Lawmakers in direct opposition to President Trump and his policies have tried in every way to convince Americans that a border wall is unnecessary despite their previous support for such measures.
Not too long ago, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said, “I have never supported a border wall, and I challenge anyone on the hard right to find a time that I—or any expert—has supported a wall.”
He clearly must have forgotten the Secure Fence Act of 2006, which was passed by a Republican Congress and signed by President George W. Bush, which authorized about 700 miles of fencing along certain stretches of land between the border of the United States and Mexico.
According to Politifact, at the time the act was being considered, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Chuck Schumer were all members of the Senate — they all supported this measure.
Or this, which was earlier reported by ILMF:
Back in 2013 Democratic Senators such as Chuck Schumer, Mazie Hirono, and Elizabeth Warren voted yes to protect the border along the United States and Mexico in a bipartisan effort in immigration reform.
Included was about 700 miles of fencing along the border and efforts to end chain migration and the visa lottery.
Flash forward to 2019 and these same type of Democrats are no longer supporting immigration reform strategies proposed by President Donald Trump.
While top Democrats continue to claim there is no CRISIS at the border, those on the front lines tell a much different story.
While filming a segment on Border Security CBS did an interview with top ranking Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agent Fernando Grijalv. During his interview Grijalv echoed the concerns The President is trying to convey to the American People.
According to CBS, a group of 180 migrants were apprehended by Arizona border agents Wednesday morning.
Grijalva said the area has become a hotbed for illegal crossing.
“I’ve seen six different presidents at the time that I’ve been with the Border Patrol and this is the worst crisis that I’ve seen,” he said.
Despite not being paid because of the shutdown, Grijalva said patrols are dangerous, but that hasn’t stopped him or other agents from doing their jobs.
“They know that we have a job to do,” he said.
