Hot Air<\/a> posted an article yesterday about some recent comments by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. It seems that walls work in other places, but they don’t work in America when President Trump wants them.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Baier (Bret Baier of Fox News)pressed on this point, asking Hoyer about border barriers that have already been built: \u201cWould you remove those existing barriers because you say they don\u2019t work?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no,\u201d Hoyer replied.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSo they work there?\u201d Baier asked. Hoyer rambled for a bit about people living along the Rio Grande and eventually, Baier asked him again, \u201cSo they work some places.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cObviously they work some places,\u201d Hoyer said as if it hadn\u2019t taken three minutes of concerted effort to get him to admit the obvious.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not only do they work in some places, America has helped finance them in some places.<\/p>\n

Some places in the world where border walls are used for security:<\/p>\n

India and Pakistan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Morocco and Algeria<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel and the West Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cyprus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Northern Ireland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia and Yemen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia and Iraq<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turkey and Syria<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kenya and Somalia<\/strong><\/p>\n

So even some Democrats know that walls work, and the amount of money requested to build a wall is a totally insignificant part of the budget, so what is this about? Do not be fooled. The establishment Republicans do not want the wall any more than the Democrats do. To the Democrats, open borders represent future voters. To the Republicans, open borders represent cheap labor for their corporate sponsors who belong to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. There is also the added aspect of the Washington establishment finally getting a victory over President Trump. The only way Americans are going to ever have a voice in Washington is if they clear out ALL of the establishment politicians in both parties. Term limits might be a really good place to start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
