The stance on border security by some Democrats, including San Diego Representative Mike Levin, is facing criticism after recent comments made by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. On a recent episode of Pod Save America, Jeffries described the border wall as “ineffective, medieval,” a statement that seems at odds with the Biden administration’s ongoing efforts to strengthen border infrastructure.
NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen highlighted this contradiction, pointing out the apparent disconnect within the Democratic Party on border security policy. “Does Mike Levin agree with Hakeem Jeffries that protecting our border is ‘ineffective and medieval?’” Petersen asked, drawing attention to the issue.
The criticism comes amidst ongoing concerns about border security, including illegal crossings and the smuggling of fentanyl into U.S. communities. Petersen’s question underscores a broader debate about the effectiveness of the Democratic Party’s approach to managing border issues and national security.
For San Diegans, the issue of border security is particularly poignant, given the city’s proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border. The conflicting messages within the Democratic Party on this issue hopefully will fuel further discussions about the need for a clear, unified, and effective approach to border security that addresses both national security and humanitarian concerns.
On Pod Save America’s episode this morning, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called the border wall, “ineffective, medieval.”
The same border wall that Joe Biden is now trying to rebuild.
Extreme Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries and Mike Levin have repeatedly failed to secure our border which has led to terrorists crossing, hammering U.S. cities, flooding our communities with fentanyl and caused countless heinous crimes.
