Press Release
Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today released the following statement ahead of her visit to the South Texas border this weekend:

"President Trump's immigration executive orders have brought about confusion and fear.  His border wall proposal is unwise, immoral, and very costly.

"I thank Congressman Vicente Gonzalez for his steadfast leadership and invitation.  My visit to the Texas border will allow me to hear directly from faith-based groups, immigrant families, community organizations and businesses negatively impacted by the Trump Administration's reckless and ineffective policies.  I look forward to gaining more insight."
