When Democrats say these things about border security, you know they aren’t serious
The National Sentinel ^ | 1/6/19 | Jon Dougherty

Democratic leaders continue to spar with POTUS Donald Trump and Republicans over funding for the president’s border wall — or fencing, or barriers — without offering any real solutions or alternatives.

They are using language like “smart and effective” when talking about border security techniques and strategies that they do support, while dismissing a wall or any other sort of boundary out of hand as ‘ineffective’ and, well, not smart.

As CNS News reports:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.) went to the Senate floor on December 22—the first day of the ongoing partial government shutdown—to declare that his party had always been for “smart and effective” border security measures and to say that Democrats were ready to make a deal with President Donald Trump to fund the parts of the government that were unfunded as long as the deal included no funding for a border wall.

Since then, Schumer and newly elected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) have stuck by that position.

In their world “smart and effective” means stupid and ineffective in reality.

Don’t think for a minute that more than a handful of the GOP are on our side.

So democrats support armed drones? I mean, what can sensors and drones stop if they only observe?

Technology is great, go for it.

But, the weather and night time limit capability to fly or see.

Walls work anytime night or day, any weather.

Walls don’t work?

Tell that to the Israelis and prisons.

They know Trump is right, but because Trump wants it they don’t. Bottom line like it has been stated the Dems don’t can about the people!!!!! Just wish we could find out who is putting money in their treasury. I hope they can live with themselves.

Seems that I remember nothing but support for sanctuary cities and thwarting the efforts of the federal government.

I don't remember anyone contradicting the MSM stooge's propaganda narrative.

We have to solve this one before we can delve into the problems created by dual-citizenship.

Years ago George Soros told us he and his “gang of billionaires had bought the whole democrat party and some republican members too. He, Soros, funded the mulsims invading Europe and I’ve read he’s and his gang are fundingthe So Americans trying to invade America. He wants a New World Order, and he will rule, of course his “side kicks” will help him rule.

No Trump victory, unless it starts costing me votes.
