特朗普总统认为在边境建墙能阻拦非法移民，要求国会先提供建墙所需200亿美元中的50亿美元。特朗普总统2016年竞选时提出的建造边境围墙想法得到很多人的支持。参议院民主党人说，他们不会投票为美墨边境建墙拨款，特朗普说，他不会签署不为边境建墙拨款的开支法案。
Our great country must have border security. We don't want people coming in that aren't supposed to be here. We want people to come in through a legal process.
It's very dangerous out there. Drugs are pouring in. Human trafficking. So many different problems, including gangs like MS-13. We don't want them in the United States. We don't want them in our country.
The only thing that's going to stop that is great border security, with a wall, or a slat fence, or whatever you want to call it. But we need a great barrier, and if we don't have it it's never going to work.
Last night the House of Representatives passed this very important bill 217 to 185. Some people were surprised by the number. I wasn't, because everybody wants to see our border protected.
Now it's up to the Senate, and it's really up to the Democrats, because we need their votes. There's no way it can pass without their votes.
We're going to have a shutdown. There's nothing we can do about that, because we need the Democrats to give us their votes. Call it a Democrat shut down. Call it whatever you want, but we need their help to get this approved.
So Democrats, we have a wonderful list of things that we need to keep our country safe. Let's get out, let's work together. Let's be bipartisan, and let's get it done. The shutdown hopefully will not last long. Thank you very much.
