Errr, is this the greatest flip-flop yet? Breaking News: Kamala Harris Used To Think Border Wall Was ‘Un-American.’ Now She Supports It.

[Rawley]

No. Because it makes sense.

It didn't make sense when Trump was President, but makes sense now? LOL Stick with the "strategic" nonsense they've fed you.

 

[Cellblock2429]

Ahh, the freeloader policy...

Wants Roads, Police, Courts, Military...... but doesn't want to pay...

Then he will complain that he has to pay for Schools and Medicaid...

Welll there are people who don't want to pay for the Police and Military...

What is paid for is decided by the democratically elected representatives...
This is Government 101.

/——-/ “Wants Roads, Police, Courts, Military...... but doesn't want to pay..”
Of course your argument is taking an argument to the extremes. No one said we don’t want to pay for services. That’s your hyperbole.
Now what side wants to defund the police? Not us.

 

[Catsnmeters]

It didn't make sense when Trump was President, but makes sense now? LOL Stick with the "strategic" nonsense they've fed you.

So you know she meant Trump's wall across almost the entire border and not strategic sections of wall that Dems have traditionally espoused.

The first border fences built along the U.S.-Mexico border to curb immigration from Mexico began in earnest under Democrats Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. After building fences for decades to stop animals, the federal government shifted its focus when people began migrating in significant numbers from south to north in the 1940s and 1950s.

Two years later, First Lady Pat Nixon established Friendship Park along the border near San Diego where people could celebrate cross-border culture. At the dedication ceremony, Nixon requested that her security detail cut strands of barbed wire there so that she could greet Mexicans across the borderline. “I hope there won’t be a fence too long here,” the Republican famously said. Nixon’s administration never built significant barriers.

The fences were part of what Clinton referred to as a “get tough policy at our borders.” He used steel surplus military landing mats, which the Army Corps of Engineers welded together, to build an allegedly impassable wall. In the middle of Friendship Park, the Immigration and Naturalization Service built three parallel fences. Multiple fences, they argued, would allow agents to catch fence-jumpers in between them. Clinton’s barriers to humans went up alongside NAFTA, which opened the border to material goods, once again making the border more of a sieve than a seal.

In 2006, Bush signed the Secure Fence Act, authorizing 700 miles of double-layered, reinforced fencing. When he left office, he had completed more than 500 miles. Barack Obama continued the work, building 130 more miles of fencing. He also famously funded the Border Patrol and deported more people than any president before him.


Although Donald Trump championed building his wall, his administration only built about 85 miles of new fences. Biden will now add 20 more.

Biden's Border Wall is a Bipartisan Tradition

Biden continues a tradition of building fences at the US-Mexico border that long precedes Donald Trump

Let me try this again, Biden DID NOT want to build ANY additional border wall!

"When asked about the news on Oct. 5 that new border wall construction would indeed commence under his administration, Biden told reporters: “The border wall — the money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get to them to reappropriate it, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t. And in the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated. I can’t stop that.”

“Yes, the President’s hands are tied,” Gabe Murphy, policy analyst at the budget watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense, told us when we asked about Biden’s claim. He pointed us to an appropriations bill that was signed into law on Dec. 20, 2019, during the Trump administration, that “explicitly appropriated funding ‘for the construction of a barrier system along the southwest border.'”

Biden asked Congress to reprogram the money, but it didn’t agree to that. “So, the money needs to go out the door,” Murphy said. Under the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, “an administration can’t substitute its own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law.”

Utter Bullshit...

She has always supported the Bi Partisan Deal on immigration... This is the one Trump undermined.

She doesn't agree with everything in it but it is bipartisan...

So you want to make out the Harris willingness to work with others for solutions is a bad thing????

She has always been against constructing a border wall.

He didn't want to keep building Trump's wall across nearly the entire border.

He supports strategic sections of border wall that were proposed in the bill Biden espoused but private citizen Trump told his lackeys to reject.

