One Illinois Democrat says President Trump wants to end legal immigration to the U.S. amid the ongoing government shutdown.
Congressman Luis Gutierrez tells ABC's "This Week," Republicans want to build a wall so that our workers don't have to compete with illegals that come across.
But Gutierrez says, "then they end legal immigration."
"The wall is a monumental waste of taxpayer's money," Gutierrez said. "And it's to build a monument to stupidity, and it's just idiotic."
But Gutierrez says he's ready to give President Trump his wall along the U.S.-Mexico border if Republicans will agree to new legal protections for a measure to fix and preserve Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program or DACA.
