Democrats Opposed To A Wall Is Not, Because They Believe It Doesn't Work, But Because They Know For A Fact That It Does The Democrats' de facto open border ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The real reason the Democrats oppose Trump’s wall, and have been preventing the construction of a physical barrier for many years, is because they know it's the only thing that prevents a de facto open border with Mexico.  You have no doubt seen old videos of Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi supporting the Secure Fence Act of 2006. These videos are used to illustrate Chuck and Nancy’s hypocrisy in now opposing Trump’s wall (which as proposed is really a tall, steel slate fence). The truth is the Democrats were just as opposed to any physical barrier then as they are now. They just dared not admit it to the American people. And while the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (introduced in the House by New York Republican Peter King) passed with many Democrat votes, the Democrats and cheap-labor Republicans made damn sure the bill was never funded. While the bill required at least $50B to construct 700 miles of double-layered fencing, Congress ultimately appropriated less than $2.5B (about 5%)  to actually construct the barrier. The passage of the 2006 Secure Fence Act was never about securing the border, but instead to allow Democrats and cheap-labor Republicans to claim they were securing the border while, in reality, keeping it wide open. The reason the Democrats are intractably opposed to a wall is not, as claimed, because they believe it doesn’t work, but because they know for a fact that it does. While they drone on about “border security” using “virtual walls”, they know all these phrases are just euphemisms for open borders, which is their real objective. https://www.americanthinker.com/images/bucket/2018-09/208945_5_.png The reason the Democrats are intractably opposed to a wall is not, as claimed, because they believe it doesn’t work, but because they know for a fact that it does.
