President Trump on Wednesday tried out a new border security slogan as he continues to battle Democrats over funding for the border wall he wants to build.
“BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!” Trump posted to Twitter Wednesday morning. “This is the new theme, for two years until the Wall is finished (under construction now), of the Republican Party. Use it and pray!”

Trump has said the situation at the southern border is a humanitarian crisis, especially due to the amount of drugs, human trafficking, and crime that is brought into the U.S. by undocumented immigrants.
But Democrats have rejected his push for $5.7 billion in new funding to expand the border wall, and the lack of a spending agreement has led to a partial government shutdown that has lasted 33 days.
Trump on Wednesday signaled he was not prepared to give in, and pushed his new slogan again.
BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!
