Dear @WhiteHouse,

Reality check:

The House passed bipartisan legislation last week to reopen government and give money to border security.

Also, how come you have only spent 60% of the funds we previously gave you for #BorderSecurity?

Please stop lying to the American people.
The White House

@WhiteHouse

Reality check:

The President offered to work with Democrats in good faith to reopen the Government and secure our border.

The President put forward a common-sense solution developed by law enforcement professionals at @DHSgov.

The Democrats have offered nothing.
