NO. Not based on this vote can they be determined as racists. Notice this you Liberals; As conservative I am telling you the truth yet again building a real wall on the USA boarder of Mexico is a matter of nation States. Please Please Please comprehend Mexico is a country, A Nation State and not a race? Just like Canada is not a race.
Millions of People think that Donald Trump is a racist because he pledged to built an real boarder wall. Now in light of this piece of forgotten senate history can you now say that Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and scores of other Democrats are racists? Hate does not Trump Love. Ignorance does not Trump Wisdom, Politics does not Trump Righteousness or the rule of law. You get the picture?
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and scores of other Democrats voted for the construction of at least a double-layered wall on the southern border with Mexico in 2006, but the wall was never built after their party derailed it the following year.
Two-thirds of the Republican-led House, including 64 Democrats, approved the construction of the wall. Eighty of 100 senators approved the bill in the Senate. Then Sens. Obama, Biden and Clinton were among the 26 Democrats who approved the bill, as well as Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is set to take over leadership of the Senate for Democrats in 2016.
The bill ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to construct about 700 miles of fencing along the southern border and authorized the addition of lights, cameras and sensors to enhance security. The wall was explicitly required to be made of “at least two layers of reinforced fencing.” (RELATED: That Time All Of America’s Top Dems Voted To Fund Bush’s Border Wall)
Obama has mocked Republicans dissatisfied with the result, declaring the wall “basically complete” in 2011 and asserting Democrats did everything Republicans asked for.
“Even though we’ve answered these concerns, I’ve got to say I suspect there are still going to be some who are trying to move the goal posts on us one more time,” he said in a speech on the border in El Paso, Texas. “They’ll want want a higher fence. Maybe they’ll need a moat. Maybe they want alligators in the moat. They’ll never be satisfied. And I understand that. That’s politics.”
