US President Donald Trump has threatened Democrats with a government shutdown if they do not approve funding for US-Mexican Border wall and other immigration policy changes.
The President has requested $25 billion for the border wall, which was a key promise in his 2016 election campaign, although only $1.6 billion has been provided for the project.
The funding request comes at a time where the country prepares for midterm elections which could change the balance of power in the house and senate.
