Dems to Trump: Quit Wall You're Ahead
If liberals wanted to sue over the border wall, they're about 13 years too late. Congress already gave its blessing back in 2006 when it passed the Secure Fence Act. The same goes for the president's decision to move the U.S. embassy in Israel. The House and Senate have been on board since 1995 when they authorized it. If the Left's being honest, its problem isn't that the president is moving forward with the wall. Its problem is that the president is Donald Trump. Back in 2014, the Washington Examiner's Eddie Scarry points out, the media had no problem calling it a "border crisis."
