Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas) is lashing out at President Donald Trump’s border “crisis” as a “myth” and calling his border wall strategy ancient. Hurd characterized Trump’s wall as a “third-century solution to a 21st-century problem” in an interview with Rolling Stone published Friday. “What I always say is building a wall from sea to shining sea is the most expensive and least effective way to do border security,” Hurd said. All nine representatives who represent border areas in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California oppose the wall, but Hurd is the only Republican. (Only two senators in all of those states — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) — support the wall.)
