Trump Threatens Government Shutdown over Funding for $25 Billion Border Wall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump is threatening to shut down the government if Congress
doesn't allocate $25 billion for the border wall. He tweeted Sunday "I
would be willing to 'shut down' government if the Democrats do not give
us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid
of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration
based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!" Congress
has until September 30th to agree on a spending bill to avoid a federal
government shutdown.
