President Donald Trump took to Twitter to discuss his upcoming meeting with Minority Leaders Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) about securing funding for the southern border wall.
Over the past few months, border wall funding has come to be a top issue in the United States as a caravan carrying several thousand migrants left Honduras in order to pursue entry into the United States.
As the caravan drew near, President Donald Trump announced he would be shutting down portions of the border and deploying thousands of American soldiers to provide assistance to the border patrol agents.
President Trump has stated in the past that, had the wall already been built, it would have been far easier and cheaper to manage the caravan.
We would save Billions of Dollars if the Democrats would give us the votes to build the Wall. Either way, people will NOT be allowed into our Country illegally! We will close the entire Southern Border if necessary. Also, STOP THE DRUGS!

Before the year is up, Congress must agree on a funding plan for the remaining appropriations bills, including border security funding. This means that Trump must strike a deal that 60 senators must agree to vote for.
