Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said over the weekend that Democrats want a “pathway to citizenship” for the millions of illegal aliens that have entered the U.S.
Warren made the remarks during a Sunday ABC News interview on “This Week” with Martha Raddatz when pushed about President Joe Biden’s failure on immigration and border security.
“We need a pathway to citizenship for people who are here, for spouses, for dreamers, for essential workers, for people who serve in our military, for people who come to school here and want to help make this a stronger country,” she said.
Warren blamed Republicans for the crisis that Biden unleashed on the U.S. southern border when he came into office and reversed all of former President Donald Trump’s border policies.
Raddatz compared the number of illegal aliens that have entered the U.S. under Biden, which some estimates say is north of 10 million, to the 2 million who entered during Trump’s first term in office.
“What did the president do wrong?” Raddatz asked.
“No, this isn’t about what the president did wrong,” Warren claimed. “Remember, on the very first day that he was sworn into office, President Biden asked Congress both for the resources and for comprehensive immigration reform. The Republicans blocked it, blocked it, blocked it, blocked it.”
Raddatz fired back: “Donald Trump didn’t have that either, Senator. He didn’t have that either, and there were 2 million during his entire term.”
Raddatz also noted that voters overwhelmingly trust Trump more than Biden when it comes to immigration and securing the border.
