Trump says U.S. officials to make plea for wall in meeting with lawmakers

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said U.S. homeland security officials will make a plea for a southern border wall in a White House meeting with congressional leaders on Wednesday, adding that he was open to working on a path to legal status for young illegal immigrants known as Dreamers.

Trump invited Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress to the White House for the border security briefing on the 12th day of a partial U.S. government shutdown triggered by his demand for $5 billion in wall funding.

Department of Homeland Security officials will brief the congressional leaders, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said, on the last day that Trump's fellow Republicans will control both chambers of Congress.

The meeting is set for 3 p.m. EDT in the White House Situation Room, generally used for high-level security concerns such as military planning.

Yawn, just another lying drumpf administration traitor to our country and to the world. She will have no facts, just drumpf lies and Dems will not be convinced. Neither will Repugs be convinced, but they don't care. They will vote for this as a vote for their racists and not give a shit that 5 billion dollars is being totally wasted, and that the waste is projected to reach over $30 billion and possibly as high as $70 billion. But they don't give a fuck because their rich funders will make out like bandits ripping us off and that ensures more donations for them and that's the only thing they care about.
