WASHINGTON As the partial government shutdown approaches a record length, President Donald Trump will visit the nation's southern border on Thursday to promote his wall plan, officials said Monday.
Trump "will travel to the Southern border on Thursday to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders posted on Twitter. "More details will be announced soon."
Trump, who first floated the idea of traveling to the border during a surprise visit to Iraq the day after Christmas, has been pressing lawmakers for $5.6 billion for the border wall. Funding for the wall is at the center of a partial government shutdown that entered its 17th day on Monday.
Trump traveled to San Diego in May to view prototypes of his proposed wall. Congress has approved additional money for border security in the past but has specifically prohibited any of it from being spent on new wall designs.
Democrats have said Trump and aides are exaggerating the numbers of migrants entering the country illegally to justify his stance on the wall.
"Trump shut down the government over a manufactured crisis at the border," the Democratic National Committee said in a statement.

(5,477 posts)A fly/drive along much of the border, showing how rough the terrain actually is in many places. I can't begin to imagine the cost of transporting and installing his monument to gross stupidity in these areas. Also, first they would have to build some type of road system that would even get them access to the more remote and inhospitable areas...
