Two House conservatives on Monday warned that the government could shut down if a spending bill does not include money to fund President Trumps wall along the Mexican border.
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, even said he believed that Trump would veto a spending measure that did not include money for the wall.
My conversations with the president have led me to believe that there is nothing less than a full and total commitment on his part to only sign into law a funding bill that actually allows for us to start construction of a border wall on our southern border, Meadows told Breitbart News.
He said there was nothing more critical that has to be funded than funding the border wall.
Earlier on Monday, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) vowed to fight every spending bill that doesnt fund that wall in a new advertisement for his Senate campaign.

(3,290 posts)since their government is the one that is going to have to fund it. Isn't that what our glorious leader promised in no uncertain terms?
Why should we even consider funding it?
