We had a great presentation from @VP Pence and his team regarding the emergency declaration and the need for additional spending to protect our southern border at today's Senate Republican lunch.

In 2014, President Obama declared a humanitarian crisis at our southern border because 120,000 unaccompanied minors were apprehended. As of today, we have already apprehended 120,000 in Fiscal Year 2019. The problems of 2014 are only getting worse.

For years I have worked across the aisle and with any willing participant to reform immigration. During this time, I never heard any Democrat – in either the Senate or House of Representatives – say there was NOT a crisis at our southern border.

In fact, Democrats agreed and were willing to spend billions to fix it. That was their position, grounded in fact; at least until
@realDonaldTrump became President.Show this thread -
The only thing being manufactured is Democrats arguing there is no crisis at the border. Why? They don’t want to recognize Trump as the legitimate president. Democrats’ refusal to acknowledge the problems and crisis at our southern border is pure political hypocrisy.

Hell Obama call a national emergency to send aid to Yemen, a radical stronghold, and called it humanitarian aid... A real crisis happens & Dems are afraid to lose voters & donations they are against what they use to be for ... SMH

the key word here is "unaccompanied" we've created "unaccompanied minors" through our practices and though an emergency was declared it wasn't in direct opposition to the democratic process - you sleep on a bed of lies

Tell us again why wasn’t this a national emergency issue during Jan 2017-Nov 2018?

You couldn't pass the bill with a republican controlled Congress. That's the difference.
