After two years of effort, Congressional Republicans still refuse to give Trump funding for his fabled Mexican border wall, with only four weeks left before a Democratic majority is seated in the House. - reuters.com Trump has said he will shut-down the US government on December 7 when budget funding needs to be renewed unless the Budget Bill contains full funding for his mighty wall, which Republicans call a waste of money unlikely to provide any improvements over the current border fence system.

Sen. Mitch McConnell has said "with the federal budget in deficit," following a major tax cut for America's wealthiest, "this is no time for major infrastructure spending on a border wall."
