Democrats, what's your argument against the wall?

Help me to understand. I mean, essentially you're saying you don't want anything making it more difficult to illegally enter the United States. Would that be fair to say?

And before you say you don't want it because it wont work, let me assure you it will. I was a Border Patrol agent for over 10 years and I've seen what infrastructure can do in thwarting illegal entries. I worked before the fencing went up in 2006-09 and worked after.

Any liberals care to chime in on why you/your party is so vehemently opposed to blocking this wall?

There are only two reasons here why they are against it.

1) Keep democratic votes coming by way of new voters.

2) It is Trump’s idea. If HRC came up with it, they would be all-in.

I’m not a liberal. I’m solidly Republican. I think it’s a huge waste of money. And I’m passed that Trump gets to say a million times that Mexico will pay for it and then threaten to shut down the government if the US taxpayers don’t pay for it.
If you’re a conservative who believes in small government why would you want us to pay for a wall?

They are doing this so the President cant fulfill his promises. I know someone will say that he said Mexico will pay for it, but that is because our elected officials (left) know how to play the game.

This is Schumers shut down!

It's simple, Democrats can't get real Americans to vote for them because they've gone so far off the leftist the deep end. They need the illegal votes to keep their power.

Israel built a wall. They are 99.9% effective.... why do you think the Dems are fighting it tooth and nail?

Liberal arguments

No knowledge that illegal immigrants have raised health care costs

No knowledge that immigrants can come into the country legally

They are selfish and desperate for people to care about them and have no empathy or common sense and way too self absorbed

No knowledge of ms 13

They think it's ok for ms 13 to beat and rape women but not ok for president to have locker room talk

If we are going to debate wasteful spending, border security (including border barriers) are at the bottom of the list. Probably doesn’t even deserve to be on it.

Congratulations to House Republicans for increasing wall funding - very much needed. Do Democrats hate President Trump so much they can’t see the need for more funding for border security? Do they hate President Trump so much they’re unwilling to compromise? Time will tell.

A report out today says 50k illegals came into our country last month alone.

Drugs pouring into the country.

Human trafficking including children.

If you do not have a BOARDER you do not have a Country. PERIOD! 26 Billion for a wall is Pennies. The illegal aliens entering our country cost us Billions per year. The Democrats want illegals for votes only. We can afford not to build a Wall.

Let’s agree that a wall will be effective at preventing people crossing the border. If it is effective at keeping people out, wouldn’t you assume that it’d be equally effective at keeping people in? Why would any American want to empower their gov’t with the ability to prevent them from leaving the country?

And, before you say “that could never happen here”, let me direct you to the IRS website: IRS Can Revoke Passport on Tax Reasons

I’m always amazed at the small gov’t, budget minded “conservatives”.

Judging by the comments on the Go Fund Me threads, I’m more interested in why Republicans are against it.

Have you not seen the illegals all over America? I have seen them in Missouri! They are everywhere in the USA because they get through mostly from Mexico!
