His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Instead, he first outlined what he says is an urgent need to address a growing number of migrants trying to cross the border and for drugs coming across illegally. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Children are being used as human pawns by ruthless coyotes and gangs. Women are being sexually assaulted. Women and children are the biggest victims of tragedy on southern border,\" Trump claimed.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has tried to establish a link between terrorism and the situation at the southern border, and on Tuesday night said a\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\"barrier is absolutely critical to national security.\" But Trump and his allies have often exaggerated the threat or simply used inaccurate or misleading statistics in order to do so. While there has been a spike in southern border crossings in the past few months — largely children and families fleeing violence in Central America — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/us/politics/fact-check-trump-border-crossings-declining-.html\">overall illegal crossings are lower than in either 2016 or 2014, and far lower than their peak around 2000\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump asked for more funding for \"cutting age technology,\" more border patrol agents (who are currently working but not being paid since the Department of Homeland Security is subject to the partial shutdown) and for more immigration judges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also claimed that \"at the request of Democrats\" any wall would be a steel barrier. However, that has not been a condition of Democrats. Rather, after long pushing for a concrete wall, Trump recently shifted to talking about using steel slats to build a barrier on the southern border, hoping that might convince some Democrats, but it has not.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have remained in staunch opposition to any contingencies on reopening the government, arguing their victories in the midterm elections and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">public polling\u003c/a> have shown the country doesn't want a wall on the southern U.S. border. \u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>In their response following Trump's address, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Trump of trying to \"manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump has said he won't sign any bill to reopen the government, about a quarter of which was shuttered on Dec. 22, unless Congress acquiesces to his request for $5.7 billion to build the wall — Trump's central campaign promise that received raucous applause at his rallies, albeit with the caveat that Mexico would pay for the barrier. Last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675425269/trump-to-meet-with-chuck-and-nancy-expectations-are-low\">Trump said he would be \"proud\" to shut down the government over border security\u003c/a> and would gladly \"take the mantle.\" However, since the partial shutdown became a reality, he has tried to shift the blame to Democrats.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also tried to make the argument that the wall would be paid for, indirectly, by Mexico thanks to a new trade deal he has renegotiated to replace NAFTA. However, that new deal has not been ratified by Congress, and as \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/20/678557749/fact-check-border-wall-funding\">NPR's Tamara Keith has reported\u003c/a>, there's no guarantee the economic gains could pay for the wall, and the White House has not explained its math to back up that claim. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/OenMJ_eMw_E\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House press secretary Sarah Sanders also claimed last week that Customs and Border Protection picked up almost 4,000 suspected terrorists along the southern border, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/fact-check-did-u-s-catch-4-000-terrorists-southern-n954796\">NBC News\u003c/a> found those stops have largely been made at airports. During the first half of fiscal year 2018, CBP stopped just six immigrants at ports of entry on the southern border who were on a federal terrorist watch list, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/only-six-immigrants-terrorism-database-stopped-cbp-southern-border-first-n955861\">NBC also found\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Instead, he first outlined what he says is an urgent need to address a growing number of migrants trying to cross the border and for drugs coming across illegally. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Children are being used as human pawns by ruthless coyotes and gangs. Women are being sexually assaulted. Women and children are the biggest victims of tragedy on southern border,\" Trump claimed.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration has tried to establish a link between terrorism and the situation at the southern border, and on Tuesday night said a\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\"barrier is absolutely critical to national security.\" But Trump and his allies have often exaggerated the threat or simply used inaccurate or misleading statistics in order to do so. While there has been a spike in southern border crossings in the past few months — largely children and families fleeing violence in Central America — \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/20/us/politics/fact-check-trump-border-crossings-declining-.html\">overall illegal crossings are lower than in either 2016 or 2014, and far lower than their peak around 2000\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump asked for more funding for \"cutting age technology,\" more border patrol agents (who are currently working but not being paid since the Department of Homeland Security is subject to the partial shutdown) and for more immigration judges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president also claimed that \"at the request of Democrats\" any wall would be a steel barrier. However, that has not been a condition of Democrats. Rather, after long pushing for a concrete wall, Trump recently shifted to talking about using steel slats to build a barrier on the southern border, hoping that might convince some Democrats, but it has not.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have remained in staunch opposition to any contingencies on reopening the government, arguing their victories in the midterm elections and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">public polling\u003c/a> have shown the country doesn't want a wall on the southern U.S. border. \u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>In their response following Trump's address, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Trump of trying to \"manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.\"\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Trump has said he won't sign any bill to reopen the government, about a quarter of which was shuttered on Dec. 22, unless Congress acquiesces to his request for $5.7 billion to build the wall — Trump's central campaign promise that received raucous applause at his rallies, albeit with the caveat that Mexico would pay for the barrier. Last month, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675425269/trump-to-meet-with-chuck-and-nancy-expectations-are-low\">Trump said he would be \"proud\" to shut down the government over border security\u003c/a> and would gladly \"take the mantle.\" However, since the partial shutdown became a reality, he has tried to shift the blame to Democrats.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also tried to make the argument that the wall would be paid for, indirectly, by Mexico thanks to a new trade deal he has renegotiated to replace NAFTA. However, that new deal has not been ratified by Congress, and as \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/20/678557749/fact-check-border-wall-funding\">NPR's Tamara Keith has reported\u003c/a>, there's no guarantee the economic gains could pay for the wall, and the White House has not explained its math to back up that claim. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/OenMJ_eMw_E'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/OenMJ_eMw_E'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>White House press secretary Sarah Sanders also claimed last week that Customs and Border Protection picked up almost 4,000 suspected terrorists along the southern border, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/fact-check-did-u-s-catch-4-000-terrorists-southern-n954796\">NBC News\u003c/a> found those stops have largely been made at airports.

