why did democrats put up a fence but refuse to secure the rest of the border in the same fashion?

probably cause theyd rather have a wall

Because that fence proved that to "secure" a border actually harms the country, so they recognized the need to stop.

You do realize that any Mexican can just go out to the water and come up that way right? There's no freaking fence in the 1,200 miles of water they can cross. The Dems gave him money to reinforce the fence where needed and to use other more sophisticated defense and surveillence. He is now stomping his feet that he didn't get the excessive $5.7 billion he wanted so he is taking over $8 billion from the military and other emergency funds. And also - the Canadian border is WIDE open and Canada has way more muslims that you idiots are terrified of. Most Mexicans are so Catholic they sometimes go to Church daily and you probably don't even go weekly. You are terrified because the President is an egomaniac and he wants to put his name on a wall. The real wall we need is a cyberwall so Russia stops interfering with our elections. You are worshipping a totalitarian. You are not going to like living the way the Russians under Putin or the North Koreans under Kim Jong-Un have to live in servitude and fear of their leader NOT immigrants working in Dunkin Donuts and digging the ditches in your roads and bussing your tables and cooking your food in restaurants or cleaning the rooms in hotels and houses and nannying peoples' kids. You are BRAINWASHED. There is NO EMERGENCY AT THE BORDER. If there was why didn't Mitch and Paul fix it while they controlled BOTH HOUSES for 2 freaking years? This is now an emergency to distract you from the fact that EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT TRUMP FILLED THE SWAMP WITH is now being indicted. After he told everyone that he had nothing to do with Russia - it now turns out that 16 people in his inner circle very much had things to do with Russia. He owes gazillions of money to Russia because no American banks would loan a 6 time bankrupt, 25 failed business con man money. YOU ARE BRAINWASHED. YOU ARE DUPED. YOU ARE F*CKED LIKE THE REST OF US but yay women are about to lose control of their own bodies and be forced by the government to give birth just like cows and then be condemned and mocked as welfare queens for asking for the $10k/year in child care costs and $7k/year in healthcare costs and $29/week in foodstamps because Mitchy won't raise the federal minimum wage from $7.50/hour because you are living high on life on $15,000/year. How are women making $15k/year supposed to pay $10k/year in childcare so they can work? Meanwhile you just gave $3 TRILLION TO BILLIONAIRES for your $13/week temporary tax break. And now you won't even be able to get into Mexico to get all the jobs that our CEOs have sent there so they can cut American jobs. Wake the f*ck up. They're not going to let you keep your guns when the Military takes over. You're not even going to have bread to eat AND YOU'LL STILL HAVE NO AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE!
