Pelosi Responds: ‘President Trump Must Stop Holding the American People Hostage’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PELOSI: “He promised to keep government shutdowns for months or years no matter whom it hurts. That’ plain wrong. The fact is we all agree we need to secure our borders while honoring our values. We can build the infrastructure roads at our powrts of entry. We can install new technology to scan cars and trucks for drugs coming into our nation. We can hire the personnel we need to facilitate trade and immigration at the border. We can fund more innovation to detect unauthorized crossings. The fact is that women and children at the border are not a security threat. They are humanitarian challenge. A challenge that president Trump’s own cruel and counter productive policies have only deepened. And the fact is president Trump must stop holding American people hostage. Let’s stop manufacturing a crisis, must reopen the government. Thank you. Senator Schumer.”
