VP Pence: Mexico Did More to Secure the Border in Last 10 Days Than Dems Have Done in Last 10 Years

(CNSNews.com) – During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union with Jake Tapper,” Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday that Mexico has done more to secure the border in the past two weeks than Democrats in Congress have done in the last 10 years. 

“The truth is, in the last 10 days, Mexico has done more to secure our southern border than Democrats in Congress have done in the last 10 years, and that has to change,” he said, pointing specifically to Mexico’s agreement to have “100 percent of asylum seekers from Central America remain in Mexico.” 

Pence said that “90-plus percent of the people that apply for asylum in this country are denied.” 

“They actually don't have a claim for asylum,” he said.
