Mexico doesn’t want illegals from Central America

After reading about Salvadorans and others from Central America who come to the U.S. illegally, I can see why Mexico doesn't support the wall. They don't want those people escaping poverty and crime within the borders of Mexico (which has much harsher laws about illegals remaining there). So they want them to go north. Mexico is an extremely wealthy country--but further south is not the case. ThinkProgress recently sent a memo that Democrats need DACA in order to get the political votes. How perverse is that? I mean, we knew that the left is never about American values or security, and always about power, but to see that from a former big shot in Hillary's campaign, Jennifer Palmeri, well--I suspect she'll be asked to apologize or leave.

Many Democrats supported the wall both under Bush and under Obama.  It was bi-partisan.

And why do Democrats quibble over terms?  Is a fence better than a  wall?

“Where I don’t understand the pushback is, in 2013 if everybody was for the 700 miles of double fencing, but now they’re not for it because Trump calls it a wall — to me that does not make sense,” said Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the labor union for the Border Patrol agents. “Whether we call it a fence or call it a wall, it acts as the exact same thing — a physical barrier that makes it more difficult to enter the United States illegally. I don’t understand the whole fight over this.” (quoted in WaPo)
