats and Never-Trump "Republicans" are counting on our Commander-in-Chief to cave and give up on his demand for $5 billion to fund the wall. They know the mainstream media will blame Mr. Trump for sending thousands of federal workers home without pay just three days before Christmas.

But since when has this president cared what the media, Hollywood, Democrats or Never-Trumpers think? More importantly, what do YOU think?

Illegal immigration is an ongoing threat to America's sovereignty, security and economy. If you're one of the millions of pro-Trump Americans calling on the President to keep this key campaign promise and help stop the constant flood of illegal aliens into our nation, you can take action.

The United States can't afford to adopt an "open-borders" policy, which many Leftists want in hopes of adding millions more Democrat voters. The flood of illegal immigrants who instantly receive amnesty or a fast-track to citizenship would likely need taxpayer-funded assistance to survive. The cost of programs like food stamps, health care and public education would skyrocket to unsustainable levels.

But "We the People" CAN do something to push back against this latest attempt to fundamentally transform America. Illegal immigration threatens our nation's safety, our sovereignty and our economy. Patriots across the U.S. need to make their voices heard and tell President Trump and Congress to protect our borders and stop the invasion.
