特朗普竟拿政府關門威脅國會撥款建牆

President Donald Trump threatened to push the government into a shutdown if Congress does not fund his border wall and change the nation's immigration laws.

美國總統唐納德·特朗普近日威脅稱，如果國會不撥款修建隔離牆並修改美國的移民法，那麼他就要讓政府關門。

"I would be willing to 'shut down' government if the Democrats do not give us the votes for Border Security, which includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!" Trump tweeted.

特朗普發推稱：“如果民主黨不支持邊界安全政策，包括修建隔離牆，那麼我就要讓政府關門。必須終結'綠卡抽籤'、'抓了又放'等等做法，最終實行擇優的移民制度！我們需要優秀的人進入我們國家！”

Trump has previously floated the possibility of a government shutdown over border security and immigration.

特朗普此前就曾揚言，可能會就邊界安全問題和移民問題讓政府關門。

In May, Trump suggested "closing up the country for a while" if he did not get his wall.

今年五月，特朗普曾暗示，如果他沒有從墨西哥處得到資金修建隔離牆，那麼他將關閉邊界線一段時間。

"They don't want the wall," Trump said. "But we're going to get the wall, even if we have to think about closing up the country for a while."

特朗普當時說道：“他們不想要這堵牆。但是我們要建起這堵牆，就算我們不得不考慮關閉邊界線一段時間。”

Sunday's shutdown threat from Trump also echoed a remark he made in February when he said "I'd love to see a shutdown" if the government did not agree to address immigration.

特朗普的這次關停威脅，也與他在今年二月份時做出的言論相呼應。當時他稱，如果政府沒有就解決移民問題達成一致，那麼我寧願看到它關停。
