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.”

Well, go ahead. There are about 700 miles of fence/border already in place.

Pick up a bulldozer and go!

We’ll watch as you’re arrested for destroying federal property and thrown in jail for a few dozen years.

I’d bet more than one beer that he locks the doors to his house tight every time he leaves and every night when he goes to bed.

But he doesn’t want us “locking the doors” to our country.

That’s some big anti-American talk from a little turd. I can’t believe retarded people elect these morons pimping the Mexican invasion of the United States.

Democrat representatives are above the law. This has been proven time and time again.

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

And after he finished bulldozing he would scurry back, on his little cockroach legs, to his wealthy safe neighborhood.

It may be Canada that needs a wall.

That POS Somalian who tried to kill a police officer and a number of civilians in Edmonton, Alberta, turns out to be a border jumper from the US. Apparently he was arrested by American law enforcement in 2011 and entered Canada illegally. This was long before the recent influx of Somalians and Haitians fleeing from Trump’s America.

Now what could possibly go wrong with permitting thousands of people who have reason to believe they will be kicked out of the U.S.? Trudeau’s not to blame for this specific guy, but it highlights the stupidity of his current policies. This is not going to end well for Canadians.

Gee, Dem. Rep Vila, why do you want illegal aliens here so badly?

The rest of us not voting in ways you approve of maybe?

Don’t like the native population of America, so you want to import a new population maybe?

If Demonicrat Rep. Filemon Vela bulldozes any of the wall illegally, he should end up underneath the bulldozer for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

I bet this guy couldn’t figure out how to operate a bulldozer if you gave him the keys and an instruction manual.

Try it. I am sure a lot of locals would perform a citizens’’ arrest and toss your worthless butt in the nearest jail.

Maye a necktie party will save the taxpayers the cost of a trial.
