Washington, D.C.—Latino Victory Fund called on Democrats in Congress to reject President Trump’s demand for $5 billion in funds for the border wall. Cristóbal J. Alex, Latino Victory Fund president, issued the following statement:
“This is President Trump’s desperate “Hail Mary” attempt to fund his costly border wall, and we’re counting on Democrats in Congress to be the voice of reason,” said Cristóbal J. Alex, Latino Victory Project president. “This past election, the American people made it clear that they are tired of anti-immigrant, xenophobic, fear-based rhetoric and are ready for a government that will focus on the real issues that matter. A 2,000-mile border wall will be a scourge on our democratic values and the American people’s wallets. We call on Democrats in Congress to stay the course and reject this useless piece of legislation.”
