Why Democrats really fear Trump's wall
Washington Times ^ | December 13, 2018 | By Jennifer Harper

Posted on 12/15/2018 10:45:49 AM PST by Jim Robinson

Why should the U.S. build a better wall on the southern border? House Majority Whip Steve Scalise offered a clear and candid rationale during a Fox News appearance this week, telling host Mark Levin that 10 known terrorists are captured each day trying to breach the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protections also informed Congress that 3,029 people were apprehended in one day this month — deeming the occurrence a crisis.

Meanwhile, 21 percent of all potential migrants — an astonishing 158 million people — would like to come live in America if they could, according to a Gallup analysis, which found that the U.S. has remained the No. 1 destination for the last decade.

There is a viable rationale for border improvement. The wall, however, has become a showcase for President Trump’s foes, who wrap their opposition in humanitarian concerns — even though they have walls and barriers of every description around their own homes.

Talk radio kingpin Rush Limbaugh points out that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi are part of this group — and appear motivated by political concerns rather than moral calling.

“They could never, ever sign on to and assist in the funding and construction of a wall. You know why? Because walls work. These people that we’re talking about put walls around their homes and their estates. They know that walls work, and that’s precisely why there isn’t going to be one on the southern border, because if there ever is a wall, guess what? We finally will have control over who gets into this country and who doesn’t,” Mr. Limbaugh told his 14 million

They fear it because it will work and they know it.

To the chuckleheads that say “the answer to a 30 foot wall is a 31 foot ladder” I refer them to Israel and Korea.

One wonders if key D’rats & RINOs are on Drug Cartels’ payroll to insure their free and easy access to the US market.

Money & personal threats can buy a LOT of influence.

Hi.

Democrats liberals progressives marxists have no shame. Therefore, they can’t be hypocrits.

To them double standards are better than no standards at all.

These people must be defeated for the survival of the Republic.

[ Why Democrats really fear Trump’s wall ]

Because there will be less illegal Democrats voting illegally, which will result in fewer Democrat politicians?

Walls work? That's no reason to build one. :^) Thanks JimRob.

Perhaps Trump could pay for the wall by
renting out the Lincoln Bedroom at the WH
taking a tact of B J Clinton.

I am waiting for Chucky Schumer to explain how the Virtual Front Door on his House works so much better than the real one, with a lock, did.

The commie left wants open borders because they need to change the voter demographic in this country. You let in as many illegals as humanly possible, all of those people are Dem voters..give them welfare, food stamps, and health care all on our dime and all the left asks in return is their vote..that simple. They would put these people in Republican states to turn them permanently blue..Georgia, Texas, Florida, all would be blue states, permanent Democrat power forever

Don’t forget the billions in drugs and human trafficking. Cartels and the Deep State enablers don’t want our borders protected.

Nancy wouldn't know morality if it jumped up and bit her! Nancy's husband Paul, does pretty much what President Trump did in civilian life AND she is just as wealthy....why should she be afforded a 747 (?) to transport her home to CA...ever? She is not a queen or Pope, tho she may disagree, she is an elected servant of the people of California...let her state pay for that jet, not a penny from the rest of American citizens.

Nancy's closet cabinet:

The Democrat Party is resolutely anti-American.

Hussein tipped their hand when in Berlin (of all places!) he renounced American by proclaiming himself a “citizen of the world”
