‘Beto’ O’Rourke Confirms: ‘Yes’ I Want to Tear Down Border Walls
Breitbart ^ | 14 Sep 2019 | Hannah Bleau

Posted on 09/14/2019 8:20:52 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D) confirmed in an interview with Latino USA’s Maria Hinojosa Friday that he is in favor of physically tearing down existing sections of the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. “So Beto I just want to be clear. Have you said you want to tear down the wall?” Hinojosa asked. “If I’m elected, I will tear down that wall. Then suddenly the Democrat is quoting the Republican Ronald Reagan– tear down that wall.”

“Right. So the short answer is yes,” O’Rourke said. “I would include all local stakeholders.”

“There are more than 600 miles of wall and physical barriers now along that 2,000-mile border,” he continued, arguing that they are “not working.”

“In El Paso, we saw crime actually go up after the wall was constructed instead of coming down. It made us less – not more – safe. As an El Pasoan, I, for one, would want to take much of that wall down,” O’Rourke said.

However, the former Texas lawmaker said he would defer to other communities on whether or not they wanted to keep the physical barriers in their cities.

“If there are other places where a physical barrier – from the community’s perspective – is necessary or helpful and it already exists, I would to defer to them,” he said, decrying Democrats for advocating for the construction of physical barriers on the southern border.

“Unfortunately it’s not just Republicans who advocated in voting for building walls here. Democrats voted for the Secure Fence Act that provided the authorization and ultimately the funding to build the walls that we have,” he continued.

‘Beto’ O’Rourke Confirms: ‘Yes’ I want to disarm all us citizens, and then Tear Down Border Walls allowing many violent criminals to pour across our borders and then set up sanctuary cities so that they can’t be prosecuted!’

There- fixed it

Note- My comment is not suggesting that everyone is violent from Mexico- but a large number are violent rapists and murderers-

Pat Paulsen, dead for quite some time now, would be a more viable Democrat candidate than the degenerate examples of late-stage Americans running in the Dem primaries.

Not to wish Little Bobby ill, but it would be fitting that the last he sees, in his life, is the fist of an M-13 gang banger’s fist pounding his miserable face to a pulp.
