It's also really not accurate at all to suggest that Democrats are against border security. They believe there are better ways than a wall to do it, and don't spend their time vilifying immigrants.
Back when they for reasonable border control, yeah. Obama as well. Never agreed with a wall or barrier like they did though. Yesterday border protection was common sense today its considered white supremacists, Nazi, terrorism by some people who have hate agendas.
I disagree with their flip flopping. As I pointed out they voted for a barrier at one point and now they use the barrier as some crazy anti-Trump narrative.
You're still doing it. A wall =//= some fencing as part of a secure border. You'll note that Democrats aren't clamoring to tear down every bit of fence currently on the border.
I see no difference between a fence and a wall. Both are meant to keep people out. Today we hear how immoral that is.
I'm OK with fencing yes. There are places where fencing is useful, near port of entries for example. The problem with the wall as Donald has proposed it is that it would be a continuous barrier covering the entire border. This raises ecological concerns, financial concerns, as well as concerns about private property rights along the border. It's also just a bad look to have an impenetrable wall separating us from the rest of the continent purely from a symbolic point of view.
I personally don't care much about a barrier as stated but I do find the financial discussion pretty stupid. Billion upon billions are spent on enforcing border security alone. We waste money all over the place as well and I hear crickets.
This is a good point and one I considered adding to my post.
Lol that's being pretty damn petty to me. A wall, fence, string line, whatever is meant to stop or deter people from coming in, plain and simple. They weren't voting to put up a fence as a welcoming fence. The concept of a wall is no different, stop illegals from entering the country.
