O'Rourke wants to Tear Down the Border Walls in Place

Beto O'Rourke, the loser in Texas, wants to tear down the walls we already have to keep out illegal aliens.
From The Hill:
Even if what he says is true and El Paso would support a referendum to tear the wall down, it doesn't belong to El Paso but the United States and it protects the whole country. Maybe he ought to ask for a national referendum on it?
Beto O'Rourke, the loser in Texas, wants to tear down the walls we already have to keep out illegal aliens.
From The Hill:
Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) said Thursday he would "absolutely" take down the border wall in El Paso, Texas, arguing that the structure has not made the city demonstrably safer.
MSNBC host Chris Hayes posed a question from Rep. Dan Crenshaw about whether O'Rourke would get rid of the wall if he could "snap your fingers" and make it happen.
"Yes. Absolutely. I'd take the wall down," O'Rourke said on "All In" during an interview near the border on Thursday.
O'Rourke, who represented El Paso in Congress for three terms, added that he believes city residents would pass a referendum to remove the wall if it were put up for a vote.

Good point at the end. It's hard to believe that such an independent-minded state as Texas would elect such a wuss as O'Rourke.

I don't get it either, Dana, but then the Rio Grande has been colonized by Mexico and THEY like a Hugo Chavez type like Beatit...
