Trump To Take Action On Immigration Following Visit To Shanksville 9/11 Memorial

President Donald Trump told the  HILL.TV Wednesday that the 9/11 memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, renewed his resolve to build his stalled border wall. 

In that interview Trump, said he marveled at the Flight 93 National Memorial during a visit last week. He told the outlet “they built this gorgeous wall where the plane went down in Pennsylvania, Shanksville.” 

Trump also told the outlet that he's planning to take new immigration action soon. He says he'll “be doing things over the next two weeks having to do with immigration, which I think you'll be very impressed at.” 

The president has held out the possibility of a government shutdown before the November elections over his effort to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
