On Friday's broadcast of MSNBC's “Morning Joe,” U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) said he voted in favor of tens of billions of dollars in border security funding, but it would do nothing. “This surge is unlike any other,” he said. Everything I've seen here in Arizona, and I've been a legislator for 10 years. ”
“We have a problem at the border,” Gallego said. “We need to come together for solutions that will make our border even more secure. Voters are demanding it. This surge is a sign that I am here in Arizona… I've been a congressman for 10 years. I voted for $92 billion in border security in the past, and it still hasn't helped. And this is what the United States, Republican senators and I disagree with Kali Lake, who claims to be the biggest Trump supporter in the world, given the fact that it has been used as a political tool by other politicians. Do you agree with Trump that we shouldn't fix the border to help him and her politically? I think this is a question that should be asked of every Republican, but this is dangerous territory that we are in. We need to treat this as a serious situation, not as a political opportunity. And that the Republicans did it for the sole purpose of restoring Donald Trump to the presidency, of all things. It's shameful to be doing that.”
