Wall Brawl


I’m watching the orange one talking about the Southern Border Wall. 
There’s so much nonsense being talked on the Wall and immigration. 
The Democrats paint the GOP as “anti immigrant”. It is not. Republicans have traditionally supported immigration. What they’re against is illegal immigration. 
And it’s easy to find videos of past Democratic presidents supporting strong borders to deter illegal immigration. Clinton, Obama and Hillary have all talked tough in the very same terms as Trump now is. As have Pelosi and Schumer. The only reason they’re now against a Wall is because it’s Trump. Trump himself has just pointed that out in his speech. 
Mind you: there’s valid doubts about the efficacy of a wall. But it’s also true that those tasked with controlling the border — ICE agents and border patrols — say it would help. And the amount being asked for is a tiny amount of the total budget — about 11 minutes worth of spending. 
So Democrats in government — get in to your congress people and tell th to give up their virtue-signalling hypocrisy. 
Speech just finished. Pretty good. Serious and didn’t stray from the Tel-e promoter. 
Now it’s Pelosi and Chuck. 
She’s a toughie and a hypocrite.  Chuck is a softie and  a hypocrite. Chuck is saying that democrats support border security. Oh really? How? 
By the way, never before, AFAIK, have the networks allowed the opposite party to have a response to a presidential statement.
