Former Texas Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke said Thursday that he would "absolutely" support tearing down existing barriers along the southern border with Mexico, in a full-throated embrace of open-borders rhetoric that has left conservatives wondering where other potential 2020 Democratic White House hopefuls stand on the issue.
O'Rourke's comments came as the House and Senate passed a compromise spending bill that would partially fund President Trump's proposed border wall, to the tune of $1.4 billion. Trump, who had been pressing for billions more, has vowed to declare a national state of emergency to fund the remainder of the project.
Amid the congressional debate, Texas GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw wrote on Twitter earlier Thursday that he wanted O'Rourke to answer a simple question: "If you could snap your fingers and make El Pasos border wall disappear, would you?" He cited Department of Homeland Security (DHS) figures suggesting that illegal border crossings dropped sharply in El Paso following the construction of a wall there.

Its a good thing that clownBetohas No say in the matter.
They’re still gonna have to pay for it.
I “absolutely” support vile crimes against his family by illegal aliens.
This is your brain on drugs ..
Nobody needs to be. And a billion dollars won't make a man virtuous.
If by they you me we, then yes.
We will pay to build it, and we will pay to remove it.
The drug cartels buy politicians anywhere they can get away with it. I wonder how many they have bought in the United States both Dem and Rep?
The Cartels have a long history of buying off law enforcement on our side of the border. It would be only logical to think they are also buying off local, state and national politicians.

I doubt that Master Beto could fight his way out of a paper bag.
People will vote for this guy????????? And if so...who are these people???????
I guess this means he finally did.
I have to admit that it would be nice, after a long trans-Pacific flight, not to have to go through Customs and Inspection....
I fully agree with both of those sentiments..
What else could possibly explain people the likes of Pelosi and Feinstein..? These are just the first to come to mind, I sure there are many others even worse.. If that's possible..
“I come in peace. I didnt bring artillery. But Im pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you f*** with me, Ill kill you all.
James Mad Dog Mattis”

Okay but Mad Dog Mattis was a globalist don’t you think? Probably a Democrat. Sadly, the people promoted to general over the last 25 years have had to prove their devotion to political correctness, etc
It's the words, not the man. I thought it was an appropriate response to Beto and his fellow traitors.
