Trump to GOP: Change Senate Rules to Fund a Stronger Border

A vacationing President Donald Trump on Monday pressed his case against Democrats — and for border security — on Twitter, lamenting calls for an end to ICE and inadequate security funding.

Trump has said he’ll force a government shutdown if he isn’t satisfied with Congress’ action on immigration enforcement, border security and funding for his campaign promise to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He hasn’t, however, indicated whether he’s willing to veto legislation aside from Homeland Security, or if he would turn down a continuing resolution to keep funding at current levels for all or part of the government, Politico noted.
