Tim Walz Says He Wants To Help Illegals Climb Border Wall
The Democrat-incentivized border crisis is a key concern for American voters as they approach the 2024 election. Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Governor Tim Walz as her running mate, but Walz appears to be more focused on facilitating illegal immigration rather than addressing voters’ desires for border solutions. Shortly before his selection, Walz jokingly suggested investing in “30-foot ladders” to help individuals illegally trying to cross the border wall, negating the significance of Trump’s border security measures.
While Walz acknowledges the necessity for border control, he stops short of endorsing Trump’s strategies and policies aimed at managing illegal immigration, instead promoting a legal framework for asylum seekers. He criticizes Trump for opposing certain immigration reform proposals, asserting that the former president is not interested in genuinely solving the border issue. Walz’s own proposal emphasizes the U.S. as a welcoming country for those seeking asylum, highlighting a reliance on technology and increased border patrol rather than strict enforcement.
The Democrat-incentivized border crisis ranks at the top of American voters’ concerns heading into the 2024 election, but Vice President Kamala Harris’ newly named running mate Gov. Tim Walz is not interested in addressing their desire for a solution. Instead, he’s committed to helping illegals continue their mass invasion.
Days before he was announced as the Democrat presidential nominee’s VP pick, Walz told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that he would invest in ladders that could aid foreign criminals illegally trying to enter the country by scaling Trump-endorsed deterrents like walls.
“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 thirty-foot ladder factory,” Walz quipped.
Walz, who was previously hesitant to call the border chaos plaguing the country a crisis, admitted that Democrats should “acknowledge that every nation and the United States needs to control its border” including the northern one that skirts his own state. Yet, he stopped short of crediting former President Donald Trump’s border wall and popular deportation plans as the fix for the broken border policies wreaking havoc on the country.
Instead, Walz criticized Trump for opposing the Senate’s plans to hand out amnesty to foreign criminals.
“You can do that using the right tools. And the Lankford-Sinema bill that he did kill would have done that,” Walz insisted.
Walz claims Trump is not “interested in solving the problem” and will not actually “do anything” to curb the record-breaking influx welcomed under the Biden administration, despite the Republican’s successful history of doing so. Walz’s own plan for the border, however, centers on making sure the U.S. will “always be a guiding light” for anyone who illegally enters the country claiming asylum.
“You stop this using electronics, you stop this using border patrol agents, and you stop it by having a legal system that allows for that tradition of allowing folk to come here, just like my relatives did, to come here, be able to work, and establish the American dream. He’s not interested in that. He wants to demonize,” Walz concluded.
Walz’s embrace of Democrats’ radical amnesty-for-all plans comes as no surprise given his track record of endorsing and incentivizing the invasion. In addition to staunchly supporting the sanctuary city and state policies that have led to the injury and deaths of dozens of innocent Americans, Walz also believes in rewarding foreigners who enter the country illegally with taxpayer-funded benefits and privileges such as public health insurance, free college, and driver’s licenses.
