The LIAR and HYPOCRITE is YOU. None of those you mentioned ever said "MEXICO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL" to gullible DUMBASSES like you. And since he got elected by saying that BS to his trumptard suckers like you, then if he WANTS a WALL, he should get MEXICO TO PAY FOR IT!!!! Nothing else matters.

"Remember When Chuck Schumer And These Top Democrats Voted To Build A Border Wall"
No, comrade, and neither does anybody else. They voted for a fence. That's why it's called "The Secure Fence Act".

Secure Fence Act of 2006
"Authorizes the construction of hundreds of miles of additional fencing along our Southern border; Authorizes more vehicle barriers, checkpoints, and lighting to help prevent people from entering our country illegally; Authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to increase the use of advanced technology like cameras, satellites, and unmanned aerial vehicles to reinforce our infrastructure at the border." [1]

In 2006, at the time it was passed, George W. Bush's White House touted the fence as "an important step toward immigration reform." [1] The White House Office of the Press Secretary stated that the Act "Authorizes the construction of hundreds of miles of additional fencing along our Southern border; Authorizes more vehicle barriers, checkpoints, and lighting to help prevent people from entering our country illegally; Authorizes the Department of Homeland Security to increase the use of advanced technology like cameras, satellites, and unmanned aerial vehicles to reinforce our infrastructure at the border." [1]

2007 amendmentThe original 2006 act provided for "at least two layers of reinforced fencing" to be built. However, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) successfully argued to Congress "that different border terrains required different types of fencing, that a one-size-fits-all approach across the entire border didn't make sense." [6] An amendment introduced by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican of Texas, was passed, amending the law to read: "nothing in this paragraph shall require the Secretary of Homeland Security to install fencing, physical barriers, roads, lighting, cameras, and sensors in a particular location along an international border of the United States, if the Secretary determines that the use or placement of such resources is not the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain operational control over the international border at such location."
