Donald Trump gave Senate Republicans a slogan on Wednesday in an attempt to boil his argument for a border barrier down to its essence as they prepare for a pair of showdown votes Thursday.
'BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!' the president tweeted. 'This is the new theme, for two years until the Wall is finished (under construction now), of the Republican Party. Use it and pray!'
Trump's framing of his new project-branding campaign as a two-year effort suggests he intends it to be a 2020 slogan, which suggests he expects the battle over his signature campaign promise to be a long one.
He has been relentless in framing his long-promised U.S.-Mexico wall as a tool for stopping drug trafficking and a string of high-profile murders linked to illegal immigrants.
He tweeted Wednesday that there is '[g]reat unity in the Republican Party,' and declared that GOp senators '[w]ant to, once and for all, put an end to stoppable crime and drugs! Border Security and Wall. No doubt!'
President Donald Trump has unveiled a new slogan that he hopes Republicans will latch onto
'Build the wall & crime will fall,' Trump tweeted on Wednesday as the U.S. Senate gears up for a pair of test votes Thursday on reopening the government
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell announced a plan to vote on bills to end the shutdown; He and Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer made a joint appearance on the Senate floor to announce Thursday's vote on a pair of competing bills
Trump has promised a border barrier since 2015, saying he'll complete a patchwork wall that dots portions of the 1,900-mile border between the U.S. and Mexico
The Senate will vote Thursday on two separate bills that would immediately end the government shutdown: one would fully fund the wall and another would fund the closed agencies through February 8.
The deal was announced on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon in a joint appearance by GOP leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic leader Chuck Schumer.
Neither bill is seen as having a strong chance of passing, increasing the odds that the government shut down will continue into next week.
But the offer to hold votes on the competing bills shows the pressure lawmakers are feeling to reopen the federal government.
The Senate will vote at 2:30 p.m. Thursday on back-to-back measures: the first vote will be on Trump's proposal that includes temporary protection to DACA recipients and gives him the $5.7 billion he needs to build his border wall.
The second vote would be on the House Democrats' plan to temporarily re-open the government until February 8 to allow time to negotiate a resolution on border security funding. It does not include the funding for the president's wall.
Each leader praised their respective party's plan.
'To reject this proposal, Democrats would have to prioritize political combat with the president ahead of federal workers, ahead of DACA recipients, ahead of border security, and ahead of stable and predictable government funding. Is that really a price that Democrats want to pay to prolong this episode, which they say they want to be over and done with?' McConnell said of the president's plan.
'It will allow us to then debate without hostage taking, without temper tantrum, without anything, how we can best debate border security, get that done, hopefully, by February 8 and keep the government open. So if you're looking for a way to open up the government, this is the way,' Schumer said of the second vote on the Democratic proposal.
Both measures will need 60 votes to advance in the legislative process - an uphill battle that will be hard for the bills to beat.
If Democrats don't support the first vote and Republicans don't support the second vote, then each measure fails and the shutdown continues.
The announcement of a path forward comes on Day 32 of the longest government shutdown in American history.
The vote would come before Friday's pay day for the federal government, which would mark the second pay cycle in which workers would receive blank checks.
The measures would offer back pay to 800,000 federal workers going without paychecks since the government closed on Dec. 22.
One measure would fully fund President Trump's border wall
Trump outlined a plan to end the government shutdown on Saturday, offering congressional Democrats three years of legislative relief for 700,000 DACA recipients — including protection from deportation — and an extension of legal residence for people living in the country under 'Temporary Protective Status' designations.
DACA refers to the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which offered a no-deportation guarantee to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants whose parents brought them into the U.S. as minors.
TPS is a Justice Department program that grants residency and work permits to people from 10 countries affected by natural disasters or brutal armed conflicts. They include El Salvador, Haiti, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua, Somalia, Syria, Sudan, South Sudan and Yemen.
But when the measure was formally unveiled Monday night it also included several changes to asylum law that would make it more difficult for people to seek refuge from persecution in their home countries.
Democratic congressional leaders, who had already rejected the president's offer, were outraged.
Schumer called the changes to asylum law a 'poison pen.'
Last week, House Democrats passed an emergency disaster relief bill that also funded the federal government through February 8.
That is the second measure the Senate will vote on Thursday.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
