The southern border is a mess.
I don’t know what has gotten into Sen. John Fetterman. He has been a fierce supporter of Israel and truthful about Sen. Bob Menendez, saying that accusations against him are worse than the charges against Rep. George Santos.
Now, Fetterman has shown support for action at the border, lecturing the Democrats about not taking it seriously. From Politico:
As stalled immigration negotiations imperil U.S. aid to Ukraine and Israel, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) is blaming not only Republicans but also members of his own party for what he described as a reflexive political resistance to a border security deal.“I hope Democrats can understand that it isn’t xenophobic to be concerned about the border,” Fetterman said in an interview. “It’s a reasonable conversation, and Democrats should engage.”Fetterman, a progressive favorite, urged Democrats to acknowledge the large numbers of migrants streaming across the southern border. He cited the nearly 270,000 border encounters that U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported in September.“Honestly, it’s astonishing. And this isn’t a Fox News kind of statistic. This is the government’s,” he said. “You essentially have Pittsburgh showing up there at the border.”
Lukeville, AZ, remains the hot spot, but videos have shown crossings have increased in California.
Authorities have street released over 44,000 people in San Diego County since September.
Lukeville, AZ. The hotspot.
Bill Melugin of Fox News and Ali Bradley of News Nation never sleep. Through interviews, both have found that adult men from around the world make up the majority of migrants.
The majority are also not seeking asylum. They want to work.
I do not doubt that many want to become citizens and work. It’s unfortunate they’re being used as pawns, making it nearly impossible to weed out the nefarious actors from those who want to contribute.
They’ve been told or led to believe they can literally walk across the border without any problems.
