Last week we saw 2020 Democrats on the debate state, specifically Julian Castro, actually call for repealing US statutes that make it illegal to cross the border.
But even Obama’s former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson couldn’t get on board with that:
“That is tantamount to declaring publicly that we have open borders,” Jeh Johnson told the Washington Post. “That is unworkable, unwise and does not have the support of a majority of American people or the Congress, and if we had such a policy, instead of 100,000 apprehensions a month, it will be multiples of that.”
Never in my wildest dreams did I think Obama’s DHS Secretary would be speaking out against the lunacy of 2020 Democrats. But it just goes to show you how far left they have gone.
Just the other day, Jeh Johnson dropped another uncomfortable truth for Democrats to hear…

“Chain link barriers, partitions, fences, cages, whatever you want to call them, were not invented on January 20, 2017, okay?” Jeh Johnson said at the Aspen Ideas Festival last week.
“But during that 72-hour period, when you have something that is a multiple — like four times — of what you’re accustomed to in the existing infrastructure, you’ve got to find places quickly to put kids. You can’t just dump 7-year-old kids on the streets of McAllen or El Paso,” he continued. “And so these facilities were erected … they put those chain link partitions up so you could segregate young women from young men, kids from adults, until they were either released or transferred to HHS.”
I’m quite sure that Jeh Johnson isn’t a Trump fan, but the fact that he is forced to defend Trump like this is amazing.
