Dems: Wall is 'opposite of what America stands for'
01/25/17 04:54 PM EST
Democrats and Hispanic leaders railed against President Trump's executive orders on immigration Wednesday, labeling the proposals ineffective, wasteful and inhumane.
"The United States is the shining light of freedom, liberty, and prosperity to the world. We welcome all who are willing to work hard to achieve their American dream,” Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) said in a statement.
“A wall is the exact opposite of what America stands for."
Trump signed two executive orders on immigration Wednesday, one calling for immediate construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and increased immigration enforcement, and the other for cooperation between local law enforcement officials and immigration authorities."Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders, gets back its borders," Trump said at the Department of Homeland Security.

The battle over sealing off the United States’ borders may have been reignited by some Republican presidential candidates, but the issue is hardly new. Amid the big promises of building a barrier between the U.S. and other countries, there’s been little mention that we’ve tried this before — and even less about why we stopped.
Wisconsin Governor and 2016 GOP presidential hopeful Scott Walker said over the weekend that he wouldn’t rule out the idea of building a fence between the U.S. and Canada, telling NBC’s Chuck Todd that voters in New Hampshire have “raised some legitimate concerns” about security along the country’s 5,525-mile northern border. “So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at,” he said.

I heard this said yesterday too; maybe on Rush.
What hypocrites they are; they just know open borders means more Democratic votes.
