Here’s a collection of some of Twitter’s best responses to President Trump’s speech and the response from Senator Schumer and Speaker Pelosi:
.@chuckschumer & @SpeakerPelosi say wall is immoral. But Dems have supported barriers at border in the past. Why the change now? Sounds like partisan politics to me. When did liberals start caring more about protecting illegals than protecting American workers?

Facts: the White House laid out a budget request that details the humanitarian, security, & drug crisis at the border. This debate is much more than just a “wall” – & must be addressed.

It’s evident Democrats are unwilling to compromise. They are uninterested in negotiating. @SpeakerPelosi even jokingly admitted she would only give $1 to fund a border wall. Our border security isn’t a joke. It’s time to stop putting politics over people. #SecureOurBorder

Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer use their seven minutes to appeal for an end to the government shutdown. They offer no solutions to border chaos & both agree that President Trump has “manufactured” the border situation into a crisis. Not a strong presentation in my opinion.

This is Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer’s shutdown. They are keeping gov’t closed and playing political games to hold up critical border security legislation.

Okay. I’m done. Build the wall. Put whomever planned this Democratic response on the other side of it.

.@LindseyGrahamSC tells @seanhannity this is the “most presidential” he’s seen President Trump.
