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 isnt 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.

What he should ask her is “Do you agree that nobody should be able to get into this country without our permission?”.
Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence was among the Pelosi
group going to Afghanistan, Egypt and Brussels. The group planned to obtain critical national security & intelligence
briefings (and meet with NATO commanders to undermine Pres Trump).
Americans are wary of Cong Schiff having critical national security intelligence.
Schiff's past history, handling intel shows Schiff is too cavalier with Americans' safety and security.
======================================
REALITY CHECK Adam Schiff is ranking Democrat member on the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Schiff employed the Pakistani Imran Awan clan as an IT staffer .....who is now suspected of global spying.
Schiff's Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence oversees all or part
of the following executive branch departments and agencies:
Office of the Director of National Intelligence
-Central Intelligence Agency
-Defense Intelligence Agency
-Department of Defense
-Department of Energy
-Department of Homeland Security
-Department of Justice
-Department of State
-Department of Treasury
-Drug Enforcement Administration
-Federal Bureau of Investigation
-National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency -National Reconnaissance Office
-National Security Agency
-Office of Naval Intelligence
-Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency
-United States Army Intelligence and Security Command
-United States Coast Guard Intelligence
-Marine Corps Intelligence Activity
NOTE WELL: At no time did Cong Schiff advise any of these critical intel agencies that data they provided
his office was being tracked by suspected foreign spies, perhaps sold abroad by foreign enemies of the US.
Pres Trump needs to reassess Schiff's access to this intel.
Thank you for the pings and your efforts, Liz.

Pelosi's iron-gated house.
Nancy needs to start by tearing down the walls around her numerous fancy homes.
Judicial watch looked into a 2015 trip that cost about 185K’see post above
Don’t give her any ideas, Mr. President!
I think a Special Counsel endless investigation is in order !
The DEA should search her bags on the CODELS !
Granted there were no crowd surfers, but at nearly every concert I've been to, there was security on the other side of the barrier.
You actually gave me a good chuckle on this. I could just imagine Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi crowd surfing.
