Bernie Sanders Claims ‘No One Wants’ A Border Wall
Daily Caller ^ | January 6. 2018 | Justin Caruso

Posted on 01/06/2018 6:41:25 PM PST by EdnaMode

Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders claimed Saturday that “no one wants” a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

Sanders tweeted Saturday:

SenSanders I'm not sure why President Trump wants to shut down the government over an $18 billion wall that no one wants, isn't needed and Mexico won't pay for. What the American people want, overwhelmingly, is to provide legal protection and a path toward citizenship for 800,000 Dreamers. 1:18 PM - Jan 6, 2018

The socialist senator did not provide any data to back this claim up. Donald Trump won the 2016 election by promising in part to build a wall, so it’s unclear what Sanders was referring to. (RELATED: Bernie Sanders Releases Odd Video Of Rich Men Asking For More Taxes)

Sanders makes active use of his Twitter account and called the GOP tax cuts “looting” in December. This prompted Donald Trump Jr. to tweet at him, “I’m still trying to figure out how letting Americans keep more of THEIR money is looting… but you know logic and such is long gone with the libs. Also socialists likely shouldn’t talk about looting and history in the same sentence.

I want a big beuuuuuutiful wall with catapults to instantaneously deport anyone caught sneaking in. Just load them in the catapult and sling them back over the fence. Efficient and low cost.

The Wall is important. There needs to be a serious physical barrier between the USA and the failed narco state to our south.

Even more important, however, is ending chain migration from the third world. That poison will end the USA, wall or no wall.

Dacha literally means “given”, something that was given to you by the Soviet government.

Bernie is a relic from the 1960s.

Bernie is a relic of the Mesozoic Age, when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

Earth to Bernie. No one in Mexico wants a border wall. Over half the population of the US does. You are in the US, not Mexico.

Well. If you do not count the Trump voters, I suppose he is right.

This is the Senator who sat on his butt for 30 years and sponsors zero bills, writes no bills and accomplished nothing. His greatest accomplishment was competing against Hillary. who could not win an election as a dog catcher.

And to spin off from the first part of his lunatic statement...

IF the Government gets shut down, announce in advance that it will not be a furlough of non-essential employees, but a temporary layoff.

Non-essential employees can use their PTO (paid time off) until it runs out. After that they can go on leave without pay just like the citizen workers who fund their paychecks get to do during a downturn. If conditions get resolved, they may return to work at their former pay and seniority status.

If not...
Well, bye.

And a high voltage electric fence to zap any illegal daring to cross over. Don’t forget the lasers, motion guided lasers!

Face it, Bernie! America just isn’t good enough for illegal immigrants! It’s time to organize a massive airlift to carry them to a truly compassionate socialist paradise: Venezuela.

Except those who do want a border wall.
