Wall Street Journal: Trump Skeptical border deal can be made- Nik Puri

Just days after the longest government shutdown in American history finally ended, our current president is threatening new problems. It's certainly clear that Donald Trump is committed to building a wall along the Mexican border after reporting that he would build the wall anyway with emergency powers if necessary. He even offered temporary protection for some undocumented immigrants in exchange for $5.7 billion to build the wall, but democrats were quick to reject that deal. The chances of reaching a new deal before the government shuts down again are less than 50%, but what's certain is that Trump is willing to do a tremendous amount in order to get that wall.
