Dem candidate Kirsten Engel says GOP is doing 'disservice' to border communities by saying there's 'crisis'
Fox News
A Democratic congressional candidate in Arizona on Sunday claimed Republicans were doing a “grave disservice” to communities by depicting the U.S.-Mexico border as a “place of crisis.”
"The media and Republicans primarily have done really a grave disservice to our border communities and to migrants that are seeking safety in our country by depicting our border as a place of crisis and rampant crime," Engel said. "So all you need to do is spend some time in our border communities to see how much back and forth there is. Families going back and forth on both sides to shop, to see relatives, to visit the dentist."
In another clip from the candidate forum, which was hosted by the Cochise County Democrats, Engel warned her fellow Democrats about not falling "into these traps that the Republicans are trying to get us to fall into in which they are painting the border, as I said, as this out-of-control place with, you know, criminals swarming into our country."
