MD Senator Ben Cardin weighed in on Chuck Schumer reversing his offer to Pres Trump to fund the border wall, saying dems are in favor of border security but believes the wall has limited value in keeping our border safe!
O K… First off, we all can agree NO ONE expects a continuous wall to be built from San Diego, CA to Brownsville, TX. There are natural barriers in place that a wall cannot be built or is not necessary, where other forms of surveillance will work. However, there are other areas that are just too long and vast to be monitored where a wall is better suited and welcomed than sending patrols or using surveillance equipment.
That said, does Cardin, or any politician against the wall for that matter, have a fence or wall around his home? Does he have a security system as well as patrol to protect his home and neighbors? Why is it okay for he and others to proect their homes with walls, fences, security systems and guards but not the nation. If they are in favor of an open border, why would they be the first ones to call 911 if someone set up camp in their backyard!? If walls and fences don’t work why do liberals in the Triad (Hollywood, media and political) have them? The word hypocrite strongly comes to mind when opposition speaks out against border.. national security. [To his credit Cardin wasn’t a jerk here but he’s delusional if he thinks walls don’t work.]
Lastly, keep in mind there was a bi-partisan bill passed in 2006 to build the fence, that these monsters in DC conveniently chose not to fund, because they were too busy funneling money to their pet projects. The same fence obama claimed was completed, whining the next thing republicans will want is a moat with alligators!
The call for a barrier of some sort along the border is nothing new, the legislation for it was passed already. Yea, Trump wants a wall, the bill was for fencing, times change but it doesn’t change fact the legislation was passed and Congress failed to do their jobs.
Build the dang wall already.
