Mind today as long as base agrees with that again, if i were a democrat strategist, i would be the first to tell them you need to secure the border because the republicans are going to use this in 2020 and they are going to win on this. as long as that border is not secure, the republicans are going to be able to run on that platform and be able to pull voters to that point. ainsley: if he declare as national emergency people say big mess. end up in the courts and democrats will stop him in some...

Opposing this particular president on any issue for any reason, just for the sake of opposing him. now, look, walls and barriers are not immoral. how silly. enforcing our laws wasnt immoral back in 2006 when then-nor clinton and then-senator obamand the democratic leader were proud, proud to vote for physical barriers. the only things that have changed between then and now are the political winds and of course the occupant of the white house. so this is no new-found, principled objection. its ju...

Real problems. and there are problems at the border and if he doesnt understand that, he should go down there and take a look firsthand. i have been there. i think you have been there. to say that there is not a problem, everything is fine, take all those barriers away from coming. let everybody come in. take the magnetometers away from the doors. why dont we do that? because we feel like we have got to protect members of congress. why dont we protect the rest of america, at least to a degree as...

Is one of the favorite moneymakers for the criminal organizations that operate in mexico and in central america. there is a train of misery coming into the united states from these transnational criminal organizations, that traffic in drugs and people and human misery. im glad the president is taking his message directly to the american people. >> harris: when you hear that the vast majority of the numbers of people who would hurt us -- that violent threat coming into the country -- arrived by p...

For a physical barrier like the fences and barriers which already exist, which democrats have previously voted for with enthusiasm back in 2006, then-senator hillary clinton, barack obama, joe biden and the current democratic leader all voted for more than $1 billion to construct about 700 miles of physical barriers. then-senator obama called it badly needed funding for better fences and better security. that should help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration. that was senator barack obama...

>> the message from senate republicans, theyre clearly hoping president trump will take this opportunity to tell the american people theres a major security and humanitarian problem at the border. >> i want him to make the case like he has been doing, the idea that its a national knowledge m, of course, thats poo-pooed by the other side. but if you look at the heartland, most of the states in the country, especially places like indiana -- >> shepard: breaking news, mitch mcconnell speaking live ...

>> okay. im going to give you a sentence with a blank and ask if you can fill in the blank because i cant. the president of the united states wants $5.6 or $5.7 billion appropriated for blank. what is the answer to the question? what is the thing there? >> and thats just it. they have not specified it. look, as you know, long before donald trump was president, we had a broad strategy for border security. the issue here has never been about having secure borders. we need secure borders. weve alwa...

Thats a challenge. but i think the main thing is we do need to make sure senator mcconnell and senate republicans have to be part of the solution and they cant just go run away. >> okay. im going to give you a sentence with a blank and ask if you can fill in the blank because i cant. the president of the united states wants $5.6 or $5.7 billion appropriated for blank. what is the answer to the question? what is the thing there? >> and thats just it. they have not specified it. look, as you know,...

Barrier. its not going to be concrete. maybe itll be steel. still, he needs some way to save face here, and hes not getting it. >> this humanitarian crisis down at the southern border, weve heard, when did that start? who created it? >> the humanitarian crisis? lets see, weve had a policy of deterrence in our country since the 90s where different administrations had tried to implement deterrent policies. a lot of times theyve led to more deaths. thats something jacob soboroff has gone down to th...
