President Trump on Monday challenged House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has called the White House's proposed southern border wall "an immorality," to explain why she is not insisting on the removal of existing physical barriers, or opposing ongoing construction of new wall projects near San Diego, Calif.
Trump, in a follow-up tweet, asserted that the country needs a "powerful Wall" to deter the incoming migrant caravan that marched freely through the Guatemala-Mexico border last Friday, after the gates were left wide open by officials seeking to avoid a confrontation. The caravan, which consists of approximately 1,000 Central American migrants, was among two groups that "broke into Mexico and are headed our way," Trump said.
"If Nancy Pelosi thinks that Walls are 'immoral,' why isn’t she requesting that we take down all of the existing Walls between the U.S. and Mexico, even the new ones just built in San Diego at their very strong urging," Trump tweeted. "Let millions of unchecked 'strangers' just flow into the U.S."
Pelosi did not immediately respond.
Some progressives in Congress, including Democratic Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar, have claimed this month "we know walls don't work." Escobar, signaling she may support removing some barriers, called walls "ugly" and "monuments to division."
On Sunday, Trump charged that Pelosi -- who has not called for destroying existing walls -- "is so petrified of the 'lefties' in her party that she has lost control" and is now behaving "irrationally" as a result.
The San Diego Union-Tribune has reported that physical barriers, including walling and fencing, encompass approximately 46 miles of the city's 60-mile border shared with Mexico. In February, construction is slated to begin on approximately 14 miles of additional secondary walling, with work to begin on 15 miles of replacement wall this summer.

Why not, socialist dems, pass a law making all walls criminal offenses? If walls are immoral, none must be allowed to remain anywhere.
Get a quote for knocking your compounds’ wall down, Nanzi.
Her walled mansion?
Ms P’Lousy should tear down that immoral wall....surrounding her home.
No doubt about it !
Why doesn’t he ask her why she won’t get rid of the immoral fences around her personal properties?
A commie dictator would just tear it down.
Red hot poker in the eye ping.
“crypt keeping”
Hilarious.
Which would play right into his hands...
He really is one of us.
I was pondering the same thing just the other day.
The baggage pictured was ret'd to Pelosi's office, after the cancellation.
A lot of people were traveling with her. Who were they? Staff? Relatives? Friends?
TAXPAYERS DEMAND TO KNOW
<><> did Nanzi misuse govt offices to let non-govt people use her office as an address?
<><> how many of Pelosi’s family were in her travel delegation?
<><> were they perhaps hired as govt temps to work for her?
<><> as a pretext to score a free trip paid for w/ tax dollars?
<><> where is the cancelled trip's manifest?

Shouldn’t Mueller and his mob of Clintoonistas be “investigating” this. I smell Russkis in that luggage.
It makes you wonder how many “sparkling” little illegal alien chillens died on those points at the top of Nancy’s “immoral” wall.
Anyone else think it’s weird that nobody is willing to say where the Speaker of the House is?
Heh....cute.
Make my day. Pelosi would be making a huge political mistake calling for the existing walls and fencing be torn down. CA has benefited the most from the existing physical barriers, especially San Diego. Even the most extreme Dem has not called for removal of all border walls and fences.
Remember the wall at the Democrap convention.
