Charlie Dent: ‘I Wish the President Would Stop Using the Term Wall’

‘Nobody on the Republican side that I know of believes we need a 2,000 mile concrete barrier on the southern border’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DENT: "I wish the president would stop using the term wall. We must establish operational control of the border. Nobody on the Republican side that I know of believes we need a 2,000 mile concrete barrier on the southern border. Yes, we need barriers in certain areas, we need technology drone sensors, there’s a way around it. Operational control we all support, Republicans and Democrats, but it has to be tied to the DACA population. We can do it, it is not that hard. I think that kind of rhetoric is not particularly helpful. There’s too much name calling on all sides. We have to knock it off right now and get down to the work in the government, get the budge it agreement tied to DACA, and I’ll tell you what, we can move on. It is not that hard to do. It is not a matter of the policy. We know what the policy is, we have to get beyond the politics. We have plenty of votes to pass these agreements."
