Texas congresswoman-elect says southern border has 'never been safer'

An incoming House Democratic lawmaker representing a border area emphasized this week that the U.S.-Mexico border is safe, despite President Trump's repeated calls for heightened security.

“The border is secure. It has never been safer,” said Rep.-elect Veronica Escobar (D), who won election last week to represent Texas' 16th District, encompassing El Paso and surrounding areas.

“It’s time to stop the national obsession with border security," Escobar added during an event hosted by the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

The former El Paso County judge, who won the race to replace Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), argued that "the goal post has kept moving" on border security.

But she maintained that "coming from the border, one of the safest cities in the United States of America, the border is secure and it’s time for us to move on to humane comprehensive immigration reform."
