If we do not stand up now to make sure we get more money for the wall, well never get any more next year, the senator argued.

In a Fox News appearance Friday night less than an hour before the shutdown officially began, Graham praised the commander in chiefs commitment to push for $5 billion for the barrier. Anyone who disagreed, he claimed, was missing the point.
When you make a promise to the American people, you should keep it, Graham said. The one thing I like about President Trump ― hes trying his best to keep his promise. He promised to build a wall, and hes going to fight hard to keep that promise. After the caravan, if you dont see the need for more border security, youre blind.
The GOP senator bashed Democrats for refusing to give in to Trumps demands, accusing them of acting like children and encouraging the president to get tough.
I think Democrats hate Trump so much they want him to lose even though it would be good for the country to work with him on border security, and if he doesnt break them now, its going to be a terrible 2019, Graham said. So, Mr. President, dig in.

I do agree that trump should keep his promises though. He promised a wall but that promise also included Mexico paying for that wall. Until he can keep the promise of Mexico paying for it, there should be no wall.
