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.'

But what if a judge stops the destruction with a powerful ruling ! Would tearing down the wall make you legally responsible for death and disease caused by uncontrolled migration ?

It has been a sane tradition to act upon the interests of our citizens first, in wartime or overseas incidents. Now we have this Beto who would rather harm all our citizens by being overrrun with illegals in order to protect said illegals trying to get in.

Marxist professors and strategists Cloward and Piven wrote about this as far back as the 60’s. The Democratic Socialists of America follow their playbook, just as the New Left follow Saul Alinsky (including Hillary and Obama, but with heavy Communist Party USA influences too).

We have to keep exposing the Left’s communist origins and plans, both on a national level as well as local level.

Some good websites to go to for information on individuals and organizations are www.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org.

'Here’s what we know: after the Secure Fence Act, we have built 600 miles of wall and fencing on a 2,000 mile border. What that has done is not in any demonstrable way made us safer

Here’s what we know: there are 20 holes in the hull of our ship (of state). We've plugged six of them. We are still sinking, so obviously our efforts are worthless.

How is it possible to stop that?

Cartel locations are NOT hidden.
Sometimes a 'message' sent is actually listened to.

Preferably in the dark, where INS can't quite make out their faces from the photos).

Night vision goggles work on video cameras; too.
