Who would have thought we have so many Dems to thank so that Trump can go ahead with that big beautiful wall down Mexico way. These are the folks who voted “aye” in 2006 and still had some common sense.
President Donald Trump will be able to order the construction of a wall on the Mexico border Wednesday with the stroke of a pen, because of a 2006 law passed with the help of Democrats including Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
If Trump and Republicans follow through, a number of top Democrats will find they inadvertently handed Trump the border wall they now oppose. Their only option to block the construction would be to shut down the government over the matter by blocking the spending bill, a strategy they have consistently mocked and derided Republicans for using in the past.
In addition to then Sens. Obama, Biden and Clinton, 64 House Democrats and 23 Senate Democrats voted for the wall in 2006. Many of them are still in Congress, including newly-established Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
Other Democrats in the Senate who voted for the wall in 2006 are Sens. Barbara Boxer (CA), Sherrod Brown (OH — then in the House), Tom Carper (DE), Dianne Feinstein (CA), Barbara Mikulski (MD), Bill Nelson (FL), Debbie Stabenow (MI), and Ron Wyden (OR).
There are also a number of Democrat representatives still in the House who voted for the bill: Sanford Bishop (GA), Corrine Brown (FL), Michael Capuano (MA), Jim Cooper (TN), Jim Costa (CA), Peter DeFazio (OR), Steve Israel (NY), Ron Kind (WI), Daniel Lipinski (IL), Stephen Lynch (MA), Carolyn Maloney (NY), Bill Pascrell Jr. (NJ), Collin Peterson (MN), C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (MD), Tim Ryan (OH), and Adam Smith (WA).
Former Democrat Rep. Barney Frank and now-disgraced former Democrat Rep. Anthony Weiner also voted for the bill. Read more: Libertarian Republic

I’m amazed that Corrine Brown (FL) voted for the wall in 2006? That woman is so worthless many times I wanted to slam her against the wall to see if she’d stick. *cough* *wink* Well, will wonders never cease.
We need a ‘wall’, more border agents and equipment, and more lengthy vetting before allowing immigrants into our country. Plus, it needs to be legal again for the LEO’s to enforce that law as well. Many eyes would make added security.
And as Just Simply Linda just stated, FOX reported that the money that was set aside for the wall is missing. It’s either been used for the multiple vacations taken by O’blamer and Mooch or is in their back account under yet another of his assumed names or is one of their croonys pockets. Betchya.

The long knives are out as the wacko liberals protest a multi-billion wall aimed to keep out illegals who are costing we the taxpayers hundreds of billions, the drugs and the cartels drug gangs like MS 13 which by the way has exclusivity for selling drugs in America’s high schools-disgusting’, the deportees reentering time after time seemingly unencumbered by whatever is or is not being done to prevent their doing so, stop the billions in cash being sent out of the country by the employed illegals. Hopefully President Trump will tackle the anchor baby issue which we hear nothing about these past eight years. If joy we could bile a wall around the liberal self hating idiots along with their politician enablers.

Coincidentally these last eight years Jim Reeve’s “He’ll Have To Go” echoed in my head. And now that lardass – the white one Hillary rather than the black one Mooch- lost the election I think of Faran Young’s “Hello Walls.”
