Dozens of Democrats have claimed a barrier should be part of the border crisis solution & should be negotiated on once the shutdown ended. @POTUS opened the government. Will they keep their word? Or allow Pelosi to cave to her party's open borders faction? republicanwhip.gov/news/60-democr…
Democrat leaders in their own words → Rep. Steny Hoyer, House Majority Leader: "Physical barriers are part of the solution"
Rep. Collin Peterson, House Agriculture Committee Chairman: “Give Trump the money… I’d give him the whole thing…and put strings on it so you make sure he puts the wall where it needs to be. Why are we fighting over this? We’re going to build that wall anyway, at some time.”
Rep. Cheri Bustos, DCCC Chair: “If we have a partial wall, if we have fencing, if we have technology used to keep our borders safe, all of that is fine…”
Democrats need to put their money where their mouth is and negotiate in good faith now that the government is open. A negotiated compromise on border security must include funding for physical barriers along our southern border. The safety of our communities depends on it.