How come Trump doesn't want strategic sections of border wall?

Until she wants votes. Transparent if ever there was transparency

 

[Foxfyre]

Yep, they KNOW they are way behind in the polls or else she wouldn't change on this issue. First it was no tax on tips and now a border wall? Voters won't buy this, especially based on her past comments on the wall and her role dealing with the border.

The only walls she has supported is Walz as her running mate.

Vice President Kamala Harris has reversed her position on spending hundreds of millions of dollars to build a wall along the southern border, Axios reported Tuesday.

Harris is now in favor of building a wall after being attacked repeatedly by former President Donald Trump for presiding over an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration to the U.S. as the Biden administration’s unofficial “border czar,” according to Axios. Prior to her second run for the presidency, Harris had called the border wall “un-American,” a “stupid waste of money” and Trump’s “medieval vanity project.”

Harris now backs the bipartisan border bill proposed in February, which would require hundreds of millions of unspent public dollars to be spent on further construction of a border wall, according to Axios. The office of Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, one of the lawmakers who negotiated the bill, projected that the bill would spend $650 million on wall construction, a far cry from the $18 billion that Trump wanted for the border wall in 2018.

Trump might want to rethink his no crib notes requirement for a debate. He might agree to Kamala wanting to bring notes on condition he can bring videos. He needs to show the umpteen jillion times she excoriated and blasted him re a wall among other things she has now flipflopped on.

Does this sound like someone who was in favor of any new border wall construction?

Biden in 2019: The Fact​

A video clipping of Biden speaking at a debate prior to general elections in 2019 clearly shows him say, 'Surge the borders.' "I would in fact make sure that there is immediately a surge to the border. They deserve to be heard. That's who we are. "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come,'" Biden had told during a debate moderated by Univision's Jorge Ramos in 2019.

She didn't flip flop.

Democrats traditionally support strategic sections of wall.

If anything, Trump flip flopped. He went from wanting a wall across almost the entire border to ordering his lackeys in Congress the kill the border deal that would have funded strategic sections of wall.

Here's your gold medal Kamalla!

Must be election season. "TRY TO LOOK HUMAN for 70 more days for fuck's sake!!!!" is the DNC directive.

Correction:

Try not to look stupid. for 70 more days.........

It ain't workin'

 

[HikerGuy83]

She didn't flip flop.

Maybe democrats do, but she has been very very very clear on her position that the wall "will never be built".

It sounds like someone who wants people seeking asylum to apply for the same...which has nothing to do with wanting to build strategic sections of wall but Trump tanked it.

It does not make it any less a lie.

Yep. Trump's wall across nearly the entire border.

 

[Care4all]

^^^Border wall supporter.

One continuous 2000 mile border wall across the entire Mexico and US border over desserts and mountain peaks as Trump promoted and campaigned on.....No! (A waste of effort and MONEY, that we as a Nation, do not have)

I supported all the different measures and funding in the Senate Immigration bill...and still do. That bill covered a comprehensive plan that included every aspect of the border and immigration....not just a wall, building walls in key areas, funding more border security and port of legal entries guards, increasing immigration courts to deal with backlogs, building more detention centers, quotas, illegals vs asylum seeker rule tightening, and a whole bunch of things that touch and address our border crisis in a thorough manner.

 

[HikerGuy83]

It's the narrative and bias that was nonsense.

Suck on it.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Yep. Trump's wall across nearly the entire border.

She never differentiated. Because she probably has no clue.

Of course, she's been on media and out front in interviews explaining all this to people who might like to know what she is really thinking.....NOT.

Oh bullshit!! You are making yourself look like an idiot here!! I'm embarrassed for you!

“Let me be very clear: I'm not going to vote for a wall under any circumstances,”
What does 'UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES' mean to you?!!!

Kamala Harris: I Won’t Vote for a Wall ‘Under Any Circumstances’

The Democratic presidential contender described Trump’s push for a wall as a “medieval vanity project.”
