Minnesota Democrat Rep. Collin Peterson said in an interview this week that the Democrats should give President Donald Trump the money that he wants to build the border wall on the southern border.
"Give Trump the money," Peterson said, adding that he would "Give him the whole thing ... and put strings on it so you make sure he puts the wall where it needs to be."
In an interview with the MinnPost on Wednesday, Peterson tried to clarify his remarks after enraging Democrats in Washington, D.C., highlighting that he specifically stated that there needed to be strings attached to the money to make sure that it is spent responsibly.
On Wednesday, Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi exchanged shots back-and-forth over the State of the Union address, with Trump ultimately deciding to drop the issue as he showed a willingness to work with the Democrats.
Fact #1: In four Customs and Border Protection sectors where physical barriers have been expanded - El Paso, Yuma, Tucson, and San Diego - illegal traffic has dropped by at least 90%. Fact #2: In fiscal year 2018, U.S. Border Patrol seized or helped seize 282,000 pounds of cocaine, 248,000 pounds of methamphetamine, 6,500 pounds of heroin, and 2,400 pounds of fentanyl.
Fact #4: The Democrats would rather risk the safety of hard-working Americans than work with President Trump to secure our nation's borders.
Fact #5: Nancy Pelosi and her hyper-liberal Congressional colleagues just passed a bill to give $54 BILLION to foreign governments, but Democrats won't allow just $5 billion to secure our borders and protect American citizens.
