"Moving these four bills without a broader agreement to address the border crisis is unacceptable," the White House said.

"The Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to enact appropriations legislation that adequately addresses the security and humanitarian crisis on our Southwest border and gets the entire Federal Government back to work for the American people as soon as possible," the statement continued.

Elsewhere in the release, the White House stated firmly that an appropriations bill would have to fully fund the government as well as the president's demand for the border wall in order to be considered for Trump's signature.

"The Administration is committed to working with the Congress to reopen agencies affected by lapsed appropriations, but any effort to do so must address the security and humanitarian crisis on our Southwest border and should restore funding for all agencies affected by the lapse," the statement reads.

Democrats are set this week to hold votes on four House bills aimed at funding various parts of the federal government in an attempt to raise pressure on the GOP-held Senate to take them up, despite Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellMcConnell focuses on confirming judicial nominees with COVID-19 talks stalled McConnell accuses Democrats of sowing division by 'downplaying progress' on election security Warren, Schumer introduce plan for next president to cancel ,000 in student debt MORE's (R-Ky.) pledge to not vote on bills that did not have the White House's approval.

McConnell has accused Democrats in the Senate of holding up the chamber's business over the shutdown fight, which dragged on into its 19th day on Wednesday.

“They’ve put that partisan tantrum ahead of keeping a quarter of the government open and now they’re saying their partisan tantrum is more urgent than pressing legislation that concerns our alliances with Israel and the Syrian civil war,” he said this week.

Trump and congressional leaders held their latest meeting on seeking a way past the shutdown impasse on Wednesday, but both sides emerged saying no progress had been made.
