Are you disappointed that Biden doesn't support the Green New Deal?
Nope. The main reason why I am voting for Biden is that he will stop the illegal funding of the wall.

So it's not really the environment that concerns you the most about the wall? Are you worried that people won't be able to get into the country as easy illegally if the wall is built?

Maybe we should just call them undocumented border enforcement agents since no human being is illegal.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

The President is illegally using Congress's power of the purse to build his damn wall. The Constitution exclusively gives Congress the power of the purse. Link

Is Mexico paying for it?

Let's try the Biden trick. I'm not going to answer that. If I were to answer that then the headline for tomorrow would be all about whether Mexico is paying for the wall and slow down the progress on the wall getting built and the border being enforced.

So you support the wall being built?

No, no I don't support that.

So you don't support the wall being built?

No, no I didn't say that.

Chris Wallace: Thank you so much Mr. Vice President. I really hate Trump and want to see the border remain open and taxes skyrocket. I'll accept your contradictory platform and help you sell this lie to Americans who do want to see the border enforced and taxes remain lower so that perhaps they will unknowingly vote for you.

How about you try answering the question instead of disingenuously trying to side step it?

You know what, ajax, I can think of no reason for you not to engage in an honest question/answer exchange with me. You continuously try to pull the same sh-it on me as you do others here. You don't recall that I was in favor of the wall, do you?

No. You don't recall anything. You simply bat at the air and hope anyone questioning you will go away.

It's really remarkable. I stop short of calling it abysmally dishonest.

I don't remember you ever saying you were in favor of the wall. I remember you saying you thought we should let the caravans in.

To answer your question, as far as I know Mexico hasn't paid for the wall. Most conservatives would be more than happy to pay for it out of pocket through private donations.

Ajax mentioned the Green New Deal in this thread. This blog entry also mentioned the Green New Deal.
As Judge Sentelle emphasizes, the stakes in this case go far beyond the specific policy issues raised by the border wall. If the president is free to reallocate federal funds without regards to congressional authorization, and Congress cannot challenge him without enacting new, veto-proof legislation, that would enable the executive to exercise sweeping control over the power of the purse that it could easily use on a broad range of issues. Conservatives who may like Trump's border wall diversion are unlikely to be happy if a future Democratic president uses the same tactics to divert funds to the Green New Deal or some other left-wing project.

Since you want to talk about the country being irreparably damaged perhaps you'd like to explain why you're voting to help Chuck Schumer pack the supreme court, make Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico states, and end the Senate filibuster. Every crazy wackadoodle communist idea that the hard left passes in the Senate will become law immediately when Kamala breaks the tie. The guardrails the founders set up to this kind of radical change will be gone. I understand why you hate Trump Brackite but this election, especially the congressional one, is going to leave you on the wrong side of history with how you voted. You think you're taking people like me and Trump down. You're taking the whole country down to the point it will be barely recognizable within a two to three years. I'm afraid we all have some very hard times ahead like we've never seen before. If I were you, I'd repent and go back to church now.
