President Trump's efforts to build a wall continue. The Department of Homeland Security is getting bids from lots of companies that want to help build it. Trump administrations asking Congress for a billion dollars to spend on it this year. Now. Senate Democrats want no part of this. They met with Larrazza and promised that they'll make sure it doesn't happen. Chuck Schumer told a Raza, Democrats will do whatever it
takes to stop the wall. Robert Menendez, New Jersey said that Congress shouldn't pay a dime because, after all, Trump claimed he'd make Mexico pay for it. Now, Larazza asked Democrats to do whatever they had to, including shutting down the government when a stop gap spending measure comes up in April. Schumer didn't commit the Democrats to it, but he said he hoped Republicans would not put the wall funding request in the spending measure. Well, it looks like
Schumer's hope is the Republican's command. Senator Roy Blunt, top Republican Senate Committee on Appropriations, just said that they probably won't include Trump's request to fund the wall until next year. So the News Isn't that Chuck Schumer and the Democrats are pressured by Larazza News is that the Republicans are afraid of a Democrat government shutdown because they think they'll get blamed for it, even though the Democrats are responsible for it and they're probably right.
