We are now in the 33rd day of a Southern border fight-induced federal government shutdown. With Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi as recalcitrant as ever in their open-borders zealotry, it is unclear when this standoff might ever end.
Construction of a wall along the Southern border was, of course, President Trump’s singularly iconic campaign promise. The man who famously descended that Trump Tower escalator in June 2015 made the illegal immigration issue the unambiguous centerpiece of his presidential campaign. And within the context of Trump’s campaigning on the illegal immigration issue, nothing was more identifiably and palpably #MAGA than Trump’s promise to build a wall along the Southern border and (somehow) make Mexico pay for it.
