Senate Democrats have a very simple choice to make today. Either they will vote to keep the government open and secure our border, or they will vote for open borders, drug trafficking, and a government shutdown.
A few Democrats campaigned this year on building the wall and securing the border. Did they mean it?
“I wanted Mexico to pay for the wall. But they’re not. So we need to do it ourselves.” – Democrat Joe Manchin, June 2018
“I actually voted for border wall funding three different times. I’m fine with that. I’m fine with $3 [billion], $3.5, $4 or $5.” – Democrat Joe Donnelly, August 2018
“I’ve always supported increased and enhanced border security along our southwest border with Mexico … and yes, wall funding as well.” – Democrat Heidi Heitkamp, August 2018
"Jon wants to secure our border and is willing to make responsible investments in manpower, technology, fencing and, in places, a wall.” – Democrat Jon Tester’s spokesperson, August 2018
"I think we should do everything we can to secure the borders. ... We have to have walls, at least 700 to 900 miles.” - Democrat Joe Manchin last month
"$25 billion for increased border security" - Democrat Claire McCaskill's website, September 2018
