President Trump's pursuit of additional border wall funding in his fiscal 2020 budget proposal will only lead to another government shut down, warned Democratic leaders on Sunday.

Trump harmed millions when he "recklessy" shut down the government in pursuit of funds to build an expensive border wall, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., in a joint statement. But Congress refused and the president was "forced to admit defeat" and reopen the government, they added.

"The same thing will repeat itself if he tries this again," they warned. "We hope he learned his lesson."

The Democratic power duo were responding to reports earlier Sunday that the president will seek $8.6 billion in additional funding in his fiscal 2020 budget request to Congress to build barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“At a time when our country faces challenges about jobs for the future, this money would better be spent on rebuilding America, and on education and workforce development for jobs for the 21st Century,” the two Democratic leaders stated.

The Commie left sees those illegals pouring into our country by the MILLIONS and grin with glee knowing every single one of them will vote Democrat, and their children, and their childrens children

They have made it clear that the invasion will go on.
Bush League Republicans will never side with the citizens and the rule of law.
They MUST be replaced.

In 2020, these Senators must be replaced with patriots who side with the citizens and the rule of law:

Gardner, McSally, Daines, Collins, Cornyn, Capito, Enzi, Rounds, Graham, Tillis, Sasse, Hyde-Smith, McConnell.

If we want to keep our country we have to stop electing Amnesty Senators.

IMO, Nanzi and Schmucky have far more problems covering their rears to worry about.

She said "not $1"......

The President got $1.4 Billion....specifically for the wall.

Now tell me who won.

And the $1.4 billion came out of the shutdown.

They have had nothing to do with any of their accusations, they have created nothing but BULL SHI*.

[tennmountainman]

Bring it!
Shut it down.

[MileHi]

Gardner will be replaced, by a democrat. You can wish for whatever you want, but a strict conservative is not on the menu for that seat.

[conservative98]

Exactly!

They say it like its a bad thing. I say. 🐖💨💩

Well, the "wax" part is debatable.

Dear Chuck and Nancy,

We don’t care. Shut it down. Build the wall!

Sincerely,

We The People

....and?

Who cares? Unlike Pelosi, Schumer and their pet poodles on the GOP side, the rest of us don't make our livings sucking at the government's teat, and we expect the government to carry out its first responsibility - securing the borders of this nation. Shut this disgrace of a government down until it finally does what it was created to do.

[NorthMountain]

Shcumer threatening to shut down the government again?

Go ahead, Chucky. Shut it down. See how many ‘Rats get reelected ...

[roadcat]

Shut it down, again and again. It's only non-essential services anyway and the government keeps functioning. Although the functioning part doesn't apply to Congress, with their non-essential "investigations" rather than actual legislation for the people. Non-functioning, non-essential, needs shutting down.

But we need the wall.

Did Nancy and Chuck clear this with AOC and Omar, fitlrst?
