Unless democrats cooperate, I’ll shut down government, Trump threatens

President Donald Trump has urged the Congress to cooperate in effecting the immigration laws, tweeting a demand for Democratic cooperation, warning that otherwise, he will allow the federal government to shut down.

Trump tweeted a threat to push the government into shutdown ahead of the coming appropriations deadline in September if Congress does not fund his border wall and change the nation’s immigration laws.

The American President made a reference to his administration’s proposed merit-based immigration system, which would assign points to potential migrants on factors such as age, education, fluency in English, willingness to invest capital in the US, etc.
