Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, previously known for his low-key stance on border security, has recently taken a more assertive position on the issue following Vice President Kamala Harris' role as 'border czar' and his potential presidential bid.
In a recent interview with Anderson Cooper, Governor Walz criticized former President Trump's approach to border security, stating, 'He talks about this wall. I always say, 'Let me know how high it is. If it's 25 feet, then I'll invest in the 30-foot-ladder factory.' He's not interested in that. He wants to demonize.'
Walz highlighted a Senate compromise bill that was rejected by Republicans aligned with Trump, despite endorsement from Border Patrol agents. He emphasized the need for a more pragmatic approach, stating, 'What Democrats need to do is acknowledge, and he has ginned up fear, but our border can work better.'
These recent statements reflect Governor Walz's evolving stance on border security, as he navigates the complex political landscape surrounding the issue. As the debate continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how his position may further develop in response to ongoing developments at the border.
