'We Have a Migrant Crisis on the Southern Border,' Says Dem Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang
By Nicholas Ballasy April 15, 2019
WASHINGTON -- Andrew Yang, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, said there is a "migrant crisis" on the U.S.-Mexico border that needs to be addressed.
In February, President Trump declared a national emergency as a way to construct additional physical barriers on the southern border. Democrats overwhelmingly voted to block Trump's border declaration. Some Republicans joined the Democrats in voting for legislation that would reverse the national emergency. Trump ultimately vetoed the bill.
Yang has said he supports a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants but his immigration reform plan would "reflect the fact that these individuals tried to circumvent our legal immigration system." During a CNN town hall on Sunday evening, Yang was asked to elaborate on his statement.
