A group of women whose husbands work as Border Patrol officers are inviting Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to come to McAllen, Texas, to see what's taking place at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"We would like to show you around!" Jill Demanski wrote in a Facebook post to Pelosi last Thursday, which marked the 34th day of the government shutdown. "You don't need to bring any security detail. Our husbands/boyfriends/fiances/wives/significant others are actually very good at their jobs, thank goodness! And since you see no threat here, I'm sure you can just make a quick flight down here alone."
"I felt it's really important to have our leaders come here and see what's happening first. It's important to meet with the people who are here on a daily basis, that are witnessing it - the effects of it, that it has on our country," Demanski said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends" on Monday.
"We want them to come here and make an informed decision and to see what's really going on."
"Renea Perez, another wife of a Border Patrol officer, said on the news program that President Trump's long-sought border wall would help immigration officers "do their job more efficiently."
"Perez added that families of Border Patrol officers began feeling like they were "forgotten" amid the shutdown."
"Demanski told Fox News that she'd like Pelosi to do a ride-along with with border agents in order to experience what their day-to-day job is like."
