Atlanta, GA—Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman Jenny Beth Martin today applauds President Trump for traveling to the southern border during the partial government shutdown.

“President Trump is showing the American people that he is serious about protecting our southern border.  At the border today, President Trump said ‘This is common sense. They need a barrier. They need a wall. Without it there will be hard work, grueling work and death…It’s not about politics for me. It is about doing the right thing.’ President Trump is right to take a principled stand on what needs to be done to protect all Americans. We stand with President Trump on his commonsense approach in his fight to secure our southern border.”
