Opinion| As you’re probably already aware, President Donald Trump gave Congress three weeks to come to an agreement on funding for his coveted border wall between the United States’ southern border and Mexico.
Clearly that isn’t going to happen.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells @jparkABC she will “of course” allow a floor vote on any bipartisan border security proposal crafted by appropriators, but adds, "there's not going to be any wall money in the legislation." https://t.co/jXTO08zNnB pic.twitter.com/k3mWStCUpM

ABC News wrote in a tweet, “Speaker Nancy Pelosi tells @jparkABC she will ‘of course’ allow a floor vote on any bipartisan border security proposal crafted by appropriators, but adds, ‘there’s not going to be any wall money in the legislation.'”
President Trump wasn’t having it, however. He struck back with a brutal response.
"If there's no wall, it doesn't work," says Pres Trump of the DHS funding bill he wants. He said if existing wall was taken down at Tijuana, Nancy Pelosi would be begging for a wall. "Without a wall, it doesn't work," he said of southern border security. pic.twitter.com/5uMIqiGSz7

Walls do work, whether the left wants to admit it, or not.
Trump on California:
“Some people have suggested let me take the wall along California. Let's move it to Arizona. Let's move it to Texas. It'd be a very interesting statement.

The President responded to Nancy Pelosi’s comment that there would be no money for a border wall by saying, “If they don’t give us a wall it doesn’t work. Without a wall, it doesn’t work.”
It’s about time that the Democrats pull themselves together and come up with appropriate funding for the President’s coveted border wall. They have been given ample time, but continue to drag their feet.
