Why are Dems actually against a wall anyways? I keep flipping to CNN and while they talk talk talk, they really offer no particular reason...well why???


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?

Simple. They are against a wall because Trump is for it.

Because it's an ugly ineffective expensive solution. Walls belong in urban areas where they serve a purpose. Mobile agents and tech belong in the boonies.

Admitting that you have a problem is the first step in addressing it. Congratulations.

Rather than channeling surfing pundit "news" sites, reading always helps.

To start, you can read about why some Texas Republicans don't think the wall is a good idea. This is from people who govern and live in the area.

That's just one of the reasons. They also oppose it because they are pandering to their ethnocentric Hispanic citizen base, other bleeding hearts without a brain and they want more future Democrat voters by making all these illegals citizens of our country.

True. That's why the CA governor is offering free health care to all illegals and Beto wants to tear down the wall.

I have friends that have walls and fences for privacy, not to keep brown people away.
