The dems want open border just for that very reason. So they can be in Power. The dems do not give one s&^% about public safety or health or welfare.

Open borders for criminal illegals to enter our country and the killing of unborn babies! --- The Democratic way!

Hard to have a factual and productive debate with nonsense like this slung around ^!

Does Pelosi not realize her state has the most complete boarder wall of all the states? Texas has basically nothing and others merely vehicle barriers that one can walk across, literally. California in comparison is maximum security. So is this a case I have my fence but you can't have yours? I have my safety but you can't have yours? Do as I say not as I do?


I mean I'm just a Trumper with but wee monkey brain, help me understand. Its like building a fence around your yard then proposing a law to the community planning board no new fences. So while your children are safe playing mine are not? "Well we now view fences as immoral but since ours is already built, hehe, oh well... And let me tell you it doesn't work at all...hehe" Is that it?
The budget package allocates funding for border security. There is already border fencing and barriers along the border. Please do try and keep up.

You can't be this stupid.

We need a wall plus added, added security on top of that.

Even the CBP knows it's not that simple.

You're ignorant (and childishly insulting). And I'm not stupid. We need walls in urban, high crossing areas and we need mobile patrols and tech in the boonies. I'm all for upping both and I'm not in favor of illegal immigration.

I'm curious what part of the country you live in? I live here and I know the border and the geography it runs through. I suspect you know what Rush and Anne tell you and take it verbatim. They're wrong.

Why do you need a wall but the Texas border sheriffs don`t?

You realize that Texas has a giant river as its entire international border, right?

That strawman is a useless argument. I don't bring you into my home either....

You aren't driving vehicles across it. And anyways, you can't wall off the river because it would cut off water access for ranchers on the border, and wildlife that drinks from it
