south carolina rotary club in 2006 and you re running for president with the secure the border fence act. what might you say to volters about how you feel about a fence. will: i voted forked 700 miles of fence. pete: that s even more than what donald trump put up in his first term and 700 miles with big statement in 2006 and fast forward to 2020 and here s the tune you re hearing from joe biden. stop, done, over, notes going to do it. withdraw the lawsuits. we re out. we are not going to confiscate the land. pete: c what changed?
wall congresswoman dingell, democrat in michigan, said i m ready to talk about this right now. the whole show came to it. a little bit of a halt yesterday, when she was talking about it. i m just ready to go. obviously, border security s were talking about. let s just do it now. i said, even before the government shuts down mike opens come i want to do it now. do you agree that a barrier is part of the deal? martha: yes. harris: you have democrats on the record saying this. martha: absolutely you do. since 2006, the secure border fence act, you have democrats 100% behind the idea of having a secure border. i don t know how anybody could not be in favor of having a border that is secure. it s the way every country works. there has to be processed to get in and out of the country. democrats have set up time and time again. nancy pelosi is really the one person in the country who has said that she s only willing to give a dollar to make sure that
released into the united states. under asylum laws with new polls, lack of immigration law judges, they know once they hit here they will be released, their court date will be for 2 or 3 years, we never hear from them again. that is why i am saying we need to do all including the wall. jillian: let s look at some numbers, there s been increased support for the border wall, look at a difference of a year, 42% support it now as opposed to the 34% who supported it in 2018. why do you think more people are in favor of it now? because of television shows like yours and what you just said and the american people are looking at common sense and the common sense says a physical barrier is part of the multilayer approach of physical infrastructure, technology, personnel. it works. looking back at 2006 when bipartisan secure border fence act was approved, the same

people caught illegally coming into the country. when you think about the numbers, the president says this is a winner for him. the democrats are trying to strike a balance between providing border security and at the same time not alienating individuals because hispanic and latino population is growing in the united states, this isn t just about being politically correct, the federal government in particular does have an obligation, it is one of their primary, you know, functions to defend our nation and secure our borders and so i think that, you know, at the end of the day democrats and republicans need to come together and we need to deal with comprehensive immigration reform. but has to happen. capri, more than a decade ago came together to support the 2006 secure border fence act and a lot were barack obama and they
