This guy has been sounding more and more like a Republican.
Democrats need to get past their knee-jerk rejection of improved border security, Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said Thursday.
“I hope Democrats can understand that it isn’t xenophobic to be concerned about the border,” Fetterman said, according to Politico. “It’s a reasonable conversation, and Democrats should engage.
Fetterman pointed to the sheer scale of illegal immigration, noting that Customs and Border Protection reported about 270,000 migrant encounters in September.
“Honestly, it’s astonishing. And this isn’t a Fox News kind of statistic. This is the government’s,” he said. “You essentially have Pittsburgh showing up there at the border."
