    According to the Democrats, walls are only acceptable if Israel, or an elected person with a (D) next to their name says they are ok.

      I thought Republicans were the more pro-Israel party? I think you’re trying to insult some people, but this just doesn’t make sense

        Being pro-israel, receiving money from AIPAC is bipartisan and evil. I’m not really interested in what party is “the most pro-israel.” I am merely pointing out that the rhetoric condemning trumps border wall, by the current president and other members of the democratic party was obviously bullshit especially considering the Israel has been doing the same for much longer then Trump.

      According to Democrats, border wall construction is a terrible solution to the problem. Maybe in limited circumstances? Can’t say if this is good or not, but my gut says it’s pointless, just like Trump’s wall.

          I don’t want to get into an argument about why an enormous border wall covering our entire southern border that mexico pays for won’t fix our illegal entry problem.

          As to why they built new wall? I have no idea. Maybe Biden realized he was wrong and some wall in some places helps. Maybe there was some bureaucratic reason it got built without him knowing or approving. Edit: read the article again, second reason doesn’t seem likely

          If you want to see democrats losing their minds over this, you won’t. Most people ignore these things from their own side. Others see it but will give him a pass because this likely isn’t an overall shift in strategy towards a giant wall project
