Sen. John Kerry joined most of his Democratic colleagues last week in voting to build a wall along 370 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border. "I voted for it," Kerry acknowledged Friday while speaking to the New England Council breakfast.
Quotes in Boston Herald, the Massachusetts Democrat added: "If I were making the long-term decision, I’d announce, you know, hopefully it’s a temporary measure, and we can take it down as soon as we have enough people" to guard the border.

It's a waste of time & money for the wall to be built in the first place. All we really need to do is enforce the American laws of illegal immigration. Take all benefits away... including welfare(even for anchor babies) , housing, education, etc... If they have nothing to look forward to when they get here, they won't even decide to come; & the ones already here will go home. I'm sure they'd much rather be poor in their own land than stay here (where they are not wanted) and be poor. That way they can go home & try to build their own country.

Kerry is a two-faced liar and a Dufus on top of it!
Today he said, only uneducated people end up in Iraq.
He's for open borders and has been all along.
the illegal aliens are costing the American tax payers $90 BILLION Dollars a year in Welfare and social services. $7 Billion sounds like a real deal to spend one time and build a fence and guard it!

ROBERT RECTOR, HERITAGE FOUNDATION: Well, assuming that we have about 11 million immigrants in the U.S., the net cost or the total cost of services and benefits provided to them, education, welfare, general social services would be about $90 billion a year
