Dem Rep. Says He Would Personally Bulldoze “Every Inch” of US-Mexico Border Wall

Just when you thought the Democrats couldn’t get any crazier, a new statement or policy proposal ups the ante. Rep. Filemon Vela (D-TX) is so opposed to President Trump’s border wall that he says he would personally “take a bulldozer to every inch of existing structure on the U.S.-Mexican border.”

Lifezette reports:

During a committee meeting to discuss the Border Security for America Act of 2017, Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Texas) expressed his dissatisfaction with the existing fencing that separates the United States and Mexico along parts of the nearly 2,000-mile border.

“I strongly oppose Trump’s wall,” he said. “In fact, I would take a bulldozer to every inch of existing structure on the U.S.-Mexican border.”

Vela, first elected in 2012 to represent a heavily Latino district that touches the Mexican border, spoke in favor of an amendment to the bill to define the wall. His sarcastic list snatched lines from President Donald Trump’s campaign speech,es including “big and beautiful,” “see through,” “not a fence” and “has openings.”

ANTI-AMERICAN, PRO-MEXICAN CONGRESSMAN VELA (TEXAS-DEMONIC-RAT) will have to try to get past me over here in San Diego because I'll be damned if I'll allow him to bulldoze any portion of THE WALL in my area!

Don’t let your alligator mouth overload your canary azz.
Have at it and enjoy your stay in jail.

Of course, he’ll say that he meant this figuratively when he’s called out on it.

As with most Mexican-American Democrat politicians in Texas, a goodly chunk of their families are illegals living off the largesse here in the USA.

I don’t think he’d live longer than a couple miles at most.

He obviously doesn’t care about all the weapons that could even more easily get into the US. How can he claim to be against “gun control”? (answer: dems will only talk about one issue at a time in order to avoid the contradictions in their positions on different issues)

Pick up a bulldozer and go!
We’ll watch as you’re arrested for destroying federal property and thrown in jail for a few dozen years.

Forget that.

Anyone attempting to remove or damage the border fence/wall, after 3 warnings, is subject to shoot to kill order regardless of who it is...

Make it a National Security emergency Executive Order.

Moving right along...

We know which side Sr. Vila wanted to win the 1846 War.

The question is, why do we have to call him “one of us” and tolerate him being in our Congress, making laws for us?

There’s such a thing as Treason and Sedition.

And they both apply to people who claim to be on our side, when they really aren’t.

I call BS on this. It would be too much like work, so he’d have his staff do it. Except, of course, the photo op where he would be posed on a bulldozer like he actually knew how to use one.

He is competing to be Mexico’s third most effective member of Congress behind #2, Luis Gutierrez, Puerto Rican representing Chicongo.

Amazing to see our politicians more loyal to Mexico than they are to us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s not all that surprising that Mexican politicians would be more loyal to Mexico. What is surprising are people like Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Rubio, McCain, Graham, Corker, Alexander, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Hatch, Heller and Flake.
