Hakeem Jeffries now claims Dems want to 'secure the border'

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters on Thursday that the Democrats believe the country needs to "secure the border" and make sure that it is "safe and strong," ideas that Republicans, including President Donald Trump, pushed for years under the Biden administration and its border crisis.

In response to a reporter’s question on whether Democrats would support additional funding for border security proposed by Republicans, Jeffries said, "We would need to look at the particulars."

"We believe that we need to secure the border. Make sure that it is safe, and strong, that the rule of law consistent with America as a country of a nation of laws is fully and completely implemented at the border."
