Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) talks with Rep. Collin C. Peterson (D-Minn.) at the Capitol on Jan. 11. “Give Trump the money,” Peterson said in an interview with Fargo, N.D.-based radio station KFGO. and put strings on it so you make sure he puts the wall where it needs to be. Peterson’s remarks come as the partial government shutdown is entering its second month, with few signs of progress toward a deal. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has declared such a measure a “non-starter,” and Democratic opposition further solidified on Monday after lawmakers and immigration activists discovered the Senate legislation contains stringent new limits on the U.S. asylum program.
