Ladies and gentlemen, do you support the government funding "the wall" and actively enforcing immigration laws?

In 2006 3 notable Democrats espoused a wall to halt or stem illegal immigration. Obama (then a Senator), Chuck Schumer (then a Senator) and Hillary Clinton (senator too, I believe)and a number of other Democrats were in lock step with this idea. About time the Gov't at least attempted a serious approach to border security. My question is: Why the turn around by these people?

@soar2newhighs Could you please post a source that shows these folks in favor of a sea to sea wall.

Thank you.
You're welcome, but the article I read did not say sea to sea, nor has the current President said sea to sea. You're interested, look it up.@Pherick

They think voting for a bill that included money that can be used for a wall means they supported a 2700 mile wall. Fox News BS @Pherick

@Pherick This is the wall that they voted on...

"Now we got lucky because it was such a little wall, it was such a nothing wall, no, they couldn't get their environmental -- probably a snake was in the way or a toad," Trump said.

This is sourced here..

@soar2newhighs So again this isn't how a debate works. You provided a point, and I asked you to back it up with a source. If you can't what you said is just you spouting lies.

I will help a tiny bit with this one.

In this article, it talks about, not shockingly, how trump's message has changed on this multiple times. Sometimes saying a full border, other times less than 500 miles, while other times saying only 1000.

If you're too lazy to look it up, so be it. I'm not the librarian or gofer for you. Look it up. Lies? You're full of crap. I didn't write the article, get off your ass and look it up. Truth might stun you.@Pherick

@soar2newhighs Sorry not how debate works. Try again.
Well, friend, we went back and forth. I'm not going to argue with you. There are more important things to do...like get in the local gin mill before Happy Hour is over. You have a great night, and hey, there are others out there who'll banter with you.@Pherick

@Pherick I think that you won that one... 🤭

@soar2newhighs Actually we didn't go back and forth, you said something based on an untruth, which you couldn't or wouldn't back up. You were never arguing, you were just whining, and whining about things which are untrue, so thats even weirder.

I love your cute little dig there that you have better things to do, its adorable and totally what someone who was really important would say. 🤣
