Dem Rep. Says He Would Personally Bulldoze “Every Inch” of US-Mexico Border Wall

Just when you thought the Democrats couldn’t get any crazier, a new statement or policy proposal ups the ante. Rep. Filemon Vela (D-TX) is so opposed to President Trump’s border wall that he says he would personally “take a bulldozer to every inch of existing structure on the U.S.-Mexican border.”

Lifezette reports:

During a committee meeting to discuss the Border Security for America Act of 2017, Rep. Filemon Vela (D-Texas) expressed his dissatisfaction with the existing fencing that separates the United States and Mexico along parts of the nearly 2,000-mile border.

“I strongly oppose Trump’s wall,” he said. “In fact, I would take a bulldozer to every inch of existing structure on the U.S.-Mexican border.”

Vela, first elected in 2012 to represent a heavily Latino district that touches the Mexican border, spoke in favor of an amendment to the bill to define the wall. His sarcastic list snatched lines from President Donald Trump’s campaign speech,es including “big and beautiful,” “see through,” “not a fence” and “has openings.”

Probably an illegal himself with fake papers, or the spawn of such.

The Mexican Bund. They don’t have a problem with the status quo: Mexico’s unwanted mestizos flooding our country demanding social services, prison cells overflowing with cholo repeat offenders, narcotics, gangbanger violence and crime and `boomerang’ recidivist Mexican scofflaws.

Democrats-Gun Control Yes, Border Control No.

While the Democrats talk about gun control, I’d like for someone to even suggest that we don’t know what exactly is coming in over the border.

I had to find out where he lives and its at the very bottom the state and right on the border.

from wikipedia: “Vela decided to run in the newly created Texas’s 34th congressional district as a Democrat. In the May 29 primary, Vela ranked first in an 8-candidate field with 40% of the vote.[6]”

went to bestplaces.net. 94% hispanic, population growth UP 85.8%

I see the result of a plan, here, eh? How long have those constituents been citizens? Just wondering.

Amazing to see our politicians more loyal to Mexico than they are to us

What are they supposed to do, support Americans and the Wall, which will END the War on Controlled Substances not available by prescription almost overnight.

Are you going to be the One to give notice to 5 Million Public Employee Union Members that their JOBS have been eliminated just so we could stop Illegal ALiens from leaching of this Country.??

You could hardly find a finer example to characterize democrat attitudes toward taxpayer funded domestic assets.
