The same wall she mocks Donald Trump about today, she voted for on Sept 20th, 2006. That’s a 700 mile long wall. Why did she vote for it? She said that the ever increasing stream of illegals had to be stopped. In 2006, she said:
“There isn’t any sensible approach except to do what we need to do simultaneously: you know, secure our borders with technology and personnel, physical barriers if necessary in some places.”
So, what has changed? The voters have. The liberal elite and Republican RINOs like Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy want open borders and a fence hinders that. So, in 2006, she was pandering to the anti-illegal alien voters, but in 2016, she is pandering to the illegal aliens and the elitists. Know who else voted for the wall that day? Barack Obama. In fact, democrats favored the measure by a 26-17 count. The bill passed both houses of Congress and George W Bush signed it.
From The Daily Caller:
Ten years later, Clinton has a different mentality towards border fortifications. Now, Clinton denounces Trump’s plan to build a more robust wall along the Mexican border as not merely unwise but perhaps also immoral.
“Imagine a tomorrow where instead of building walls, we’re breaking down barriers,” she has said.
Clinton has defended her prior vote by saying her vote helped to secure the border, but now no further construction is needed because the border has been secured. There is little evidence that is the case, though, as a 2007 amendment gave DHS leeway to substantially weaken the fence so that it was much less effective at blocking crossings. Even now, hundreds of thousands of people illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border each year, a drop from the early 2000s but still an immense number.
