Sen. Fetterman: Democrats 'Did Not Handle the Border Appropriately'
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized his party for failing to "handle the border" and for allowing thousands of migrants in under Joe Biden.Quote:Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized his own party for failing to “handle the border appropriately” and said that thousands of illegal aliens allowed in under the Biden administration was “unacceptable.”
During a discussion with Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) at the Senate Project, which was co-hosted by the Edward M. Kennedy Institute and the Orrin G. Hatch Foundation, Fetterman cast support behind President Donald Trump’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill and the “roughly $150 billion” that would be go towards securing the United States southern border, focusing on illegal immigration, the Hill reported.
“If I had to find something in that, the Big, Beautiful Bill, that I could support that, that’s a mistake that our party made and that’s the border,” Fetterman told Fox News host Shannon Bream, adding that he “absolutely” supports making investments to make the southern border secure.
“I thought the border was really important, and our party did not handle the border appropriately,” Fetterman added. “Look at the numbers, 267,000, 300,000 people showing up at our border, and we can all agree that’s roughly the size of Pittsburgh. Now that’s unacceptable and that’s [a] national security issue and that’s chaos.”
I wonder when Fetterman is going to switch parties.
