Vulnerable House Dem flip-flops on immigration after dismissing border wall as 'silly'
Fox News
Vulnerable Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Susan Wild appeared to backtrack her immigration stance after calling a border wall "silly" and dismissing the notion her state is a border state.
Wild’s op-ed, which was headlined "Your View by US Rep. Susan Wild: It’s time to do something about the Southern border," comes after immigration has spiraled under the Biden administration. Nearly 7.3 million illegal immigrants flooded the nation between Biden’s first day in office and February of this year, Fox News Digital previously reported. The figure is greater than the population of 36 individual states, and has affected states across the nation.
After the Biden administration avoided calling the flood of migrants at the border a "crisis" in 2021, Wild joined a C-SPAN program in January 2022 to discuss Biden’s first year in office and said she doesn’t agree with Republican colleagues that every state was a border state due to lax immigration laws.
