Sheriff Mark Dannels, who protects the southern border of Arizona, warned about the danger posed by drug cartels and argued Sen. Bernie Sanders’ immigration plan would be a “disaster” for the United States.
“If we don’t have a secure border in this country, we will have a different country. We need to stand united and the plan that Senator Sanders is putting forward is a disaster for this country,” he said, while appearing on “Cavuto Live” Saturday.
Sanders, I-Vt., has proposed a slew of initiatives, which included abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Dannels likened that plan to a state governor getting rid of sheriffs and police chiefs. “It’s no difference at the federal level,” he said.
