Biden's comments about a border fence and action to stop illegal border crossings will play into Trump's hand

Phillip Klein:
Joe Biden's old comments about building a border fence are political gold for Trump

...
"Folks, I voted for a fence, I voted, unlike most Democrats — and some of you won't like it — I voted for 700 miles of fence," Biden said. "But, let me tell you, we can build a fence 40 stories high — unless you change the dynamic in Mexico and — and you will not like this, and — punish American employers who knowingly violate the law when, in fact, they hire illegals. Unless you do those two things, all the rest is window dressing."

He went on: "Now, I know I'm not supposed to say it that bluntly, but they're the facts, they're the facts. And so everything else we do is in between here. Everything else we do is at the margins. And the reason why I add that parenthetically, why I believe the fence is needed does not have anything to do with immigration as much as drugs. And let me tell you something folks, people are driving across that border with tons, tons, hear me, tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin and it's all coming up through corrupt Mexico."

The current Democrats are acting like there is no border problem.  While Nancy Pelosi is now trying to act like Democrats have not said there is no border crisis, she is on tape as saying that along with Chuck Schumer.