What are a president's emergency powers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are dozens of laws that give the president special powers to act in an emergency.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 5:31 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House is planning a media blitz as President Trump pushes for a wall along the southern border, which congressional Democrats have repeatedly rebuffed. This week's events involving the president come as a partial shutdown of the federal government drags into its third week with no apparent end in sight to the impasse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump tweeted he will \"Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border\" on Tuesday night. It will be his first Oval Office address as president. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1082319456246923267\">also announced\u003c/a> that Trump will travel to the border on Thursday \"to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1082347305699889157\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wall on the southern border with Mexico was Trump's hallmark campaign promise, and he's under pressure from his base and conservative commentators to deliver. But, unable to obtain the funding he desired for it under a GOP-controlled Congress for the past two years, Trump last month said he would not sign any spending measure that did not contain sufficient funding for construction of the wall. As a result of the standoff, about a quarter of the government shut down on Dec. 22. In 2019, the president's now hitting even more resistance from the newly-installed Democratic House after a bruising midterm election cycle where Democrats won 40 House seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it's an argument Trump and his allies have struggled to make since before they took office, but now they'll try to use his bully pulpit to move public opinion. \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll last month\u003c/a> found Americans — By a 21-point margin of 57 percent to 36 percent — wanted Trump to compromise on the wall instead of shutting down the government. Over two-thirds also said a wall shouldn't be an immediate priority for Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weekend talks to resolve the shutdown stalemate between Vice President Pence and congressional staffers produced no breakthrough. Although Trump characterized the talks as \"\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1082032550112047104\">productive\u003c/a>,\" Democrats said there was no progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pence told reporters at the White House on Monday that Trump was \"considering\" declaring a national emergency — the option is being \"looked at and examined\" — which could allow him to begin construction of the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the weekend, the White House did formalize its request for $5.7 billion to fund Trump's border wall — a number Pence said Monday Trump will not retreat from. In a letter to lawmakers, the administration said that sum would pay for 234 miles of new barrier — at a cost of roughly $24 million per mile. The material used would now be steel, not concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716115/locals-pick-up-the-slack-and-the-trash-as-government-shutdown-continues\">Locals Pick Up the Slack (and the Trash) as Government Shutdown Continues\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716115/locals-pick-up-the-slack-and-the-trash-as-government-shutdown-continues\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34624_10773544416_IMG_0235-qut-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The administration is also seeking hundreds of millions of dollars for additional Border Patrol agents, immigration judges, detention beds, drug detection equipment and to address what it calls \"urgent humanitarian needs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pence argued that this approach represented a compromise on the White House's part, to go beyond just a wall and fund things Democrats want too. And he pushed back on criticism this was just a way to appeal to Trump's \"base.\u003cstrong>\" \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This isn't about [the] base. This is about the American people. This is about human trafficking, this is about a humanitarian crisis, this is about the flow of illegal drugs, illegal immigrants and the president's determination to address that issue with action and with resources,\" Pence said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Congressional Democrats are resisting the president's demand for wall funding. In an exercise in political messaging, the House is expected to begin voting Tuesday on a series of bills to reopen shuttered government agencies without additional money for a border barrier. Although a handful of Republican senators from swing states have expressed a desire to end the partial shutdown, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is adamant that the Senate will not vote on funding bills that don't have support from the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Senate Democrats say they will block even bringing up the start of legislative business this week. According to a senior Democratic aide, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has notified the caucus he will vote against proceeding to the first bill of the session because Senate Republicans should instead be bringing up the Democratic-led House-passed bills to reopen the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday is a scheduled payday for federal workers. If the impasse is not resolved by then, some 800,000 federal employees will miss being paid for the first time during the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the standoff continues into the weekend, it will be the longest shutdown in recent history. It also has the potential to impact February food stamp benefits provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Upcoming tax refund checks might have been disrupted too, but the White House said Monday the IRS would issue refunds during the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional correspondent Scott Detrow and NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

