France - Terrorism - Strasbourg : Trump uses terror attack in France to push U.S. border wall even though no terrorists have ever entered US via US-Mexico Border
President Trump on Wednesday seemed to suggest the deadly shooting at
a Christmas market in Strasbourg, France, is evidence that the United
States needs stronger border security.
“Another very bad terror attack in France,” Trump tweeted. “We are going to strengthen our borders even more. Chuck and Nancy must give us the votes to get additional Border Security!”
Witnesses said the gunman, identified by police as 29-year-old Cherif Chekatt, yelled out “Allahu Akbar” as he opened fire, killing at least two people and wounding seven others. Police believe Chekatt, a Strasbourg native, may have become radicalized while in jail.
Trump’s tweet came a day after he clashed with Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi over funding for border security measures — including the president’s long-promised wall along the U.S. southern border — during a contentious Oval Office meeting.
The president said he is willing to shut down the government if Democrats don’t appropriate funding for his proposal to provide $5 billion for a wall along the Mexico border next year.
At one point during their exchange, the president suggested — without evidence — that “10 terrorists” were recently apprehended trying to enter the United States.
Records show this another of Trump's many untruths - because records show no terrorists have come through the US Southern border.

Mexico-US Relations: border wall: Oregon governor: I'll say no if Trump asks me to deploy National Guard troops to Mexico border - by Rebecca Savransky
Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) said she would reject a request from
President Trump to dispatch National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico
border.
"If @realDonaldTrump asks me to deploy Oregon Guard troops to the Mexico border, I'll say no," Brown tweeted.
"As Commander of Oregon's Guard, I'm deeply troubled by Trump's plan to militarize our border."
She added: "There's been no outreach by the President or federal officials, and I have no intention of allowing Oregon's guard troops to be used to distract from his troubles in Washington."

USA: Trump threatens to veto omnibus bill because it does not address DACA recipients, fully fund border wall
President Trump said he might veto the sweeping $1.3 trillion
spending bill passed early Friday — a move that likely would lead to a
government shutdown — because it does nothing to address the fate of
young undocumented immigrants and does not fully fund his border wall.
In a Friday morning tweet, Trump said that those protected from deportation by the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program have been “totally abandoned” by Congress, and he blamed the Democrats.
On Thursday afternoon, senior Trump administration officials told reporters that Trump intended to sign the spending bill, making no mention of the president’s concern. Several aides were trying to convince the president Friday not to follow through with his threat.
Note EU-Digest: As expected Donald Trump backed down and signed the bill as he understood that he was going to get the full blame by his own party and the Democrats, for shutting down the Government if he did. Signing the bill will, however, have the result that it will increase the already super high national deficit to disastrous and uncontrollable figures. You don't need to be an Einstein to understand that.
