Check Out Which DEMOCRATS Voted For A Wall Along The Southern Border Back In 2006

I know, I know – if you want a wall or a fence or rabid wolves guarding the border between the United States and Mexico, you’re a dirty rotten RAAAAAAACIST who hates all those poor, pitiful DREAMers Mexicans trying to come into America to make a better life for themselves (and take advantage of every freebie the Democrat Party wants to give them, in exchange for their undying loyalty and votes). Yes, leftists. I’ve heard it all over and over. Spare me.

(Maybe Mexicans ought to be demanding that their government does a better job of taking care of their own citizens, rather than pawning them off on us? Just a thought…)

Anyway, Democrats LOVE to talk about how increased border security is just so impossible and borders make people enemies of each other – again, you know the drill. But the funny thing is that, according to this, a fairly prominent Democrats actually voted for a border fence back in 2006, similar to the one that President Trump is proposing –

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.

The 2006 law authorized the construction of 700 miles of fencing along the southern border, as well as additional lights, cameras and sensors to enhance security. Although former President George W. Bush signed the measure into law, the Democrat-controlled Congress that took over a few months later ensured it would never be completed by means of an amendment to a 2008 spending bill.

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.

Soooo… are those Democrats also racists who hate Mexicans? Or are we just supposed to ignore everything Democrats have done before this very second that we’re standing in? I notice that Dems don’t really like it when you bring up their sordid past (slavery, denying women the vote, Jim Crow, segregation, etc.) – always insisting that they’ve “changed” from that version of the Democrat Party.

One thing’s true – the Democrats are still liars and obstructionists. And they’ll do anything to keep hold of their power, and that includes enticing more illegal immigrants into the US for their votes.
