MORE AND MORE DEMOCRATS COME OUT TO SUPPORT THE WALL Democratic members have increasingly expressed support for a physical barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border over the course of immigration negotiations, making it harder for party leaders to ignore their positions. Prior to the lengthy partial government shutdown, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer seemed to have complete control over the members of his party, even those who had expressed support for the wall during election campaigns. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — then the House minority leader — promised that she would not appropriate a single dollar to the wall, despite Trump’s promise of a shutdown if he did not receive $5.7 billion to build on the border. But a number of rank and file Democrats have since said that they support a physical barrier in concert with other border security measures, perhaps due to pressure from the extended shutdown and a desire to prevent another one. Freshman California Rep. Katie Hill, Washington Rep. Adam Smith, and Illinois Rep. Cheri Bustos have all conceded that fencing in certain areas is something that they are not reflexively opposed to. Virginia Rep. Elaine Luria, along with 30 other members, urged Speaker Pelosi to make a deal with Trump in a letter last week and offered perhaps the most accurate view of Trump’s border proposal by Democrats yet. “He’s not talking about a wall from sea to shining sea,” Luria said. “That is not what we are talking about. We are talking about physical barriers as recommended by experts.” (RELATED: Immigration Experts Explain What An Effective Border Wall Actually Looks Like) New Hampshire Sen. Maggie Hassan told CNN on Monday, “We all pledged to work in good faith to find common ground on border security. That’s what I’m committed to doing, and I think that really starts with making sure we’re listening to the experts on the front lines on this, and that may include strategic fencing in certain places.” https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/29/democrats-open-border-wall-negotiations-pelosi-resists/

Could we have our wall  First thing I have seen is only $1.375 billion. Don't sign it if that's the case.

I think this is proof enough of who the true "deplorables" are, and the Dems are pandering.....actually, desperate for their votes.

Illegal US border crossings swell to 76,000 in FebruaryAt 76,103, the number of people stopped at the border or detained after crossing was up sharply from the roughly 61,000 average for the previous three months, a surprising surge for what is usually a downturn in the coldest month of the year. It was also more than double the number of February 2018 and 3.2 times the number for February 2017, the first full month after President Donald Trump took office promising to take aim at illegal immigration. "We are currently facing a humanitarian and national security crisis along our southwest border," said CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan. "The vast increases in families and children coming across our border, in larger groups and in more remote areas, presents a unique challenge to our operations and facilities, and those of our partners." https://news.yahoo.com/illegal-us-border-crossings-swell-76-000-february-210656494.html

Border Patrol: 300 percent spike in family apprehensions creates 'humanitarian crisis'Apprehensions of migrants along the nation's southern border are the highest in more than a decade, creating what the top U.S. Customs and Border Protection official described Tuesday as a mushrooming crisis that threatens to overwhelm federal authorities. https://news.yahoo.com/border-patrol-300-percent-spike-212437634.html

Right? A country that was never great according to race hustler Eric Holder.

There should be millions of Americans escaping to Mexico and Central America.

I'm a democrat but I'm against illegal immigration. I have no problems with a wall. But that won't stop the worst crime .
El Chapo used elaborate tunnels and warehouses on both sides of the border. A wall won't stop that.

It slows it down a lot though. You will never catch everyone but the vast majority of illegal criminals from Mexico are not Chapo and do not have those resources.

I think the "Build the wall" Trumpers are motivated more by a cultural concern. It's a racist based fear of the "browning" of America. I'm for strong borders, but I don't want the USA to become North Korea or the old DDR ( east Germany). I have no issues with a wall, but I'd like to see a guest worker program like the one G W Bush wanted.

I have no problem with a guest worker program either. Immigration needs to be controlled not a free for all. People forget there were decades in the 1900's where there was almost no immigration at all.
