Sen. Kennedy vows GOP will not budge on border security: 'We're as serious as four heart attacks and a stroke'
Fox News
Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., joined "FOX & Friends" to react to migrants waiting to take trains in Mexico to the U.S. and blames Biden for embracing open borders.
JOHN KENNEDY: President Biden is in political trouble. His poll numbers are practically on the ocean floor. 70% of the American people think his first car was a chariot. At times, his vice president talks like she's from outer space. Part of the reason is that the president and his vice president are in trouble is the border, it's wide open. Now it's pretty easily fixed. Just stop people from coming in. Duh. So you say, why won't the president do that? Because he is a captive of the loon wing of the Democratic Party. Not all Democrats believe in an open border, but the loons do. And unfortunately, many members of the White House staff that make policy with their pumpkin spice lattes and their man purses, believe in open borders. This article was written by Fox News staff.
Now, the president sent us a national security bill and we said, OK, we're going to do national security, but we're not going to pass your bill until you close the border. And the president said, surely you're not serious. And the Republicans in the Senate said, don't call me Shirley and we are serious. We're as serious as four heart attacks and a stroke. And here's where we are now: in recent days the president has decided, well, maybe we better do something at the border. And the loon wing of the Democratic Party is beating him up like he stole Christmas. But we're not going to get a deal done until the president agrees that we've got to secure the border.
Thousands of migrants lined railroad tracks as a freight train passed about three hours south of Eagle Pass, Texas, in Piedras Negras, Mexico, waiting for a chance to jump aboard to the southern border, where they are expected to arrive in the coming days.
