While I would absolutely be for more tech minded means of securing the border I also understand that the minute some (cough, democrats) got a chance to cut funding sighting to much expense then security ends immediately. At the very least with a physical barrier it can be defended and security still remains.Purge, I find your lying about the agenda of Democrats, RE: Open Border Party codswallop, to be even more immoral. Do you actually think a coast-to-coast wall will keep out all those ills cited by the Spectator? Do you actually think working smarter on the issue means the proponents of more tech-inspired means means open borders?Face it, DemonRATS HATE their fellow citizens...if they didn6 they would put security and crime reduction, drug use and violence as the immediate goal for ALL AMERICANS!
It is simply injustice to one’s own citizens dressed up as “humanitarianism” — a policy as unjust as parents who, in determining the security of their home, give greater consideration to strangers than their own children. The Pelosi-led Democrats sound like Charles Dickens’s character Mrs. Jellyby, who neglected her own children while fretting over the fate of a tiny tribe in Africa. They reserve their strongest feelings for people whom they have never met. They congratulate themselves on their morality while failing to discharge the moral duties most immediate to them — to their own constituents and countrymen.
But they, of course, suspend that abstract moral code the moment it collides with their personal lives. As President Trump pointed out: “Some have suggested a barrier is immoral. Then why do wealthy politicians build walls, fences, and gates around their homes? They don’t build walls because they hate the people on the outside, but because they love the people on the inside. The only thing that is immoral is that politicians do nothing and continue to allow more innocent people to be so horribly victimized.”
The moral common sense once taken for granted by both parties has become an occasion for insuperable “controversy,” as Democrats complain about the “dysfunction” of government while refusing to fulfill one of its most basic responsibilities. They often slur Republicans for not “believing in government,” even as they abdicate its core function, providing for the security of the people who consent to that government. Pelosi’s casual call for suspending the tradition of the State of the Union address fits with her casual rejection of the traditional understanding of government and makes her party look like its only goal is burning down Trump’s Washington.
