Trump Campaign Posts ‘Crisis at the Border’ Video Ahead of Border Visit

 

 

ET: As President Donald Trump prepared to visit California in a push for stronger border security, his re-election campaign released a new video on April 5 deriding Democrats for their dismissal of what Trump has been describing for several months as a crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The minute-long video featured clips of a number of 2020 Democratic presidential contenders including Beto O’Rourke, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) publicly refuting that there was a crisis on the Southern border. At the same time, it showed footage of Obama-era experts and media figures admitting that there actually is an undeniable emergency happening now.

“Democrats do not want to keep Americans safe,” text in the video reads.

“It is time for Democrats to stop playing political games with national security,” another read.

The video made reference to a day in late March when 4,100 illegal aliens were apprehended by Border Patrol agents, marking the most apprehensions in a single day over the past 10 years, according to Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Kevin McAleenan.

In another part, Trump’s campaign pointed out the record numbers of illegal aliens caught at the border per month. A graphic highlighted the end of 2018 where there were 60,000 apprehensions while in March this year there were 75,000. It noted that now there are 100,000 illegal immigrants who have been caught so far.

“There were 4,000 apprehensions. I know that a thousand overwhelms the system. I cannot begin to imagine what 4,000 a day looks like,” a clip of Jeh Johnson, a former Obama DHS Secretary, said in the campaign video.

“There’s a massive migration crisis right now,” Chuck Todd from NBC News said in another clip featured in the video.  more

  1. I still have the same questions about open borders.

    Why do none of the Leftist open borders crowd ever state how many illegal and unrestricted migrants we should have come in, how many is enough?

    Secondly, and probably more important, why does no one in the MSM or our political leaders ask them that question? Why is that number ignored as irrelevant and doesn’t matter?

    Even Trump doesn’t come out publicly to his opponents with the simple question “How many is enough?”.
