Border Wall: Dreamer Immigrants and Government Shutdown

border wall: Trump said he was very disappointed in the package, in part because it did not fully pay for his planned border wall with Mexico and did not extend protection from deportation to some 700,000 Dreamer immigrants due to lose coverage under a program the president himself has moved to eliminate, according to CTV. But Trump praised the bill's provisions to increase military spending and said he had no choice but to fund our military. The episode further eroded the already damaged credibility of both the president and a White House staff that had assured the nation he was onboard. My highest duty is to keep America safe, he said. With Congress already on recess, and a government shutdown looming, he said that young immigrants now protected in the U.S. under Barack Obama's Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals program have been totally abandoned by the Democrats not even mentioned in Bill and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defence, is not fully funded. The bill signing came a few hours after Trump created his latest round of last-minute drama by tweeting that he was considering a veto. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
