Nancy and Chuck know that the majority of Americans actually WANT a secure border but not THEIR constituents in NYC and San Francisco so they'll continue to oppose that without consequence. The reason San Fran Nan doesn't want to have a discussion about the border in front of the Press is that she knows it'll be a losing issue for Democrats that aren't from heavily liberal districts. No different from ObamaCare actually. Voting for that was the beginning of the end for moderate Democrats across the nation.
