The U.S. House of Representatives approved $5.7 billion
for President Donald Trump's proposed border wall on Thursday night after Trump
said that he would not sign a short-term continuing resolution approved by the
Senate because it did not include funding for the wall.
"House approves $5.7 billion for President Trump's
border wall, sending bill back to Senate and raising risk of partial
shutdown," The Associated Press tweeted.
Funding for the border wall passed 217-185 along party
lines and now goes to the Senate for a vote.
"The Democrats, who know Steel Slats (Wall) are
necessary for Border Security, are putting politics over Country," Trump
tweeted on Thursday. "What they are just beginning to realize is that I
will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure, unless it has
perfect Border Security. U.S.A. WINS!"
"With so much talk about the Wall, people are losing
sight of the great job being done on our Southern Border by Border Patrol, ICE
and our great Military. Remember the Caravans?" Trump continued.
"Well, they didn’t get through and none are forming or on their way.
Border is tight. Fake News silent!"
"When I begrudgingly signed the Omnibus Bill, I was
promised the Wall and Border Security by leadership," Trump concluded.
"Would be done by end of year (NOW). It didn’t happen! We foolishly fight
for Border Security for other countries - but not for our beloved U.S.A. Not
good!"
"Republicans in Congress have continually told the
American people that we would fight for wall funding, and today the House of
Representatives took its first step toward fulfilling that promise," The
House Freedom Caucus wrote on Twitter. "The Senate must follow our
lead."
"It’s time we do what we said and work with President
Trump and the American people to secure our borders," The House Freedom
Caucus added.
