Fox News’ Bret Baier asked Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) on Wednesday why he supported funding an $18-billion border wall in 2013 but is opposed to the $5-billion border wall President Trump has asked Congress to fund.
Baier asked Sanders if he thinks Democrats and Republicans can reach a deal to prevent a government shutdown, pointing out that Trump has said he will shut down the government if $5 billion for a border wall isn’t included in the continuing resolution.
“I think border security is enormously important, but I think building a wall is a very costly and inefficient way to do that,” Sanders said. “And I’m not alone. I mean, many experts think that given the kind of technology that we have today, we can protect our southern border without building the wall and spending $5 billion.”
“Yes. And senator, in 2013 you voted for comprehensive immigration that included $18 billion for a wall in border security,” Baier interjected.

For as long as the shutdown lasts Trump must keep hammering the 180 on the part of ALL of the top DemonCreeps.
“Yes. And senator, in 2013 you voted for comprehensive immigration that included $18 billion for a wall in border security,” Baier interjected.

18 billion which would have been quickly diverted to free stuff for illegals.
Could they find a more reprehensible person to interview?Sanders should go hide in his house that Hillary gave him.
He is right a wall is too expensive, I think a good mine field is a much better idea, much cheaper, better results.
Anti-Trumpers have gone totally irrational. What’s next? Will Sanders object to pulling troops out of Syria?
“given the kind of technology that we have today, we can protect our southern border without building the wall and spending $5 billion.”
And do what, Sanders...you socialist slug? Shoot’em all? Lock them all up (including children).
Most of that crap has been tried, and all it accomplishes is more bitching from the far left, media, and the likes of you.
All that technology is great. We can spot them and go get them. And that’s why the liberals want that scenario. Once the illegals are in the country they can stay.
Or maybe take the 10 Billion he rewarded to Mexico and cent America for bus driven caravans of illegal immigrants and build the wall better.
Exactly. The beauty (really) of a comprehensive WALL is that it is a physical barrier preventing illegals from setting foot on US soil. “Technology” that merely allows us to detect border crossings and apprehend illegals AFTER they are on US soil merely perpetuates all of the current problems that the Demoncraps and RINOs have given us: a vast expensive legal morass in which illegals get set loose in the country for years and never ever get deported. Not to mention the vast expenses to our govt, legal system, economy, etc.
Then there are the silly objections based upon all the drug trafficking etc. which occurs at official border crossings: the fact that a WALL is not 100% effective does not mean it is not needed for the vast numbers of crossing it will stop. Yes, we still need better security at official crossings, and by air/sea as smugglers look for other options. The fact that one measure, such as the WALL, is not 100% of the solution is no reason not to make it a key part of the solution. Liberals never seem able to comprehend this (or simply refuse to admit it).
Agreed. But he needs to do it like an adult. At a WH presser, show the video or read from the record or whatever to call attention to Bernie’s earlier comments....then simply ask him to explain why he changed his mind. Then ask the pressholes why THEY’RE not asking Bernie why he changed his mind. Tweeting like a bratty teenage girl won’t solve anything.
Maybe Trump should start talking about all of those shovel ready jobs to be had building the Monument to Legal Immigration.
bttt
Cash for clunkers cost $3 bil.
Thanks lowbridge. There's one old corrupt, do-nothing-hippie, lazy, demagogic party, geriatric white man who is finding out what kind of world he's been supporting. Same goes for Biden. And other than gender, Hitlery (assuming she's not behind the anti-PR campaign, although it's probably the Kenyan's handlers).
Actually 36 billion (double the amount appropriated) would be used for free stuff.

Right.
And with the 24/7 help of talk radio, FBN and OANN.
