During Tuesday's edition of Erin Burnett OutFront, guest April Ryan went on a rant against the President's much-promised border wall, asserting that "border security is not just about a wall" while concurrently arguing "yes, there's issues of terrorism. Yes, there's issues of drug trafficking and some criminals maybe." While Ryan may have inadvertently outlined the case for a wall, she insisted "it's not just about a wall," citing "an issue of visas that are overstayed."  Eventually, Ryan echoed Nancy Pelosi's characterization of the border wall as "immoral," arguing that "this border wall thing is about controlling the browning of America."  Another guest, President Clinton's former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, also tried to downplay the need for a wall: "Most Americans understand that Donald Trump created this wall business, he created it even with this crisis of immigration, that's his invention," later dismissing the problems with America's immigration system as a "non-crisis."
