Becerra: Walls Are ‘a Medieval Technology that Doesn’t Have a Place in the 21st Century’

EXCERPT:

BECARRA: "Dana, first, thanks for having me. Secondly, we’ve always called for border security on a bipartisan basis. But building walls, that's a medieval technology that doesn’t really have a place in the 21st century. We know better ways to try to detect people trying to cross our borders, better ways to apprehend them than trying to put up walls that we’ve seen can be surpassed and don’t provide the kind of protection that we need. We have sued the Trump administration because the Trump administration doesn’t have the legal authority to build the type of wall that he’s proposing nor does he have the money, by the way. And we are prepared to go to court and make that case and we believe that the institutions of our government, our courts will once again show that the president has acted outside the law."
