I hope C-SPAN is recording this meeting - from Associated Press:
Shutdown Day 12: Lawmakers to hear wall plea at White House
President Donald Trump said his Homeland Security officials will “make a plea” for the border wall with Mexico during a briefing for congressional leaders Wednesday at the White House as the partial government shutdown over his demand for wall funding entered its 12th day.
The president made his case anew ahead of the afternoon session with Democratic and Republican leaders about the migrants arriving at the border in recent days. He said the border is “like a sieve” and noted the tear gas “flying” overnight to deter them. He called the border “very tough” at keeping immigrants out.
“If they knew they couldn’t come through, they wouldn’t even start,” Trump said at a meeting joined by Cabinet secretaries and top advisers, including Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
We need the security - it is costing us taxpayers way too much to give them a free ride. The Democrats see these invaders as a steady source of votes and as a way to build the welfare system. Get people dependent on it so they do not vote to remove it.
