WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Sunday pushed the federal government closer to the brink of a partial shutdown later this week, digging in on its demand for $5 billion to build a border wall as congressional Democrats stood firm against it.

"We will do whatever is necessary to build the border wall to stop this ongoing crisis of immigration," said White House senior adviser Stephen Miller.

Asked if that meant having a government shutdown, he said: "If it comes to it, absolutely."

Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute. Trump's gonna shut down the U.S. government if the U.S. government doesn't pay for the wall? HE SAID MEXICO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THE WALL!!!!!!!!
