Trump blames Dems for DHS shutdown, insists they seek amnesty to end it

President Donald Trump on Wednesday blamed Democrats for the ongoing shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security and the ensuing chaos at airports stemming from the lack of TSA funding.

"Blame the Democrats for the Airport’s mess. They want our Country to do badly. They want our Country to fail," he said. "They broke the already signed Bill because they want to take care of Criminals who enter our Country illegally, rather than American citizens. Thank you to our great ICE Patriots for helping. It makes a big difference. I may call up the National Guard for more help."

In a follow up post, he insisted that the Democrats were seeking amnesty to secure the votes of foreigners.

"The Democrats don’t want to make any deal unless Amnesty and Citizenship is given to millions of Criminals who have entered our Country illegally, many of whom have been convicted of serious crimes. PROTECT AMERICA!" he added.

Trump has already sent ICE agents to the airports to aid TSA.