This week's events involving the president come as a partial shutdown of the federal government drags into its third week with no apparent end in sight to the impasse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump tweeted he will \"Address the Nation on the Humanitarian and National Security crisis on our Southern Border\" on Tuesday night. It will be his first Oval Office address as president. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1082319456246923267\">also announced\u003c/a> that Trump will travel to the border on Thursday \"to meet with those on the frontlines of the national security and humanitarian crisis.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But, unable to obtain the funding he desired for it under a GOP-controlled Congress for the past two years, Trump last month said he would not sign any spending measure that did not contain sufficient funding for construction of the wall. As a result of the standoff, about a quarter of the government shut down on Dec. 22. In 2019, the president's now hitting even more resistance from the newly-installed Democratic House after a bruising midterm election cycle where Democrats won 40 House seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Over two-thirds also said a wall shouldn't be an immediate priority for Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weekend talks to resolve the shutdown stalemate between Vice President Pence and congressional staffers produced no breakthrough. Although Trump characterized the talks as \"\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1082032550112047104\">productive\u003c/a>,\" Democrats said there was no progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pence told reporters at the White House on Monday that Trump was \"considering\" declaring a national emergency — the option is being \"looked at and examined\" — which could allow him to begin construction of the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the weekend, the White House did formalize its request for $5.7 billion to fund Trump's border wall — a number Pence said Monday Trump will not retreat from. In a letter to lawmakers, the administration said that sum would pay for 234 miles of new barrier — at a cost of roughly $24 million per mile. The material used would now be steel, not concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716115/locals-pick-up-the-slack-and-the-trash-as-government-shutdown-continues\">Locals Pick Up the Slack (and the Trash) as Government Shutdown Continues\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11716115/locals-pick-up-the-slack-and-the-trash-as-government-shutdown-continues\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/01/RS34624_10773544416_IMG_0235-qut-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The administration is also seeking hundreds of millions of dollars for additional Border Patrol agents, immigration judges, detention beds, drug detection equipment and to address what it calls \"urgent humanitarian needs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pence argued that this approach represented a compromise on the White House's part, to go beyond just a wall and fund things Democrats want too. And he pushed back on criticism this was just a way to appeal to Trump's \"base.\u003cstrong>\" \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This isn't about [the] base. This is about the American people.

In an exercise in political messaging, the House is expected to begin voting Tuesday on a series of bills to reopen shuttered government agencies without additional money for a border barrier. Although a handful of Republican senators from swing states have expressed a desire to end the partial shutdown, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is adamant that the Senate will not vote on funding bills that don't have support from the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Senate Democrats say they will block even bringing up the start of legislative business this week. According to a senior Democratic aide, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has notified the caucus he will vote against proceeding to the first bill of the session because Senate Republicans should instead be bringing up the Democratic-led House-passed bills to reopen the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday is a scheduled payday for federal workers. If the impasse is not resolved by then, some 800,000 federal employees will miss being paid for the first time during the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the standoff continues into the weekend, it will be the longest shutdown in recent history. It also has the potential to impact February food stamp benefits provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Upcoming tax refund checks might have been disrupted too, but the White House said Monday the IRS would issue refunds during the shutdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional correspondent Scott Detrow and NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Far more money coming to the U.S.,\" he wrote. \"The United States Military will build the Wall!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1075386058282545152\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fact check:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Trump talks about the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement, or USMCA, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/11/30/672150010/usmca-trump-signs-new-trade-agreement-with-mexico-and-canada\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the new trade agreement\u003c/a> is already in place. It isn't. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It still has to be ratified by Congress and the legislatures in Mexico and Canada. So, the president's claim that far more money is coming into the U.S. couldn't possibly be true at this point. But will it be true in the future? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no guarantee that on a net basis this trade agreement will produce more economic benefits for the U.S. than NAFTA did in the past,\" said David Gantz, a law professor at the University of Arizona who focuses on trade agreements. \"We don't know yet, and we won't know for several years.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gantz said when NAFTA was approved, backers oversold the economic benefits to the U.S. And while he argues there are some good improvements and updates in the USMCA, they aren't expected to supercharge economic growth in the U.S. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about possible economic growth as a result of the USMCA bringing in more tax revenue, Monica de Bolle, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said, \"We have no guarantee that that would happen including because the USMCA is first of all not all that different from NAFTA.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the White House press briefing earlier this week, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to explain how the USMCA would pay, even indirectly, for the wall. Here's the exchange: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sanders:\u003c/strong> \"We're talking about additional revenue that wouldn't have existed without the president getting a new deal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Reporter:\u003c/strong> \"Have you done the math on that?

