'Order at the border': Klobuchar demands illegal immigrants learn English in 2006 clip

2020 presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar once called for the United States to restore “order at the border” by building a fence and cracking down on companies who hire illegal immigrants, according to a recently unearthed 2006 video.

“I do believe that we need more resources at the border, and that includes a fence,” Klobuchar said during a 2006 debate. “We have people waiting to come in legally, thousands of people waiting to come in legally to this country, and we have people coming in illegally — that’s not right.”

“We need to get order at the border,” she continued.

Klobuchar did express support for amnesty in the clip by offering a path to citizenship for people currently in the country illegally, but she also included the caveat that those potential citizens must learn English first.

Snarknado:
She has now clarified that she actually meant to demand that all Americans learn Spanish so they can better empathize with illegals.
