    Whatever you think about the morality of erecting border barriers, this is a fair question for Democrats who until very recently voted for and funded the erection of border barriers https://twitter.com/conncarroll/status/1079403225835540480 …

        There's a difference between saying it's not worth paying for more of it and tearing it down.

        If the principle is that physical barriers are now immoral, why wouldn't the correct course be to tear down existing physical barriers?

        A physical barrier only where it makes sense. Why is that so hard for so many to understand?

        The top Democrats offered plenty of money and compromise. It hasn't worked.

        The problem is that there is a lack of trust. Money and promises of enforcement that historically aren’t followed through on are seen as empty. 1986 is the context those promises are made under.

        Of course. Many, if not most, democrats have changed positions on this depending on political pressure. Not to mention their approval for border enforcement depends on the country, whether the US or some other.

        It’s amazing that morality is involved with enforcing the law. We are argue the morality of the law but the enforcement but humans or by concrete is just absurd. 1.6b? 5b? Has anyone challenged either side to review our budget and it’s morality?

        This. If you don’t place the debate in context for how much trust has been destroyed you cannot understand the embrace of a seemingly too wasteful policy that is still better than nothing.

        They voted for erecting border barriers. What they did not vote for was erecting effective border barriers.

        This is an interesting assertion. What do you think of the border security issues with an visually impenetrable barrier and the risks for agents, vs them seeing what is on the other side? Seems a "fence" may be safer....

        Is morality a force of nature like gravity? Is it a social construct that can depend from one society to the next, or even one individual to the next?

        Oh it's fencing now. I guess you can ask the dems why they were stupid in the past or you can continue to ask why anyone wants to do MORE stupid shit. I think the latter question is more useful and productive, and the former question just leads to entrenchment and obfuscation.

        It's a semi-fair, gotcha question. Yes, justification of the votes should be done, but the impetus behind the GOP's push for the wall is clearly racism. (Was it for the Dems? Possibly...)
