Fact Check: Did Democrats Ever Support A Border Wall?

Image credit: Evening Standard

President Donald Trump claimed that Democrats once supported fences and barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border during an Oval Office address on Tuesday evening.

According to congressional records, Trump is correct when he said elected House and Senate Democrats previously supported funding for barriers and fences at the southern border.

The Secure Fence Act of 2006, which authorized the construction of 700 miles of the same style of bollard fence that Trump is building at the border, was supported by 26 Senate Democrats at the time. In the House, 64 Democrats joined 219 Republican lawmakers to fund the border fencing.

Those Democrats in support of funding the bollard border fencing included:

  • Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
  • Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY)
  • Then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL)
  • Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
  • Then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE)
  • Then-Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)

All 54 Senate Democrats, in 2013, voted again to commit funding to secure 700 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border in the Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act — which was authored and introduced by Schumer.

In November 2018, there were close to 52,000 border crossings on the southern border, alone, marking the highest level of illegal immigration in the month of November since 2006.

In light of this evidence, how do you feel about the constant debate brought on by the Democrats to block funding for border wall?

    I feel that the Democrats are simply playing games with the American people and using their so called power to make President Trump look bad. All they’re doing is hurting the country they were voted into office to work FOR and not against. They are also making us look like complete fools around the world, feeding the hatred and racism.

    The Democrats are nothing more than punks and thugs. Look at who they elected in mid-terms and the Witch of the West as Speaker once again. Pelopside thinks she is the President – no she thinks she is more powerful than the president. Eliminate New York and California and you have done the U.S> a favor oh and don’t forget the trash city of Chicago!

    The anti-american regressive direction of the democratic party has been constantly pushing toward socialism ever since lbj assumed the presidency with the murder of jfk.
    A government of the people, by the people, for the people is not associated with the democratic party direction.
    The ideal of, ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country ended among the democratic power bosses when jfk was murdered.
    It is time to wake up America and reclaim our country from the socialist thieves.
    Too much blood has been sacrificed to stand aside and let our constutional republic be taken over by socialist.

    The Democratics are major Hypocrites!. The reality is El Paso is one the safest cities in the USA. Right across the Border is Juarez Mexico one of the most dangerous cities in the World. How can that be? There is a significant barrier, Steel Bollards and sophisticated fence structures separeting Juarez and hte Cartles from El Paso. The Dems are full of Bullpuckey!

    The Democrats are hurting themselves. They are showing how petty they are. They do not care about our country, they only want power.Nancy Pelosi and Schumer are making this a personal vendetta. My husband and I were registered Democrats until they lost there minds and we changed to the smart party.

    In my opinion, the Democrats are deliberately obstructing the need for border security. The fence , wall, or boarder barrier is only a small part of the issue. President Trump has offered the Democrats everything they wanted and when he asked Pelosi if he could then have the funding for the barrier, her answer was a flat out “.NO.” They are refusing to even trying to compromise. Why don’t they go down to the border and talk with the border agents who are on the front line. The mainstream media never even showed the conservations by the border patrol agents. Instead a news piece by Jim Acosta was more important. How much more obvious do the Democrats need to be before people see them for being more concerned for illegals thanAmericans. Just Trump haters and I guess American citizen haters too. They can’t even see that their party it becoming too radical and will be the downfall of America. Talks about Socialism, taking oaths on the Koran instead of the Bible that requires upholding the constitution. We are losing our Democracy and will soon be like Europe. Guess we are too stupid to learn from other countries. God Bless America because we will need His blessing to defeat all the evil and hatred in this country.

    A bunch of crazies, the lot of them. And, I use to lean toward being a Dem myself. I wised up when a real, self-made Billionaire spent his own money to campaign for President of the United States Of America. And, Whooped Hillery’s Arce. Crooked Hillery should be Prison.

