someone running for president to take that simplistic of view. by the way, the bottom line is the fence doesn t stop anybody who really wants to get across. you go under, around, through. the ranchers say they don t need a fence. has your mind changed on this personally or just acting as the president s advocate? i think there is an economist that i don t remember who gets credit for it, he said when the facts change, my opinion changes. what do you do, sir? we had 60,000 people try to cross the border every month for the last three months. things on the ground are different. and when the circumstances change, you change your opinion. the fences that we have built on the southern border, the ones that are already there under republican leadership, democrat leadership, san diego, el paso, more than 90% effective in preventing criminal immigration. we need more of that. do we need it from coast to coast, 2,000 miles all the way across? no. the president admitted as such. there are
strategy discussion. look, we were there to discuss what we need to do to ensure that we protect the american people who want rising wages and safe streets. that is a very worthy reason to get together. we were building a strat bring to get border security outcomes that the president ran on. some senate democrats are interested in issues like the bridge@act, tps, who might be willing to come on board with a robust border security package, with a physical barrier, wall, whatever you want to call it. that s ultimately our path to success. look, in that room in 2015 called the wall childish. he said it was absurd. he said it wouldn t be effective. listen. and, by the way, the bottom line is the fence doesn t stop anybody who really wants to get across. you go under, around, through. that s what the ranchers tell us. they don t need a fence. what they need is more manpower, technology and more willingness to enforce the law as it exists
and almost childish to take that simplistic of view. the fence doesn t stop anybody who really wants to getting across. you go under, you go around, you go through it. when words come back to haunt you. childish. everything on tape and you have to remember that. knows are strong words, but there is some truth to what he is saying. the wail is nll is not going to everything. a lot of these people are going under wault or thll or they are into this country. but it is something that the president was able to promise his base he was going to get that done and he needs to make progress. and i m not saying that it is the correct answer and that it will solve all the problems, but in his mind and his base, that is a good way to go about doing it. alice stewart, thank you so much for your time. those mulvaney comments from 2015. it is important to point out the lens here. there are some people that hear about the government shutdown,
staff, mick mulvaney. here s what he said about this in 2015. the fence is an easy thing to sell politically. it s an easy thing for someone who doesn t follow the issue very closely to say, oh, well that will solve everything. build the fence. the fence doesn t solve the problem. to just say build the darn fence and have that be the end of an immigration discussion is absurd and almost childish for someone running to president to take that simplistic of view. and the bottom line is the fence doesn t stop anybody who really wants to get across. you go under. you go around. you go through it. how long can he last? i mean he gets a big amen, but that s the opposite of what the president says. boy, i wonder if mick mulvaney will back away from that now. please, mick, don t back away. don t do it. jobs doesn t matter that much. just hours away from the third shutdown in one year. this hasn t happened in decades. it s not even over a critical issue. the wall is not border security. we r
