Democratic senator calls for border wall construction, exposes rift over Biden policies
Stephen Dinan - The WashTimes - April 21, 2022It’s usually Republicans making pilgrimages to the border wall to register displeasure with President Biden’s immigration policy, but Sen. Maggie Hassan, New Hampshire Democrat, made the trip this month, recording a video in front of the fence and igniting a firestorm within her party.
Ms. Hassan,
who is running for reelection this year, said Border Patrol agents told her they needed three things: more people, more technology and, most controversially, restarting wall construction. As she described it, filling “certain gaps in physical barriers along the border.”
It was a significant breach of party orthodoxy, but Ms. Hassan is far from alone. At least a half-dozen Democratic senators up for reelection this year . . .

The ONLY thing driving these Democrats to do this is their re-election efforts. Every single one of them voted against border security funding last August.
