Flashback: Stunning Video Proves How Schumer Truly Feels About Illegal Aliens
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been at the center of the immigration debate and continually at odds with President Donald Trump’s desire to secure the southern border. What’s interesting is, back in 2009, Schumer admitted that policies like Trump’s are good for the nation.
Our position has been clear from the beginning: Ds & Rs have a months-old agreement in the Senate. $1.6B for border security, NOT a concrete wall or increases in detention beds or ICE agents. We should stick to this agreement. If POTUS interferes, he is responsible for a shutdown

Mr. President, you’re not getting the votes for the wall in the Senate. Take our solution to prevent a shutdown and move on. We have lots of other important issues to tackle now, incl protecting people’s health care and pre-existing condition protections.https://t.co/UoSw4qre7r

Schumer addressed the 6th Annual Immigration Law and Policy Conference at Georgetown University in 2009. In his message, he said a number of things that contradict his current outlook on illegal immigration and border security.
“The first of these seven principles is that illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. When we use phrases like ‘undocumented workers,’ we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose,” Schumer explained.
“People who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens, and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered the United States legally,” Schumer said. “Any immigration solution must recognize that we must do as much as we can to gain operational control of our borders as soon as possible.”
Chuck Schumer in 2009:
-Americans don't like illegal immigration
-"Illegal immigration is wrong"
-People illegally in the U.S. are "illegal aliens," not "undocumented"
-Border fence made the southern border "far more secure…created a significant barrier to illegal immigration" pic.twitter.com/zoVyEgdrTC— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) December 28, 2018
Chuck Schumer just a few years ago was calling illegal aliens "criminals," saying that if someone cared "about America" then they would want "fewer illegal immigrants" pic.twitter.com/jZyohx6lnz
