On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence spoke out about the immigration and the migrant caravan which is currently approaching the United States, reports The Hill. The Friday interview aired earlier today.
An Overview of the Vice President’s Statements
During a Hill.TV interview, Pence spoke out against the “crisis of illegal immigration.”
“On any given day, we have more than a thousand people attempt to get into this country illegally. Democrats on Capitol Hill have opposed building a wall, opposed closing the loopholes that human traffickers use to entice vulnerable families to make a long and dangerous journey north.”
The vice president then noted that President Trump is determined to fix the “broken immigration system” by building a wall across the Southern border. Shortly thereafter, Pence shared remarks about the approaching migrant caravan.
“The latest caravan is just the latest reminder to the American people of how much we need to address this crisis.”
Towards the end of the interview, the vice president tied the need for immigration reform in with the paramountcy of maintaining “Republican leadership” in the government.
