Democrats Who Won’t Build Border Wall Build Border Fence Around US CapitolBy Tristan Justice

After years of opposition to a southern border wall and even a government shutdown to prevent one, congressional Democrats have become fond of physical barriers on their own doorstep as they deprive Americans of the same protection.
On Sunday, the U.S. Capitol Police confirmed that the same perimeter fencing that surrounded the complex months after last year’s Jan. 6 riot would be restored ahead of President Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday.
“Out of an abundance of caution, and in conjunction with the United States Secret Service, a plan has been approved to put up the inner-perimeter fence around the Capitol building for the State of the Union Address,” said Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger in a press release. “I have also requested support from outside law enforcement agencies as well as the National Guard to assist with our security precautions.”

“We’re not doing a wall,” Pelosi reiterated in January of 2019 amid a government shutdown provoked by Democrats’ refusal to include wall funding in appropriations. “A wall is an immorality between countries. It’s an old way of thinking.”
Walls between Washington politicians and their constituents, however, are apparently far more necessary.
