Steve Scalise: Dems Want ‘Amnesty’ and ‘Open Borders’

‘This bill is even stronger than the last bill at building the wall’

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: "I just don’t get it, Steve. So many Republicans want a lot of the stuff that’s in this particular bill. So why — you know, you can’t have everything you want, you have to give the Democrats something. So why don’t they give them the DREAMers and a path to citizenship for however I think it’s 1.8 million, including their family members, which is what the Democrats want? Why not give up something to get more?"
SCALISE: "Well, because what the Democrats want is amnesty and open borders. And that’s really what it’s come down to, and they don’t want to build the wall. And let’s be clear, you know, I fully support what President Trump is doing to try to secure our border. Which includes building the wall, not the only thing to do but it's one of the things you should be doing. And so, you know, you have a president who wants to actually secure America’s border, that should not be a partisan issue. Unfortunately, here in Washington Democrats here don’t want to secure the border and working with this president. So we’re going to keep trying to get it done. But, you know, today is going to be another effort and we’re going to keep at it."