The White House Council of Economic Advisers hasn't studied the expected economic impacts of the new trade deal yet, and neither has the office of the U.S. Trade Representative, which led negotiations. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Trump and Sanders are referring to revenue from tariffs, economist de Bolle points out that wouldn't be coming from Mexico, either. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you are collecting more revenues, it's because you're making your own consumers pay more for something that they were paying less for before,\" she said. \"You're making the Treasury better off at the expense of your own consumers.

It's not.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Claim 2: The military will build the wall\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Trump also claims that \"because of the tremendous dangers at the Border, including large scale criminal and drug inflow, the United States Military will build the Wall!\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This raises two questions: 1. Does the military have the authority to build the wall? 2. Does it have the money to build the wall? \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fact check:\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, in an email to NPR's Tom Bowman, Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Jamie Davis addressed the question of legal authority: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"To date, there is no plan to build sections of the wall. However, Congress has provided options under Title 10 U.S. Code that could permit the Department of Defense to fund border barrier projects, such as in support of counter drug operations or national emergencies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As for the funding, that is a much stickier challenge. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is not going to happen,\" said Todd Harrison, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, who specialized in military budgeting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's why he is making such a bold prediction: \"For the military to build the wall, that would qualify as a military construction project, and there's not any money currently appropriated for this — certainly not $5 billion,\" he said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, let's say the president decided the military should take money already set aside for something else and use it to build the wall instead — that would require approval from Congress. Harrison says all the relevant committees in both chambers would have to approve shifting, or \"reprogramming,\" the funds. There are also caps on just how much money can be moved that way. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If any one of those committees says no, you can't do it,\" Harrison said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He has a hard time imagining those committees signing off. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It would be coming at the expense of other priorities in the military,\" Harrison said. \"Even if they agree with the wall, they would say, 'Hey, don't take our money to pay for it.

That's what it was approved for, and that's what we want it to be used for.' \" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process would be the same if the Trump administration wanted to shift funds to the wall from other agencies as well.

When you include the renovation of existing fences and walls, we’ve renovated a tremendous amount and we’ve done a lot of work. In San Diego, we’re building new walls right now.

Yuma, it dropped illegal traffic 95 to 96 percent.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Leaving aside the semantic difference between a wall and a fence, Trump is correct that fencing in San Diego, for example, significantly reduced “illegal traffic” when originally built decades ago. It also pushed border-crossers east, away from coastal San Diego, to areas where the fencing is less robust. Partly as a result, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/immigration/sd-me-borderwall-update-20170124-story.html\">thousands have perished\u003c/a> trying to trek through deserts and mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other locales Trump mentioned do have many miles of existing fencing that is being replaced or strengthened.

