What’s behind Dem opposition?

Sun., Jan. 27, 2019

As a veteran I mourn for my country. The House passed a bill sending money for abortion to foreign countries and Nancy Pelosi is requesting more than 20 billion more for foreign aid. Yet the Democratic Party is standing firm on not spending any money for a physical barrier at our southern border. I have spoken to border patrol agents and they tell me that everywhere we have barriers - San Diego, Yuma and El Paso - they work.

It saddens me that while the president wants to protect the country and the people of this country, the Democratic leadership seems to put their hatred of the president above their love of the country or the safety of the American people.

It raises the question in my mind - what is the real reason for not wanting a barrier at the southern border?
