Senator Tim Kaine, in various statements made on Fox and to other news outlets, has articulated his stance on the current situation at the U.S. southern border, emphasizing that it should not be termed an 'invasion' but rather an 'immigration crisis' and a 'national security issue'. Kaine, who is running for re-election in Virginia, expressed concern over the rhetoric used to describe the border situation, linking such language, specifically the "kind of wording that led the deranged guy to go shoot up the Tree of Life synagogue", to violent acts. He has urged President Biden to use executive actions to address the crisis, while also labeling the characterization of illegal immigrants who attacked National Guard members as an 'invasion' as 'irresponsible'. His comments were made during an appearance on @FoxNewsSunday.

Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine is more concerned with words than the millions of unvetted illegals flowing across the open border: "I don't think it is an invasion ... It was that kind of wording that led the deranged guy to go shoot up the Tree of Life synagogue." https://t.co/h6eyLa1SSo
Kaine on Fox on the border. I don't think it's an invasion. It's it's an immigration crisis. It's a national security issue but I think you got to be careful throwing around words like invasion.
