Kari Lake Predicts Texas Will Follow Arizona in Repelling Border Invasion
by Katy Drollinger
This week, Arizona’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake sat down for an interview with Texas Scorecard on The Headline to discuss her plans for addressing the ongoing border crisis.
“It’s a great policy. I think it’s the most aggressive policy that the country’s ever seen,” said Lake. “We are being invaded at our border. Our federal government is supposed to protect us from such a thing, but Joe Biden pulled back a great policy that President Trump had put in place … and left us exposed to a criminal element and an invasion.”
