Notable “yea” votes include: Barack Obama (D-IL), Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Chuck Shumer (D-NY), Joe Biden (D-DE), Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Christopher Dodd (D-CT), among others


“Want to know how this guy was able to authorize the wall with just his signature?
Because these guys voted in favor of building it while in the Senate”

Greg L.: True

Katherine C.: Not the same thing. It’s one thing to reinforce a border and another to build a wall and use it metaphorically to indicate that the US is racist and xenophobic.

Rayn: Muh Borders: they keep all the freedom inside! 😉

Jason R.:

"Ann Frank's visa application was turned down by the U.S. government. If she had been accepted, she could have been a 77-year-old woman living in Boston today. Remember that when you hear all this anti-refugee rhetoric."

Rayn: But… Muh Borders! đŸ˜„

Rayn: 

"Every national border in Europe marks the place where two gangs of bandits got too exhausted to kill each other anymore and signed a treaty. Patriotism is the delusion that one of these gangs of bandits is better than all the others." Robert Anton Wilson
