Top Democrat Could Support Wall

The House Whip, the third ranking Democrat in the House, is willing to support a border wall if recommended by experts. The Washington Examiner reports:

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn on Wednesday indicated Democrats could be open to new border wall, or at least some kind of border “barrier,” if experts agree that this step is needed to boost border security.

“If the experts say that under the circumstances that this particular port of entry, this needs to be reinforced with certain barriers, then I don’t see us turning our backs on that,” Clyburn, D-S.C., told CNN Wednesday morning after President Trump’s State of the Union address.

Clyburn says that he is not against a border wall, but believes it’s important to listen to the experts and heed their recommendations.

Trump signed a continuing resolution at the end of January that agreed to fund the government for three weeks, until Feb. 15, while funding negotiations continue.

Border Patrol organizations have already express support at a see through barrier, so it looks like the border might be secured after all.

Ahhhh the good old lets delay things while we dig up “experts” ploy, coupled with the ” I am really against this but have to appear I’m for it” routine.
Thats called the Washington two step tiptoe.
How many times have we seen this movie by some in Washington.

I love Trump as I know exactly where he wants to go.