    It seems Democrats, depending on age, are suffering from either old-timer’s disease, or CRS (Can’t Remember Sh**). Bet a few of those Democrats either live in gated community, or have a wall or security fence around their home.

    Another case where the democrats are willing to do anything to stop President Trump from doing anything that shows he is looking at making America great once again. There is no doubt the democrats are lying hypocrites. This started with Obama and has continued into the Trump Presidency. Democrats have no intent to help Americans, but rather help every illegal out there. I cannot believe they are willing to spend $200 billion to support illegals but refuse to allocate $5 billion to keep them out of our country. I’m sick and tired of all their BS. BUILD THE WALL!!!!!!!!!!

    Congress needs to stop grandstanding and get on with the people’s business. Are members not in violation of their oath by not Protecting our country. Also
    If not it should be illegal to spend tax moneys by handing it out free to illegals. And what About the millions spent on illegals for Medical care.
    I thought our laws say if you are here
    Illegal you are arrested and sent back
    Where you came from? I don’t see any
    of that going on??? I could go on!!!

    Ms. PelosI
    If as you say a wall to protect our country is immoral then why do you have a wall built around your home in California. You yourself are living a double standard. It’s ok for you to live behind a wall for protection but immoral for the citizens to expect the same.

    I was a registered Democrat all my life until the Democrats started all the nonsense that is going on. All of this needs to stop. My President is doing a great job. All he needs is some that needs and should have been retired. Long ago.it is obvious that their elderly thinking is marred.

    No, caravans are being send by some rich people from east. Maybe Soros, not sure. But, I’ve read he provided money to Hillary Clinton. The Clinton Cartel should also be investigated. When she was SOS, Hillary put together the best CEO informed with the pharmacies works. She got the FDA to approve drugs that were dangerous to senior citizen’s. Pharma pays millions to the FDA in approving deadly drugs. Obama knew about Hilllary’s scheme I believed started to unfold and these are very harmful drugs. Sold to our Senior Citizens. If there are any persons with hearts, please, put a stop making & selling these type drugs. Please, stop giving our life away; stop killing our American’s. I read all this, and most at risk are those over 50 on up. What happened to our Beauiful ways of living in our great country. I only see evil and greedy persons running this once great country. So much hate from the democratic Party I once knew as a child. No more ever.

    The money Trump wants for the border wall is a speck in the ocean . Trump was elected as leader of the nation, not Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer or any one else. Trump should be allowed to do his Job. Give Trump the money and get it over with . It’s Pelosi and Schumer who are totally at fault for this shutdown stall . They took the weekend off from important work to be done . That shows right there their true colors , on how much they care for the good of the nation. They need to be removed from their positions and reprimanded for their foolishness .

    I think the Democrats should quit acting like idiots and follow through with their previous decision on having a fence at the southern border. Whether they like President Trump or not is immaterial. It’s whats best for the American people.

    I think it’s stupid that democrats support illegals more than the protection of American people. Chuck and Nancy should go to the southern border with an honest news station and see just how dangerous it is with another caravan on its way what else will happen. It’s all on the democrats when it does happen Nancy and chuck all the death and rapes Nancy and chuck

    We need a wall and better boarder security! Trumps right! No he’s not perfect but I believe he is trying to make America great again! The Democrats seem to have a lot to hide especially when it comes to the Clintons! Why don’t we let the Democrats live next to the boarder! Then we’ll see how high those fences go!

    We believe President Trump is doing a fantastic job as our Commsnder and Chief. If everyone would get off his back end this bull crap about Russia and everything else that can be manufactured against him. All I know is he has this far done more for our country then any other president I can remember, can you even imagine what he coukd accomplish is our country would stand behind our President as we all should. No this not a duplicate comment from me.

    Trump must pray, ask God to forgive him for all the hypocritical noise he has made during the past several years! I pray for him, however he must get saved and ask the Americans people to forgive him, then step down! I wanted him to succeed, however I believe that he has gone too far!
