For those reasons, it is not just Democrats who oppose the wall, many
Republicans oppose the wall. According to a Wall Street Journal survey:
``Not a single member of Congress who represents the territory on the
southwest border said they support President Trump's request for $1.4
billion to begin construction of his promised wall.'' That includes my
friends Senators Cornyn, Cruz, McCain, and Flake. For the very same reasons, the American people don't support the idea
of a border wall by almost a 2-to-1 margin. A recent Quinnipiac poll
found that 64 percent of Americans oppose a wall on the border with
Mexico, versus only 33 percent who favor it, and that poll didn't even
include the fact that Mexico would not be paying for it under the
President's plan. Now, I say to my colleagues and to President Trump, we Democrats
don't mind having a debate on the wall in regular order.
