Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday brushed off opposition to President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall, saying that Democrats will “pass anything as long as it doesn’t work.”
“In 2006, 64 Democrats approved a bill to build a fence, a barrier,” Fox’s Brian Kilmeade said, referring to the Secure Fence Act of 2006. “What changed?”
“Let me tell you, be frank with you,” Sessions replied. “Whenever you come up with anything that actually fixed the problems, that is what does not pass. They’ll pass anything as long as it doesn’t work.”
Sessions said Democrats will “talk about fixing the border again and again and again, but when the chips are down they back off.”
The Secure Fence Act of 2006, signed by President George W. Bush, authorized the construction of about 700 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, a far less ambitious project than Trump’s proposed 1,000-mile-long “real wall.”
