President Donald Trump Now Says The Border Wall Can Be 'A Slat Fence' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
In a recent segment from MSNBC's "The 11th Hour," the discourse around President Trump's evolving stance on the border wall takes center stage. Initially promising a "real, impenetrable wall," Trump now refers to it as a "slat fence," highlighting a significant shift in rhetoric regarding border security.
The segment showcases a video released by the White House, where Trump discusses the dangers associated with the southern border, emphasizing issues like drug trafficking and gang violence. He reinforces the necessity of border security, asserting that it can be achieved through either a wall or a "slat fence." This change in terminology has been met with skepticism, as commentators reflect on its implications and efficacy compared to previous commitments.
The discussion further delves into the political ramifications, with guests from both sides of the aisle questioning the effectiveness of such a "slat fence." They highlight that this rebranding of the wall may stem from the realities of Senate negotiations and the president's need to align with available funding options. Critics argue this semantic shift does little to address the broader issues at play, including the ongoing partial government shutdown, which some believe Trump instigated to press for more robust border security measures.
For WindowsForum.com users engaged in political discussions, this video encapsulates the ongoing debate around immigration reform and government funding.
