A wall was a great idea until Trump agreed with them..... lmfao.....

IS STEEL MORE more moral than concrete?

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California said last week that she and other Democrats consider a border wall “immoral.” But some of the same Democrats who decry President Donald J. Trump’s proposed concrete wall as a 30-foot-tall human-rights violation actually approved 700 miles of steel barriers under the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (SFA).

Give Pelosi this: She is consistent. She voted against SFA. Maybe, deep down, she wants an America without borders. Perhaps she also has removed the front and back doors of her five homes, the better to welcome everyone. It’s tough to question the hospitality of the woman who said last spring that each member of MS-13 — the barbaric, pro-decapitation street gang — twinkles with “a spark of divinity.”

Meanwhile, these current, former, and then-ascendant Senate Democrats all voted for SFA, which President G.W. Bush signed into law. On Sept. 26, 2006, the Senate passed SFA 80-19, with 26 Democrats voting Yea. Among them:

• Joseph Biden of Delaware (“I voted for the fence related to drugs,” he explained in 2007. “A fence will stop 20 kilos of cocaine coming through that fence.”)

• Sherrod Brown of Ohio (While still in the House, Brown voted Aye Sept. 14.)

• Tom Carper of Delaware

• Hillary Clinton of New York (The Halloween after voting for SFA, she told the Council on Foreign Relations that America should “secure our borders with technology, personnel, physical barriers if necessary in some places.”)

• Dianne Feinstein of California (“Democrats are solidly behind controlling the border, and we support the border fence,” she told the Los Angeles Daily News. “We’ve got to get tough on the border. There’s no question the border is a sieve.”)

• Bill Nelson of Florida

• Barack Obama of Illinois. (“The bill before us certainly will do some good,” Obama argued on the Senate floor. “It will authorize badly needed funding for better fences and better security along our borders, and that should help stem some of the tide of illegal immigration in this country.” He added that SAFE would stymie “immigrants sneaking in through unguarded holes in our border…”

• Chuck Schumer of N.Y.

• Debbie Stabenow of Michigan

• Ron Wyden of Oregon
