Good afternoon,
As you cover President Trump’s visit to the border in California today, please consider the following statement from me:
“Throughout the campaign, President Trump promised a safer and more secure border. During President Trump’s time in office, he has delivered on that promise and today’s visit showcases his dedication to a secure America and the decline of crime and drugs flowing into our country.”– RNC Spokesperson Christiana Purves
Background:
- The Democrats’ plan to decriminalize illegal immigration and open our borders would:
- Increase illegal immigration from 100,000 apprehensions a month to “multiples of that.”
- Allow more crime and drugs like fentanyl to enter the United States.
- Provide even less border security than we had under the Obama Administration.
- Set the clock back on the safety and security provided to America under the Trump Administration.
- Would bring U.S. border stations to a “breaking point ”
