Finally, they asked Pelosi if she would commit not to fund the border wall. The House Minority Leader said, “At last the chance to respond to you. Thank you. You asked a great deal of question… My response is the following, for a long time we’ve been fighting for the Dreamers.”
The protester said they are not Dreamers
The protesters told Pelosi that they are not Dreamers. They asked her to fight for the 11 million undocumented immigrants. Pelosi said, she understood their point and stressed that the protesters do not want answers since they keep on screaming.
Frustrated by the situation, the Congressman eventually asked the out of controlled demonstrators to stop. They yelled again and again and then asked Pelosi if she’s fighting deportation. She responded yes I am. They told her “You’re a liar” repeatedly.
Pelosi told the demonstrators that they don’t know what they are talking about and don’t want answers. She decided to end the event.
Immigration Liberation Movement never requested a meeting with Pelosi
After the unruly event, Pelosi released a statement indicating that she had conversations with different immigrant groups about their concerns. However, the Immigration Liberation Movement did not request a meeting with her.
