Today I tried to get answers from the Democrat Majority Leader on how they can claim this is a fabricated crisis when 17,000 criminals were caught trying to cross the border last year & 90% of the heroin in the US that's killing Americans at record rates comes across our border.
But Democrats don’t want to hear the facts. They don’t want to hear about the criminals, drugs, and trafficking pouring over our southern border into our communities. Why? Because the reality undermines their open borders agenda.
We could have the government open today if Democrats were willing to even try to propose a serious offer that addresses wall funding. But instead, Nancy Pelosi said she wouldn’t offer more than $1 for the wall. That’s how unserious Democrats are about reopening the government.
Democrats love to complain to the media about the government being closed, but for the 2 weeks they’ve had the majority, they’ve voted to leave for the weekend—over the objection of Republicans—instead of staying to work with us and @realDonaldTrump on a solution. Talk is cheap.
