January 21, Washington. President Trump has reacted harshly to House Democrats' refusal of his proposed compromise. In exchange for their "go-ahead" to finance the Mexican Border Wall project, he offered to extend the support of the young illegal refugees under the migration policy program. And also to prolong the status of temporarily protected persons. However, I ran into misunderstanding of the members of the Senate.
- Democrats rejected my offer. They don't see the problem in crime and drugs. Only the 2020 presidential re-election looms before their eyes, Trump said.
In response, Nancy Pelosi, the head of the House of Representatives, called on Trump to "open up" the government, allow employees to get paid, and then discuss how to protect the border.
The issue of the safety of the US population was key during the election campaign of Donald Trump. And the construction of a steel fence on the border with Mexico was one of the main points of his election program. He promised to prevent the growth of crime, cut off drug trafficking and the flow of illegal refugees from Mexico.
Meanwhile, the construction of a steel barrier requires about $ 6 billion, but the Democrats are against their allocation. In response to their actions, the President of the United States does not sign the budget to the government of the country. Its work has been frozen for 30 days.
