After two and a half years of having millions of illegal immigrants pour across Americas southern border, the Biden administration finally decided to resume construction of former President Donald Trumps border wall on Thursday. <\/p>\n
The Department of Homeland Securitys announcement that it plans to rebuild a portion of the fortification in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas came as quite a surprise, given that Biden pledged during his presidential run that there would not be another foot of wall constructed [under his] administration. Then again, the Delaware Democrat has never been known as someone who tells the truth. <\/p>\n
Aside from failed presidential candidates like Robert Francis ORourke, very few Democrats have openly criticized Biden for authorizing continued construction of the border wall. Given Democrat politicos knack for conveniently forgetting what side of an issue they held two minutes ago, it seems only fair to remind them and the rest of the country what they had to say about the issue when Trump was president. <\/p>\n
Ahead of the 2019 government shutdown over border security, the then-House speaker didnt mince words when criticizing Trump amid his insistence that Congress fund new wall construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. In fact, Pelosi called the wall an immorality and claimed it is the least effective way to protect the border and the most costly. <\/p>\n
I cant think of any reason why anyone would think its a good idea unless this has something to do with something else, she said. <\/p>\n
The infamous KJP had some choice words for Trumps wall before becoming Bidens White House press secretary. <\/p>\n
Amid the 2020 Covid outbreak, the Leninist girl scout from New York claimed the wall was a xenophobic campaign stunt that falls down in the wind. <\/p>\n
Americas favorite fake Indian referred to Trumps wall as racist during a 2020 CNN town hall and introduced legislation to redirect funds allocated for the project towards the governments Covid response. <\/p>\n
Schumer has repeatedly referred to the border wall as expensive and ineffective. <\/p>\n
The Democrat Minnesota congresswoman who routinely espouses her hatred for Jewish people had something to say about racism in May 2020. <\/p>\n
Much like his fellow socialists in Congress, the Vermont senator called Trumps wall racist and accused the former president of ripping babies from their mothers and instituting a Muslim ban. <\/p>\n
Before she became vice president and Bidens border czar, then Sen. Kamala Harris called Trumps wall wasteful and a vanity project several times throughout the 2019 government shutdown. She additionally referred to it as stupid and useless. <\/p>\n
