| Fetterman says migration crisis threatens to destroy the American dream |
| 2024-01-21 |
| [MAIL] Democrat Sen. John Fetterman broke with his party, stating that the border crisis is threatening to destroy the American dream as another 300,000 people approached the southern border in hopes of crossing into the U.S. Fetterman voiced his concerns about the ongoing migration crisis and demanded a 'secure border' as he spoke to CNN's The Lead anchor Jake Tapper on Friday. The Democratic senator, 54, from Pennsylvania said, 'I honestly don't understand why it's controversial to say we need a secure border.' 'And [what] I think about immigration is, we want to provide the American Dream for any migrant. However, it seems very difficult when you have 300,000 people showing up, encountered at our border, to achieve that,' he added. His remarks come as the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol documented more than 302,000 attempts to cross the U.S. southern border in December, the highest total for a single month ever recorded in history. |

| #8 Anyone heard from the wife lately? According to Wikipedia, Gisele Fetterman got her green card in 2004, married the future senator in 2008, and became an American citizen in 2009. New York Magazine admiringly reports that she so dislikes Washington, DC that last year she took the kids and moved back to Braddock, PA, where she runs her charities and is a a volunteer firefighter. She apparently rejoins her husband for parties and events. |