They’re playing games. They’re playing political games. I actually think the politics of what they’re doing is very bad for them, but we’re going to very soon find out. Maybe I’m not right, but usually I’m right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, looking at public opinion, may feel they have some leverage in the talks. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll \u003c/a>out Tuesday shows that 57 percent of Americans, including 63 percent of independents, want the president to compromise on the border wall to prevent gridlock and not risk a government shutdown. Two-thirds of Republicans, however, want the president to stand his ground. And President Trump is often laser focused on his base.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A history of failed meetings with “Chuck and Nancy”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The days of high expectations for White House summits leading to bipartisan breakthroughs were well in the past even before Tuesday’s Oval Office throw down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little more than a year ago, Trump had a couple of meetings with Schumer and Pelosi. He said he’d worked out a deal on immigration with “Chuck and Nancy,” as he called them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think something can happen,” Trump told reporters. “We’ll see what happens. But something will happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing happened. The deal blew up without even an agreement on what the deal was.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Can Trump work with a Democratic House next year?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The sparring between Trump, Pelosi and Schumer may well be a preview of the next two years of divided government. Both Trump and Pelosi, who is expected to once again become speaker when Democrats take control of the House, have talked about the potential for bipartisan compromise on things like infrastructure and prescription drug prices. But they’ve also both foreshadowed conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Democrats are promising robust investigations of Trump and his administration, and Trump has said that would lead to a “warlike posture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then at the end of two years, nothing is done,” Trump predicted. “Now what’s bad for them is being in the majority, I’m just going to blame them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This leaves many questions: Are Democrats willing or able to compromise with Trump? Is Trump willing to deal? If he is, will congressional Republicans go along? And, given the way Trump has changed his mind in the midst of past negotiations, will anyone trust him?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, allies of the president and Pelosi interviewed for this story say some limited compromise is possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s several positions the president has that frankly line up more traditionally with Democrats,” said Marc Short, former director of legislative affairs for the Trump administration. “The question I think that is yet to be determined is whether or not Democrats will give their leadership the flexibility to negotiate with the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one way of pinning blame back on the other party when big things fail to get done. Short also questioned whether Democrats would be willing to give Trump a win as he begins his re-election campaign in earnest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Lawrence, a former chief of staff to Pelosi, countered that Democrats are likely open and looking to cut some deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Pelosi] is going to be, and I think Democrats in the House are going to be, concerned with proving that they can be trusted that they can govern,” Lawrence said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short and Lawrence both see incentives for their respective parties to get something done, while questioning whether those incentives exist for the other side. But first they have to make it to next year. And the budget fight brewing as 2018 closes out could well affect the relationship going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR congressional correspondents Scott Detrow and Kelsey Snell contributed. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Sometimes he leaves out specific dollar amounts (though the standing ask is $5 billion). \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1070879369432850433\">And his use of the phrase “border security”\u003c/a> indicates more than just funding to build the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Arizona, together with our Military and Border Patrol, is bracing for a massive surge at a NON-WALLED area. WE WILL NOT LET THEM THROUGH. Big danger. Nancy and Chuck must approve Boarder Security and the Wall!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1070879369432850433?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 7, 2018\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“Congress must fully fund border security in the year-ending funding bill,” Trump said Friday in a speech at a law enforcement conference. “We have to — we have to get this done. They’re playing games. They’re playing political games. I actually think the politics of what they’re doing is very bad for them, but we’re going to very soon find out. Maybe I’m not right, but usually I’m right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, looking at public opinion, may feel they have some leverage in the talks. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/12/11/675334306/poll-americans-want-trump-to-compromise-on-border-wall-amid-possible-shutdown\">new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll \u003c/a>out Tuesday shows that 57 percent of Americans, including 63 percent of independents, want the president to compromise on the border wall to prevent gridlock and not risk a government shutdown. Two-thirds of Republicans, however, want the president to stand his ground. And President Trump is often laser focused on his base.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>A history of failed meetings with “Chuck and Nancy”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The days of high expectations for White House summits leading to bipartisan breakthroughs were well in the past even before Tuesday’s Oval Office throw down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A little more than a year ago, Trump had a couple of meetings with Schumer and Pelosi. He said he’d worked out a deal on immigration with “Chuck and Nancy,” as he called them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think something can happen,” Trump told reporters. “We’ll see what happens. But something will happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing happened. The deal blew up without even an agreement on what the deal was.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Can Trump work with a Democratic House next year?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The sparring between Trump, Pelosi and Schumer may well be a preview of the next two years of divided government. Both Trump and Pelosi, who is expected to once again become speaker when Democrats take control of the House, have talked about the potential for bipartisan compromise on things like infrastructure and prescription drug prices. But they’ve also both foreshadowed conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi and Democrats are promising robust investigations of Trump and his administration, and Trump has said that would lead to a “warlike posture.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Then at the end of two years, nothing is done,” Trump predicted. “Now what’s bad for them is being in the majority, I’m just going to blame them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This leaves many questions: Are Democrats willing or able to compromise with Trump? Is Trump willing to deal? If he is, will congressional Republicans go along? And, given the way Trump has changed his mind in the midst of past negotiations, will anyone trust him?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, allies of the president and Pelosi interviewed for this story say some limited compromise is possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think there’s several positions the president has that frankly line up more traditionally with Democrats,” said Marc Short, former director of legislative affairs for the Trump administration. “The question I think that is yet to be determined is whether or not Democrats will give their leadership the flexibility to negotiate with the president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one way of pinning blame back on the other party when big things fail to get done. Short also questioned whether Democrats would be willing to give Trump a win as he begins his re-election campaign in earnest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Lawrence, a former chief of staff to Pelosi, countered that Democrats are likely open and looking to cut some deals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[Pelosi] is going to be, and I think Democrats in the House are going to be, concerned with proving that they can be trusted that they can govern,” Lawrence said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Short and Lawrence both see incentives for their respective parties to get something done, while questioning whether those incentives exist for the other side. But first they have to make it to next year. And the budget fight brewing as 2018 closes out could well affect the relationship going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
