<p>On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced its willingness to back off of its demands for full funding for a border wall in the newest continuing resolution to fund the government. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News, &#8220;we have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion that we&#8217;ll work with Congress.&#8221; She explained, &#8220;At the end of the day, we don&#8217;t want to shut down the government. We want to shut down the border.&#8221;</p>
<p>This marks a serious shift from the escalating tenor of President Trump&#8217;s statements on the issue. On Friday, he said that he would own a shutdown over the border; he has consistently insisted that Democrats provide him the funding he has requested. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was set to propose a bill today that would include both $1.6 billion in border funding and another $1 billion for a border security &#8220;slush fund&#8221; that could not be used toward a wall, but Democrats have already said that they will oppose such a deal. Democrats continue to preach that a wall would be immoral in some unspecified way. &#8220;It&#8217;s the wrong thing to do,&#8221; incoming Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) stated. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t work. It&#8217;s not effective. It&#8217;s the wrong thing to do and it&#8217;s a waste of money.&#8221;</p>
