Fox News guest: “There is an invasion on our southern border” Brad Blakeman: “There is an invasion on our southern border. And the Democrats are trying to weaponize that word” Written by Media Matters Staff Published 08/14/19 10:56 AM EDT Video file Citation From the August 14 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom BRAD BLAKEMAN (FORMER DEPUTY ASSISTANT TO PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH): Look, we want people to come here, but they need to follow the rules, and they need to come here legally. We have millions, millions here illegally. Democrats have encouraged many more to come here through sanctuary cities. And I believe that any court looking at the new regulations -- or added regulations that the president has added -- there is a rational basis for that. There is an invasion on our southern border. And the Democrats are trying to weaponize that word. But they claim it's a crisis as well.
