John Kerry Supports, Opposes Border Fence

Sen. John Kerry joined most of his Democratic colleagues last week in voting to build a wall along 370 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border.
But he now says that after the wall is built it should be taken down as soon as possible.
"I voted for it," Kerry acknowledged Friday while speaking to the New England Council breakfast.
But in quotes picked up by the Boston Herald, the Massachusetts Democrat added: "If I were making the long-term decision, I’d announce, you know, hopefully it’s a temporary measure, and we can take it down as soon as we have enough people" to guard the border.
Kerry said beefing up the number of border patrol agents "should be America’s goal, absolutely and positively." He noted that he'd introduced an amendment to the Senate border bill that would add 3,000 new officers.
"But in the temporary," he said, "we’ve got to have a comprehensive approach everywhere," adding that, "in the short term, I think [the wall] can serve us well."

John Kerry,patron saint of the hopelessly confused.The liberals refer to that as "nuanced".
If you ride a motorcycle and crash without a helmet, you too could become "nuanced" under their definition.

...we can take it down as soon as we have enough people to guard the border. Will the Democrats take down that wall/fence outside of the White House when they win the presidency again in some distant future?
Sends the wrong message that we have watch the people's house from afar. < /sarc >

I hope Kerry runs for Prez again. Watching liberals implode is a favorite pastime of mine, now that I've seen the light! :)

I thank God Kerry did not become President. I shudder to think how bad things could really be.

Well if the Aussie in the first post can insult the Goose's

To: Aussie Dasher
Where there is NO FENCE he is for one and if one is put up where there were none, he is against it.
However, where there is a fence presently he is against it's existence, but if it were torn down he would not support that!!
That is what I call KERRYCLEAR thinking!!
