Speaker of the House Paul Ryan shared the following remarks to the press:
“The president informed us that he will not sign the bill. We have very serious concerns about securing our border. The president said, ‘I will not sign this bill.’ So we’re going to go back and work on adding border security to this.”
More on the Border Wall
As the fight for the border wall intensifies, Americans are chiming in with their own thoughts…and money. Veteran Brian Kolfage recently started a GoFundMe page to raise funds for President Trump’s border wall. The fundraiser launched four days ago and has already garnered more than six million dollars.
Conservatives and other members of the president’s base have expressed their desire for the border wall. Throughout the 2016 election, ending illegal immigration served as a central theme of Trump’s campaign. Since President Trump’s time in office, immigration has maintained as a hot-button issue, particularly in light of Central American migrants who are seeking asylum.
