The shutdown began Saturday when Democratic lawmakers rejected a budget proposal from Trump who is asking for $5 billion for the wall. "We will be forced to close the Southern Border entirely if the Obstructionist Democrats do not give us the money to finish the Wall & also change the ridiculous immigration laws that our Country is saddled with.
