WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement after meeting with President Trump at the White House.

“I just met with President Trump and his team. It’s clear to both of us that Democrats don’t want to make a deal and will never support border wall/barriers on President Trump’s watch, even though they did so in the past.

“They hate President Trump more than they want to fix problems — even problems they acknowledged to be real and serious in the past.  Democrats will do everything in their power to defeat Trump in 2020.

“Mr. President, declare a national emergency now.  Build a wall now.”
