When Biden backed Trump's border policies

Beth Baumen:

During the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump campaigned heavily on putting an end to America's illegal immigration crisis. Building a border wall along the southern border is something he has fought heavily for and one of the main points of contention for Democrats.

CNN just uncovered a video from 2006 of then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) advocating for building a border wall and punishing employers that employ illegal aliens.

"Folks, I voted for a fence, I voted, and unlike most Democrats -- and some of you won't like it -- I voted for 700 miles of fence," he said during a town hall at a Rotary Club in Columbia, South Carolina.

"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 also reiterated the one fact President Trump has said (that Democrats often like to downplay).

"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," he said. "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."

Now he is pushing the same failed policies of other Democrats so that they can let in the illegals and get them counted in the census so they can steal House seats.
