About a dozen border security activists held a press conference in the San Ysidro Port of Entry Friday urging elected officials to avoid a government shutdown by approving $5 billion for a border wall.
“I have a very simple message,” said Ben Bergquam, one of the organizers. “Build the wall or shut it down. It’s time that we protect American citizens.”
“President Trump should understand there are not the votes for the wall in the House or the Senate. He is not going to get the wall in any form”, Democrat Chuck Schumer.
The press conference featured four “Angel Mothers,” women whose children have either been murdered by unauthorized immigrants or died in accidents involving people who were in the country illegally.
The mothers, who drove to San Diego from as far as Colorado, said a border wall would prevent more people from illegally entering the United States and therefore protect American citizens from being potentially harmed by unauthorized immigrants.
“If we do not do something now, how much further is this going to go,” said Katheryn Hall, 50, from Colorado Springs. “My daughter was 18. She had dreams, she had a life.”
Hall’s daughter, Hailey Hall, died after a hit-and-run vehicle collision in 2016. The driver who struck Hall’s daughter was in the country illegally.
The group decided to hold a press conference this week after seeing President Donald Trump argue about the border wall with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi.
During the argument, Trump said he’d shoulder the blame for a government shut down if Congress did not approve the $5 billion for the border wall.
Friday morning’s press conference had a sharp partisan tone as organizers blamed Democrats for illegal immigration. Several Angel Mothers said Democratic politicians ignore their concerns and Bergquam called Democrats domestic enemies of the American people.

Because shutting down the government is the only way Trump can get things done his way; he's a bully.

Is it weird that every time that Obama had to go it alone - because in reality a lot of his policies couldn't even get Democratic support, he was a hero overcoming racism and when
President Trump does it he is a bully?
No not really - with the education system and the media that we have it is to be expected, really.
