White House counselor Kellyanne Conway contended Tuesday that congressional Democrats have a simple choice to make as the nation faces a funding deadline at the end of the month: “Do they want to keep the government open or the borders open?”
On Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom,” Conway made the administration’s case for the need to build a border wall ahead of a meeting between President Donald Trump, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, which took place at the White House later in the day.
“Look, the House bill with the $5 billion is more in line with what the president has asked for,” Conway said. “It’s not just a wall. It’s not just a physical wall. It’s a wall plus.”
Conway argued that walls work.
“We know in El Paso, El Centro, Yuma, for example. San Diego certainly. When walls were built, you did see a decrease in the number of illegal aliens coming over across those walls,” she said.
