Vice President Mike Pence told a gathering of conservative Christian activists Saturday night at the Faith & Freedom Coalition's annual gala dinner that the Democratic policy goals relating to border security are "morally wrong" and would only enable the abuse and assault of migrants being trafficked to the southern border. Pence did not hold back in responding to a week filled with criticism of the Trump Administration following reports of unfavorable conditions facing migrants at the southern border. Pence suggested to donors of the leading national conservative evangelical grassroots organization that securing the southern border and building a wall is the morally appropriate response. He stated:
After spending the last six months denying there was a crisis at our southern border and doing nothing while our courageous and compassionate Customs and Border Protection personnel were overwhelmed by that crisis, now some Democrats want to lecture us about their moral concern. There's nothing compassionate about refusing to change the laws that human traffickers use to take advantage of poor families. Those who would advocate open borders, free health care for illegal immigrants and making illegal immigration legal are making it easier for human traffickers to mistreat poor and vulnerable families. That is morally wrong. And that has got to stop.
