Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley claimed multiple times that the border is secure and argued in favor of securing funds for migrant families.
CNN host Jake Tapper balked at Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., saying the border is secure, noting that "millions" of people are crossing illegally.that the border with Mexico is secure, even as she acknowledged that waves of migrants are flowing into the United States.
"No doubt about it, our border is secure, and we are in the midst of a humanitarian crisis, and we have to fix a broken system," Pressley said, before being interrupted by Tapper to see if he heard correctly. GOP GOVERNORS CALL ON BIDEN TO PROVIDE ‘HONEST, ACCURATE’ DATA ON MIGRANT CRISIS AS NUMBERS SURGEPressley repeated that America is"in the midst of a humanitarian crisis" and that federal investment must be secured to support migrant families.
Pressley avoided the question by answering that"this is not a new crisis," labeling it once again as"a humanitarian crisis," noting her work representing"one of the most diverse constituencies in the country" and being the chair of the House Haiti caucus while representing"the third-largest Haitian diaspora."
"I’m not disagreeing with anything you’re saying, except for the idea that the border is secure. If you have people crossing the border, it’s just by definition not secure," Tapper said. He went on to note the argument that the lack of security at the border gives millions of migrants an incentive to work with smugglers and make the incredibly dangerous journey to cross illegally instead of using the safer legal processes.
