Border wall, border fence, or border barrier? Border security is certainly the most prominent issue currently facing the Republican Party but how to define it may be an even larger problem.

While the government shutdown plagued Congress for over a month, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Tulare) said last week that starting this week, his goal in border security negotiations will involve reaching an agreement on a new border barrier. Furthermore, McCarthy said he doesn’t care what anyone calls it, echoing past statements made by President Trump.
