Sen. Fetterman Urges Democrats to Address Border Issue

The Pennsylvania senator's call for engagement comes amidst stalled immigration negotiations and rising border encounters.

Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania has reportedly stated that it is not xenophobic to express concern about the border, urging his party to engage in the conversation.
Fetterman has pointed to the nearly 270,000 border encounters reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in September as a cause for concern.
The senator's comments come amidst stalled immigration negotiations that are jeopardizing U.S. aid to Ukraine and Israel.
Fetterman has been a vocal advocate for immigrants and has been outspoken in supporting Israel's right to destroy Hamas.
Despite his progressive stance, Fetterman's comments have been met with resistance from members of his own party.
