Minority leader Nancy Pelosi told supporters in El Paso, Texas, a border city on the US-Mexico divide, that Democrats give “leverage” to illegals.

And, of course, she conflates legal immigration with illegal immigration.

Nancy Pelosi: I don’t want to be political here… And so because this is the right thing to do, I have confidence that we will get where we need to go. But everything is about time and we want to shorten the distance as your question indicated between what we think is inevitable for America. They think is inconceivable but we believe that we can get this done. We are not going to be able to get it done under the Republican leadership in Congress. We believe that we will have leverage when we win in November. And why is that important? Because it gives leverage to every family, to every mom who courageously brought her child across the desert to escape, to escape death, rape, gang violence and the rest. Because it gives hope, because of the leverage it gives to families who may have followed dad home for a family funeral and now can’t come into the country. As all of those injustices have to be corrected. There’s a path and that path is greatly brightened by the knowledge that is in this community who sees first hand simple solutions which make a big difference in people’s lives. And so we’re getting ready for this and it’s only to come back to a place that honors our values, recognizes the importance of immigration to the success of America.
