Walls, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insists, are “immoral.” The Democratic Leader of the Senate, New York Senator Chuck Schumer, opposes a wall. Democratic Congressman Hakeem Jeffries insists that a border wall would be “ineffective” and is a “fifth-century solution to a 21st-century problem.” And on and on go Democrats about their refusal to fund a wall along the southern border.
But wait.
When it comes to having walls and steel barriers to protect — themselves? Well, see for yourself.
This week I took a trip to Capitol Hill, cell phone camera in hand, to see for myself just exactly what is the reality of “border security” when it comes to protecting Speaker Pelosi, Senator Schumer, and Congressman Jeffries, not to mention all of their colleagues and staff in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
As someone who spent time in my early professional life working both in the House and Senate, let me layout the physical landmarks of Capitol Hill for those unfamiliar with the turf.
First and most prominently, of course, is the U.S. Capitol building itself. Then, across Independence Avenue there are three House office buildings, each named for a former Speaker of the House — Cannon the oldest, next is Longworth, and last is Rayburn. On the Senate side, running along Constitution Avenue, are the three Senate office buildings, all named for prominent senators. The oldest is the Russell Building, next is Dirksen, and last is the newest, the Hart Building. In all cases, there are side streets that separate the buildings from one another, streets that extend well beyond the buildings they separate for a block each.

No wall, how worshipers and machine gun nests?
Do as I say and not as I do coming from these elitists in DC.
I did and thank you for posting.
Until they start leaving their abodes unlocked and unguarded 24/7/365, they can STFU. They have NO argument until that happens.
My son, an FBI special agent assigned to headquarters, took me on a tour of the White House and the Capitol complex last October. There are barricades everywhere along with armed guys who will happily shoot you if you decide to create trouble.
Why are they not condemning mexico’ wall on their southern border?
Why are they not condemning the walls around their own mansions? And their evil armed boyguards?
Curiosity question, has President Trump not heard the chants of ‘Build that Wall’ during his campaign, and at rallies after?
Or seen recent polls?
A reminder wouldn’t hurt - let him know we still stand with him for border wall and protection of citizens.
