Jessica Vaughan, from The Center for Immigration Studies, recently spoke with Fox New’s Heather Childers about a solution to the caravan that is headed for the United States. CNS has published a transcript of the interview. According to the transcript, Childers asked if President Donald Trump’s odds of getting funding for the border wall were increased given the approach of yet another migrant caravan. Vaughan responded, “Well, it should.” She explained that, “It definitely should because it’s pretty obvious to most people that a wall would stop this kind of thing from happening, or at least people getting through. That’s what used to be the case in California, across the border from San Diego in the nearby places there.” “People used to gather en masse and just run across when the sun went down, and when they put in the triple fencing people couldn’t do that anymore. It’s one of the most controlled parts of the border that we have. So we need more barriers like that to prevent these kinds of things from happening.” Back in September, Vaughan also spoke with Childers on the need for funding for the border wall, noting that Republicans were ‘squander(ing) this opportunity to deliver exactly what voters wanted and voted for two years ago.” She pointed out that there was a political advantage to funding the wall before the midterm elections. She also raised concerns over why some Republicans in Congress had been fighting against that. “The only reason I can think of is that some Republicans in House leadership, like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, want to wait until after the election so that they can tack onto this critical homeland security spending bill things that are not so popular. That’s the only reason they would wait.”
