Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) told Fox News that he thinks the government shutdown should continue “until hell freezes over” if funding doesn’t come through for a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
He also suggested that a wall would somehow be beneficial to nations south of the U.S. border.
Said Gohmert: “And the best thing we could do compassionately for Mexico and Central America is not give them money that ends up in the hands of drug cartels. It’s to secure the border so the drugs quit coming and we don’t lose 70,000 more lives a year and Mexico becomes the top 10 economy because we get out the corruption. That’s compassion.”
