Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn., said that he hopes Democrats know that it “isn’t xenophobic” to be worried about the southern border and argued that the Democratic Party should engage in debates about it.
“I hope Democrats can understand that it isn’t xenophobic to be concerned about the border,” Fetterman told Politico. “It’s a reasonable conversation, and Democrats should engage.”
Fetterman cited the near 270,000 border encounters in September, according to the outlet, and said it was “astonishing.”
“You essentially have Pittsburgh showing up there at the border,” he added.
