President Trump is threatening to shut down the government if Congress doesn’t allocate $25 billion for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. He tweeted Sunday, “I would be willing to 'shut down' government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!” Congress has until September 30 to agree on a spending bill to avoid a federal government shutdown.
