Chuck Schumer: ‘Democrats Support Real Border Security, Not a Wall’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “President Trump, you own the shutdown. You said so in your own words. And President Trump may get his wish, unfortunately. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Democrats have offered two alternatives, and Republicans, Leader McConnell, has offered one. Democrats have offered to pass the six bipartisan appropriation bills plus a one-year continuing resolution for homeland security. We have also offered a one-year continuing resolution for all the remaining bills. Republicans have offered to pass a short-term continuing resolution through early February. Each one of those proposals would pass the House, pass the Senate. Each one of those proposals contains $1.3 billion of real border security, not a wall. There is no wall in those proposals. Democrats support real border security, not a wall. And by the way, that is in addition, in addition to the $1.3 billion in border security Congress allocated last year, the vast majority of which the Trump administration has not yet spent.”
