Ciscomani on Democrats' Opposition to Trump's Border Policy
Representative Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) discussed Democratic opposition to President Donald Trump's border policy with Cactus Politics, saying they are "looking for any reason, excuse, or opportunity to oppose what President Trump is doing, especially when it has been as successful as the border security piece."
"My God, even [Senator] Bernie Sanders (I-VT); I saw an insert of an interview where they said, 'Is there anything that you think the President has gotten right?' 'We have made a lot of progress on border security,' even Bernie Sanders said that," Rep. Ciscomani noted, adding, "You cannot deny the fact that apprehensions are down over 90% and that that has worked."
More to the point, Rep. Ciscomani continued, "Not one law has changed. We always talked about that. It is not the laws that are needed; it is the implementation of the current law and the executive orders that Biden undid when he was in [office]."
