On occasions I catch myself wondering in the back of my mind if my blessings are also curses. Consider, for example, you were able to instantly see through the BS or know someone is trying to sell you a bill of goods. It would be wonderful to be almost impervious to flattery, to be hard to deceive, or difficult to easily persuade. However, on the opposite side of the coin, it is near impossible to ever believe the very things that 'just feel good' in lieu of making sense. It would be difficult to assume that people mean what they say, or have no ulterior motives, that the government cares about you, and a host of other things that 'feel good.' Most people are NOT OK with having a world where psychological comfort is so sparse, making them all too ready to believe whatever they hear or see.
In this complete crock of 'you know what' statement, we see a lot of hypocrisy and irony. We wont even strongly touch on the comical mention of the expense of the wall when our government spends hundreds of millions of dollars on studies of useless factoids that serve little purpose. Or hundreds of millions, even billlions on botched programs, subsidies, and foreign welfare. Trillions on endless war, constant pay increases, and inflating bureaucratic budgets... It's safe to say being fiscally conservative is a trait which has long since been largely exorcised from the halls of power like a possessive demon.
If we assumed that this statement was true in any way, it begs a lot of interesting questions:
I know many of my Anarchist friends will disagree with me as they dont believe in borders, but let me pose this to you from my point of view. I am currently being robbed and extorted under the ostensible purpose of funding the nation-state. Therefore, as long as this is occurring, I would like to see said nation-state take reasonable defensive measure to protect itself. I believe it to be even more egregious and heinous if I was being robbed in order to help support anyone who wandered in. That amounts to effective de facto redistribution by the state, perhaps one of the least anarchist things one could imagine.
Let us be honest, the statements Pelosi is making here have little to do with morality/effectiveness and much to do with agenda/party dogma. Moving an agenda has become more important than the welfare of the state... and its CITIZENS. Many people seem to not realize that the open-borders policies of recent years are firm globalist goals, designed to weaken and usurp the nation-state. That eventually means less for all citizens, including the very ones pushing this agenda.
One solid book on the rise of Stalin or Mao will illustrate how a class of supposedly 'intellectual' useful idiots is used to push social policies intent on concentrating power into a higher order. Once the transformation is complete, as Yuri Bezmenov so succinctly states, they are put up against a wall and shot.
