Alabama Democrat and Senate candidate Doug Jones has officially come out against President Trump’s plan to construct a border wall along the United States-Mexico border.
In a statement to Fox News, Jones slammed Trump’s most prominent immigration initiative, the building of a border wall on the southern border to stem the flow of illegal immigration, Mexican cartel activity, and drug flow into the U.S.
“No, I do not. I think it’s too expensive,” Jones told Fox News when asked if he supported the construction of the border wall.
“I don’t think we need to be spending $20 billion dollars,” Jones continued, blasting the border wall. “I want to put it on healthcare, I want to get tax cuts for the middle class.”
