Democrats Threaten Government Shutdown To Stop Trump’s Border Wall

Senate Democrats warned Monday in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that they will block any spending bill that includes funding for President Donald Trump’s border wall, even if that means a government shutdown will follow.

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other top Democrats said they will insist that bills will allow Planned Parenthood to received government funding and warned against including any “poison pills” that could be hidden in the budget plan.

“We believe it would be inappropriate to insist on the inclusion of (wall) funding in a must-pass appropriations bill that is needed for the Republican majority in control of the Congress to avert a government shutdown so early in President Trump’s administration,” said the letter.
