Cory Booker, the senator from New Jersey who is running for president, intended to appear on CBS’ “Face the Nation” to slam Trump.

Instead, he ended up making the president’s point about the urgent need for stronger protection at our southern border.

NEWS: @CoryBooker said @realDonaldTrump is “trying to pit Americans against each other and make us less safe” by threatening to release undocumented immigrants from the border into sanctuary cities in an exclusive interview with moderator @margbrennan https://t.co/3DqCvXjMaA pic.twitter.com/y2vRStlcPr — Face The Nation (@FaceTheNation) April 14, 2019

Yes, he did just say it makes us “less safe.”

why would that make us less safe https://t.co/DEHxKnT781 — libby watson (@libbycwatson) April 14, 2019

Wait.

Undocumented immigrants make us unsafe now? https://t.co/D9SqZa6ePW — Chad Felix Greene (@chadfelixg) April 14, 2019

Sounds like he wants to build a wall.

Booker: The hard-working families that are noble and benevolent will make us less safe. Sounds like an argument for a wall! https://t.co/mgr96M9B1g — Razor (@hale_razor) April 14, 2019

We’re old enough to remember when Democrats thought illegal immigration was just the awesomest thing ever.

But you guys keep telling us that mass uncontrolled immigration makes cities safer (in addition to raising everyone's wages). How dare you suggest, @CoryBooker, that it might be a problem! Racist! https://t.co/VQlcdDeQ3r — Mark Krikorian (@MarkSKrikorian) April 14, 2019

So "undocumented immigrants" are bad? Wait shouldn't those sanctuary cities flourish like crazy because any and all immigration is just so dang awesome? https://t.co/XItjVp21ue — Regs (@r3gulations) April 14, 2019

Precisely what part makes us less safe? Asking for a party. https://t.co/mOruptX9Sx — eKohnomics (@77cyko) April 14, 2019

On Face The Nation Sen. Cory Booker said having more illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities would make us less safe. TY for destroying your Party's entire argument. https://t.co/tBV7GlqRE5 — Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) April 14, 2019

Illegal immigrants do make America less safe, senator.

Thanks for that inadvertently accurate observation.
