After four years of telling us "walls don't work," house Dems introduce a bill to build a wall..
H.R.339 - To direct the Architect of the Capitol to design and install an appropriate fence around the perimeter of the United States Capitol, including the East Front and the West Front.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-con ... 39?s=1&r=4
The irony...
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

Hopefully this wall is just a temporary solution given the current environment. It would be a shame if the People's House installs a permanent barrier. Otherwise, I hope this bill does not make it out of committee.
I'm here for a good, hearty debate, to agree and disagree respectfully, and commiserate on the current state of terrestrial radio.

Why don't they just wall off ALL of D.C.?? Would end up resembling "Escape from New York" after a few years, but at least it would protect the rest of the country!

Trump's militias pose a far greater threat to security than do Mexican immigrants..
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

The thing is, walls work when you have someone with a gun pointed at the fence. When a fence is out in the middle of nowhere, they kind of don't work as is evidenced by the Mexican congressman sitting on top of this piece of Trump's fence.
It's not ironic as much as sad that we have to defend against Trump supporters.

The walls at the Capitol certainly didn't work well two weeks ago. How dumb to bring this argument now!
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Umm, what walls? There were no walls at or around the Capitol two weeks ago. Unless you are referring to the portable barricades they half assed erected.

Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

DC is a great place to visit. I wouldn't want to be there right now though.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

It was great to visit there in the fall of 96. Just too bad it was for Promise Keepers.
