On NBC News' "Meet The Press," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., insisted that President Trump "is not going to get the wall in any form." "President Trump should understand, there are not the votes for the wall in the House or the Senate," Schumer said. Still, the president doesn't have the votes from the Republican-controlled Congress to support funding for the wall at that level. Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have proposed no more than $1.6 billion for border fencing upgrades and other security measures -- but not a wall -- as outlined in a bipartisan Senate bill. Both parties in Congress have suggested that Trump would need to make the next move to resolve the impasse.
