*Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2018 *

**Statement on Congressional Action To End the Federal Government Shutdown **

*January 22, 2018 *

I am pleased that Democrats in Congress have come to their senses and are now willing to fund our great military, border patrol, first responders, and insurance for vulnerable children. As I have always said, once the Government is funded, my administration will work toward solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration. We will make a long-term deal on immigration if, and only if, it is good for our country.
