Dems’ vision clouded on border wall issue

The irrational hatred of Donald Trump exhibited by Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Democrats in Congress is clouding their vision and causing the government shutdown.

Several years ago under the Obama Administration, Pelosi and Schumer both voiced their support of a barrier at the border and condemned illegal immigration as a crime. Now they say that a wall is immoral. If that is so, why does Pelosi have a wall surrounding her home? If she truly believes this, then I suggest that she have that wall torn down. She should allow anyone who chooses to do so to swim in her pool, have a picnic on her lawn, raid her refrigerator, lounge in her living room, and maybe take a nice leisurely bath in her tub. After all, this is what she is doing with regard to our border by not funding the wall. It’s an open invitation for anyone to come in and avail themselves of all our freedoms illegally.

I find it very interesting that Pelosi’s foiled trip to Afghanistan, Egypt and Belgium was to discuss national security when she is not concerned about it at our southern border and won’t travel across town to discuss it with the president.
