President Trump debuted the new phrase for the Republican Party on Wednesday. He tweeted it twice, along with a message.

"BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL! This is the new theme, for two years until the Wall is finished (under construction now), of the Republican Party. Use it and pray!"

It didn't take long for Twitter users to come up with their own rhymes.

Congress has not approved funding to construct a new wall during the Trump administration.

Over the weekend, President Trump offered Democrats a deal: temporary protections for some undocumented immigrants in exchange for $5.7 billion in border security funding. Democrats turned Trump down and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called the bill a "non-starter."
