Democrats Cracking on the Wall?

Congressional Democrats are ditching House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s ardent opposition to any barrier or wall along the U.S. border with Mexico, as the partial government shutdown continues and President Donald Trump takes his case directly to the border itself.

““If we have a partial wall, if we have fencing, if we have technology used to keep our border safe, all of that is fine,” Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-IL), the chairwoman of the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), said on CNN.

“Certainly you need barriers and we support barriers,” Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) added.

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) also backed a barrier along the U.S. border with Mexico.

“Some fencing is useful, some barriers are useful,” Merkley said. “There’s a lot of surveillance technology. I’ve been to some cities on the border that have triple fencing and have more personnel and have the technology to see the people moving in the middle of the night.”

I've been to towns on the border where the only thing there is a beat up, shot up sign on a sagging post.

They're lining up their ducks so that they can make a buck off it.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

These people have no defense. They are clueless on facts, and have in the past bantered for what Trump wants now.

They have no clothes, and stand naked to all of us!

As we all knew. Once the welfare and other government programs stop paying. The natives become restless. I hope PRESIDENT TRUMP stays firm. The democrats will cave from FREELOADERS pressure. Their voter base.
