Americans 'do not want to spend billions of dollars on a wall': Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders
Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders  took aim at President Donald Trumpâs proposal to spend $18 billion over the next decade to extend a border wall with Mexico.
âThe American people  in fact  do not want to spend billions of dollars on a wall which Trump told us would be paid for by the Mexican government  which of course is not going to be paid for byâ Mexico   Sanders  told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on âThis Weekâ Sunday.
Stephanopoulos  noting that Democrats have in the past voted to double the size of existing border fencing with Mexico  asked  Sanders  if  his  party would agree to extending the wall in exchange for protecting young immigrants under DACA  the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
 Sanders  responded  âI don't think there's anybody who disagrees that we need strong border security. If the president wants to work with us to make sure we have strong border security  letâs do that. But the idea of spending some $18 billion on a wall that most people think will not do what he says it will do does not make any sense.â
Stephanopoulos also asked  Sanders  about  his  views of Trumpâs fitness for office in light of allegations in an explosive new book  âFire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.â
âTax breaks for the wealthy  cutting people off of health insurance  ignoring the needs of children  not dealing with the prescription drug crisis in the country that he said he would deal with â  Sanders  said. âI worry about him being a pathological liar. Those are some of the concerns I have.â
