Two Arizona ranchers are speaking out in support of President Trump’s proposed border wall after House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi recently claimed that the wall is “immoral, expensive, and unwise.”
Ranchers John Ladd and Fred Davis invited her to see the southern border from their property, but she never responded.
So they responded today on Fox and Friends, saying border crossings by illegal aliens have decreased 90% to 95% since Trump took office.
Ladd said Border Patrol data shows that some 500,000 illegal aliens have crossed his property in the 30 years he’s owned it.
Davis said the wall is necessary to stop drug cartels and other criminals from entering the U.S.
On Twitter today, President Trump appeared to be willing to wait on funding the wall until after a budget is passed, but insists it will get built.
