"the fact is: on the very first day of this congress, house democrats passed senate republican legislation to re- open government and fund smart, effective border security solutions. but the president is rejecting these bipartisan bills which would re-open government - over his obsession with forcing american taxpayers to waste billions of dollars on an expensive and ineffective wall - a wall he always promised mexico would pay for."sen chuck schumer:"the president of the united states - having failed to get mexico to pay for his ineffective, unnecessary border wall, and unable to convince the congress or the american people to foot the bill - has shut down the government. american democracy doesn't work that way. we don't govern by temper tantrum. no president should pound the table and demand he gets his way or else the government shuts down, hurting millions of americans who are treated as leverage."
