Beto O'Rourke says he would 'absolutely' tear down Trump's wall, along with 600 miles of existing barriers at the US-Mexico border
Beto O'Rourke denounced President Trump's proposed border wall in an interview Thursday after Congress passed a spending bill allocating $1.4B for it
The former congressman from El Paso said: 'Absolutely, I'd take the wall down'
He asserted that the 600 miles of barriers currently at the border haven't made America safer, but have led to the deaths of 4,000 migrants
'We have walled off their opportunity to legally petition for asylum' O'Rourke said
Beto O'Rourke said that he would take down existing walls and fences along the US-Mexico border if given the opportunity.
The former congressman from El Paso made the declaration in an MSNBC interview Thursday after the House and Senate passed a spending bill allocating $1.4billion for President Donald Trump's proposed border wall.
The White House said Thursday that Trump intends to sign the spending measure but will declare a national emergency 'to ensure we stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at the border'.
After the bill was passed by both chambers, Texas Rep Dan Crenshaw asked O'Rourke on Twitter: 'If you could snap your fingers and make El Paso's border wall disappear, would you?'
O'Rourke responded: 'Absolutely, I'd take the wall down.'

He REALLY wants that Soros money.
Try it, Master Beto. I’d start worrying about your walls.
Would that count as levying war?
So Butthead makes it perfectly clear he supports criminal foreign invasion and supports the drug cartels. No surprise there.
First of all you aren’t gonna get the chance to tear down anything Mr fake Mexican.
When the Hispanic majority in Texas is old enough to vote, they will elect someone like him to the Presidency. In every election. For the rest of our lives.
What a pencil-necked pussy. What is he going to tear it down with, his twiggy arms or buck teeth?
the other Dem clown car candidates will now be forced to up the ante on tearing down even more stuff ... maybe they could announce that they’re gonna tear down ICE and DSH headquarters ...
Drat! Where’s that LIKE button?
We can’t live with these people. Partition the nation and build a wall around their putrid asses.
They want us dead & will take our property.
So he considers Mexican or other citizens higher up than Americans. Fine, just don’t hold office here.
Exactly. That's the plan. Cloward Piven in action.
Beto is a misanthrope of the 1st order. Peter Pan style. Put him in some green tights and send him out on the campaign trail.
There are 48 land=based legal ports of entry along the US/Mexico border, plus more than 300 ports of entry at seaports and airports. I sure don’t understand why people can’t or won’t go to ports of entry. Do you?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I understand. The left wants to have a UN sponsored refugee camp alomng the US Southern border which will house 100,000 Central/South American refugees who want to work for the American dollar. Among them will be Islamofascists and Drug Cartel agents, and MS-13.
What President Trump is doing is in defense of our Sovereignty and way of life.
What are you referring to? Please be specific, not emotional.
Sorry , I responded to you thinking it was another post.
