"Look at the numbers, 267,000, 300,000 people showing up at our border. And, you know, we can all agree that's roughly the size of Pittsburgh. Now, that's unacceptable. And that's a national security issue. And that's chaos. So a secure border, being very pro-immigration, that's who I am as a Democrat."
Fetterman, who drew the ire of many Democrats when he supported the Laken Riley Act, explained how he has been at "odds with his base" but his values have "never changed" on the immigration issue, which polling shows was a key factor in President Donald Trump's election victory in November.
