How About That?: College Students Shocked to Hear Hillary, Obama & Schumer Pushed Border Security
https://insider.foxnews.com/2019/01...es-border-wall-surprised-it-was-obama-hillary
Students at American University reacted unfavorably to calls for increased border security to stem the flow of illegal immigrants, expressing shock that prominent Democrats have agreed with the idea in the past.... Campus Reform's Cabot Phillips visited the university's Washington, D.C. campus amid the ongoing border funding battle and partial government shutdown.... He presented students with several quotes that sounded a lot like President Trump's speeches, but actually came from then-Senator Barack Obama, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Hillary Clinton -- including:
“Illegal Immigration is wrong, plain and simple. Until the American people are convinced we will stop future flows of illegal immigration, we will make no progress.” - Schumer, 2009Students described the quotes as “dehumanizing,” “problematic” and “jingoist," with one student dubbing it "hateful speech" and another claiming the comments contained "racial biases."... The were in for a surprise, however, when Phillips informed that prominent Democrats actually made the remarks.
“We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented and unchecked” - Obama, 2005
“I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. And I do think you have to control your borders.” - Clinton, 2015

People both young and old get all their news from their smart phones and computers. The fact that these college students were clueless about this indicates just how thorough a job of censorship is being done by MSN, Google, Facebook and others in Silicon Valley This is becoming critical it is we should do something about it.
Politicians of the Progressive Left have only supported increased border security as part of a huge amnesty give-away “comprehensive package.” They NEVER really supported border security in and of itself, and were always dead set against “border security first,” which was really a GOP reaction to leftist dithering on the matter.
Just think: It was Obama who starved the Border Patrol of resources and who put in all sorts of rules basically telling them to let people in. Sure, he had a lot of “deportations,” but that was a statistical at the border game to make his numbers look good. Remember, he didn’t do squat when the trains of aliens rolled north through Mexico. There is a claim that 693 miles of border wall were built during the Obama administration. That is a lie/falsehood/misstatement of fact. Most of the wall was already there constructed by previous administrations before Bush 43 and Obama. Actually under the Obama administration less than one tenth of that was constructed as new border wall. Whatever happened to the $56 billion alloted for the Secure Fence Act of 2006?
All it does is show how uninformed and frankly why appeal to emotion arguments are failures of the current age of youth.
they were all like MORAL OUTRAGE UGG HATE SPEECH BAD.
ol wait it was liberals that said that.
now their brains doesn't work and we have nothing but stupid
that comes out.

The entire right wing drama over the border "crisis" is emotional garbage.
Stop conflating "border security" with "two thousand mile wall"

Republicans know they lost the argument on the wall, so now they're trying to pretend it's always been about simple "border security."
They're gas lighting the country in exactly the same way as when they pretended that Trump didn't spend a straight year telling us that Mexico would pay for the wall.
Republicans are lying about every square inch of this issue, including that past Presidents supported or argued for a wall, that terrorists are flooding across the US/Mexico border, or that immigrants are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime.
They're all starting to abandon calling the border security issue a "crisis," and have almost completely given up trying to lay blame for the shutdown on Democrats.
Aside from the ACA, I can't think of a single national debate that Republicans lost so perfectly.

Guess you and I are seeing different things. :shrug:

If they knew that the wall was a winning argument, they would be calling it a "wall" and not "border security." The Republican narrative is flailing about and they're grabbing for anything they can hold on to in order to maintain their position.

So when can we expect the Democrats plan for "border security".
Way to much talk going on with nothing happening. Elvis song comes to mind, "A little less conversation, a little more action, please" .
A wall, a fence, sensors, border security. I don't care what word - semantics someone wants to use. Politicians should address the issue of illegal aliens.

Included in the House bill is:
• More than $1.3 billion for new fencing in the Rio Grande Valley and funding to replace secondary fencing in San Diego and other existing pedestrian fencing.
• $366.5 million for border security technology.
• $7.7 million to hire 328 additional U.S. Customs and Border Protection customs officers.
• $224.6 million for "non-intrusive Inspection equipment" at ports of entry.
• $7.08 billion for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Speaking of gas lighting. Every President since at least Clinton supported a barrier. Democrats signed off on the barrier in 2006 and even the same 700 mile extension of the barrier were talking about now in 2013. They can’t even formulate a consistent argument for why they suddenly oppose it. Is there no crisis because there’s been a drastic reduction in illegal immigration since the existing barrier was constructed or is there a crisis because barriers are ineffective?
Oh baloney. The evangelical, hysterical, rabid right wingers do the same odious bull****. "ALL COLLEGES ARE LIBERAL DUMPS!" Yet only colleges in the NE and West have any sort of safe space issues.
Blaming the youth is idiotic. The problem is the current flock of college kid's PARENTS.
Melissa Click, an assistant professor of communications, was captured on video on Nov. 9 trying, with dozens of others allied with the protesters, to prevent photographers from approaching the protesters’ encampment on the flagship campus in Columbia. When a young man making a video recording identified himself as a journalist, she told him to leave, grabbed at his camera and called out, “Hey, who wants to help me get this reporter out of here? I need some muscle over here.”
I've heard them talking about both. Sometimes together, sometimes separately. This has been consistent.
Republicans have been so horribly dishonest about this issue that as a result they get nothing at all. If you want a wall so badly, you can buy this and build it yourself:
View attachment 67247710
Was it a wall they asked for?
Did they claim a foreign country would pay for it? Did they claim immigrants were bringing thousands of terrorists with them? Did they call immigrants diseased and rapists in order to scare us?
If that's all you got as a rebuttal then maybe you should consider a break until a more mature idea forms.
Yes, the entire Democratic caucus in the Senate voted to pass a bill introduced by Schumer in 2013 that would extend the barrier by 700 miles.
The Democrats supported this barrier since it started in 1994. It seems there’s some selective amnesia about that fact. What does it matter why Trump wants it?
