b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 An incoming House Democratic lawmaker representing a border area emphasized
this week that the U.S.-Mexico border is safe, despite President Trump's
repeated calls for heightened security.
“The border is secure. It has never been safer,” said Rep.-elect Veronica
Escobar (D), who won election last week to represent Texas' 16th District,
encompassing El Paso and surrounding areas.
“It’s time to stop the national obsession with border security," Escobar
added during an event hosted by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
The former El Paso County judge, who won the race to replace Rep. Beto O'
Rourke (D-Texas), argued that "the goal post has kept moving" on border
security. |
