[Daily Caller] "What I’ve seen first hand is the dysfunction and dishonesty of the debate itself," Crenshaw said to Dana Perino on ’The Daily Briefing.’ "For the last few weeks what we’ve seen is the constant rhetoric from the Democrats which say ’we will negotiate this as long as the government’s open.'"The Texas congressman commended President Donald Trump for calling Democrats’ bluff by temporarily re-opening the government and forcing lawmakers to follow through and engage in good faith negotiations.
"Walls work. They work as a mitigating factor from someone moving from point A to point B. They work as a funneling option as well so that we can move resources to where we need," Crenshaw said. "These things work, this is common sense, we all used to agree on it until it got political."
"It’s become a very polarizing political issue instead of a policy issue and everybody’s become an expert on border security," he continued. "The reality is that this plan came from the Department of Homeland Security, this didn’t come from the President Trump campaign, this came from experts."
