Gutiérrez ready to give in on wall

Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) said Saturday that he’s ready to give President Trump his
signature border wall if the Republicans will agree to new legal protections for "Dreamers."

[...]

Gutiérrez made explicitly clear that he hasn’t changed his thinking about the wall itself —
a concept he characterized as a “demeaning” approach to immigrants and border policy.

“For me, why don’t you just take your middle finger and point it at Mexico? … Because it’s the same thing,” he said. “I really
don’t believe that it’s about security. It’s about saying, ‘Brown people stay out of the country.’ And the president’s said as much.”

Gutiérrez said he sees the wall as a price the Democrats will have to pay to secure the DACA protections — one he’s now willing to pay.

“We’ve stopped arguing that it’s unnecessary, because it’s ransom,” he said.

Again, also

JimLur, bottom line Hillary's border security plan incorporating technology in
remote areas was better than the physical 'wall all the way' promise of Trump's.
Basically, Donald Trump's Border Wall Already Exists
