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.'

Robert Francis is clearly siding with foreigners over the citizens and the rule of law.

Blockhead Beto has a near fatal case of Commie Rat Disease. The primary sympton of that disease is that his moron motor mouth talks ten times faster than his pea brain can think

If people used the existing legal methods and ports of entry, you wouldn’t have thousands of people die, get raped, assauted by coyotes crossing the desert.

You can’t just show up at the border and expect to get in, that is not how our immigration system works today. They are supposed to apply in their own country, pay their fees, wait their turn, learn the language and comply with the laws.

"The whole system is going to collapse."

That is the plan: “Remould it nearer to the heart’s desire.”

That’s why statutory restrictions are even more important than a wall. He could tear down a wall, but he couldn’t repeal a statute. Too much focus on a wall that can be blown up or torn down.

If we cut off freebies for interlopers we wouldn’t need a wall. Twice the savings!

True, its like bait.
But it will take many years for the word to filter out.

If Beto becomes President, Mexico will build a wall to stop American citizen caravans heading south to Costa Rica and Belize

The scariest part of all of this IMO, is that he almost unseated Ted Cruz.

Why do we keep playing this nitwits game? Stop calling him Beto and call him by his real name, Robert or Bob.

You are worried about the death of 4,000 ILLEGALS, but not Americans who are killed by them or the MILLIONS of babies being MURDERED... OK, I know what side you are on Robert Francis O’Rourke...
