Rep. Jeffries: Trump Demanding ‘5th Century Solution’ with ‘Medieval Border Wall’

‘No one outside of 1600 Pennsylvania avenue thinks that this border wall is in any way effective in terms of dealing with improving border security on our southern border’

EXCERPT:

JEFFRIES: “Democrats have consistently indicated that we are willing to substantially increase funding for border security that takes the form of enhanced technology, drones, satellites, cell phone towers, reinforcing existing fencing and barriers that currently are in existence. But we’re not willing to waste taxpayer dollars on a medieval border wall that’s a 5th century solution to a 21st century problem, and we’re certainly not willing to reward a presidential temper tantrum that has shut down the government for 19 days.”
