Why should the U.S. build a better wall on the southern border? House Majority Whip Steve Scalise offered a clear and candid rationale during a Fox News appearance this week, telling host Mark Levin that 10 known terrorists are captured each day trying to breach the border. U.S. Customs and Border Protections also informed Congress that 3,029 people were apprehended in one day this month — deeming the occurrence a crisis.
Meanwhile, 21 percent of all potential migrants — an astonishing 158 million people — would like to come live in America if they could, according to a Gallup analysis, which found that the U.S. has remained the No. 1 destination for the last decade.
There is a viable rationale for border improvement. The wall, however, has become a showcase for President Trump's foes, who wrap their opposition in humanitarian concerns — even though they have walls and barriers of every description around their own homes.
Talk radio kingpin Rush Limbaugh points out that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi are part of this group — and appear motivated by political concerns rather than moral calling.
"They could never, ever sign on to and assist in the funding and construction of a wall. You know why? Because walls work. These people that we're talking about put walls around their homes and their estates. They know that walls work, and that's precisely why there isn't going to be one on the southern border, because if there ever is a wall, guess what? We finally will have control over who gets into this country and who doesn't," Mr. Limbaugh told his 14 million listeners.
"The wall is the single greatest obstruction to the future of the Democrat Party. They do not want a wall. They will not support a wall. A wall would bring about the end of the Democrat Party. They'll argue about money, government shutdowns. But they can't survive as a party if that wall is ever built. That's their permanent underclass that would not be permitted to enter the country," he continued.
Yes, it's a political thing.
"No matter what they say, no matter how understanding they appear to be in conversations about border security, they cannot afford there to be a wall. It would bring an immediate end to their primary constituency, which is the great unwashed and permanent underclass," Mr. Limbaugh noted.
"This is what President Trump's up against. Now, Trump wants to build a wall to save America, the culture, and basically to enforce existing federal law. All he wants to do is enforce the law. It's why he wants to enforce the law the Democrats can't permit. As far as they're concerned, Donald Trump is trying to make sure that future Democrats don't get to register to vote."
