height of the wall an additional several feet, and in 2017, there was not one illegal immigrant that made it through the southern border into israel. brian: someone should tell senator schumer that it works and tell bernie sanders that it works. because the democrats actually do know it works. they voted for it whether it s a fence or a wall. that was the debate. now the debate is we should just now it s not humane to protect your own borders. ainsley: tucker asked did people call the government racist? did they complain and protest? he said yes they were protesting and complaining accusing israel s government. now no one is complaining we don t have illegal immigrants in israel. steve: walls works. the question is does the american government have the appetite to give the president the money he wants. brian: michael cohen stole the headlines yesterday as he finds out how long he will be in jail. who is he? he is president trump s
while simultaneously encouraging much of the third world to move here without permission. fences are awesome for that. w but walls, as nancy pelosi has explained, walls are immoral. according to cnn, walls are nothing less then an attack on the human heart. listen and learn. and a wall won t solve it. all he s doing is putting up walls around people s hearts. we are not a wall away from being better. don t waste billions of dollars of taxpayer money in order to build something that will not make our border more secure. tucker: that s the other point they keep making. walls don t work. they are totally ineffective except in prisons and the vatican and outside barack obama s house here in washington and almost every upper income neighborhood in america where walls surround the front lines of the homes hillary clinton and beto o rourke hold their fund-raisers. but among international borders, walls are useless.
the history of this country has ever come up with, that is of course building a wall along our southern border with mexico. watch. the president went to the heart of what i call his brown menace theory. these migrants, they are dirty people. they bring disease. this border wall thing is about controlling the browning of america. donald trump is fixated on the southern border as he was the day he announced his campaign. it is not about securing the border, it is about xenophobic, racist, bigoted leafs. tucker: that couldn t be clearer. border walls are racist. we know that. unlike border fences. border fences are not racist. they are much easier to climb over and that s why democrats have repeatedly voted to fund them. if you could have lots of border fences and still wind up with 22 million illegal aliens living in the country. we have proved that conclusively over the years. fences are the perfect solution if you re trying to pretend that you care about border security
pelosi. pressure to do it and prove nancy pelosi wrong and put it on the senate and say it s all on chuck schumer if they don t get it to the senate there are problems. there are 82 separate cases of people who own land where the wall would go who are suing to not let the wall go there. they were suing president bush to stop the building of the wall. president is going to start building a brand new wall. the rest has been replaced. that was going to start in february with last year s money. as soon as it starts. i think he is going to need a lot of money. right now he hasn t been able to spend at a higher space because it takes so long to get everything approved and done. steve: this was one of the foundational aspects of his agenda when he ran for president. is he going to maintain border security and build a wall and now we have heard it sounds like because he has made it a national security interest as well.
story and i hope that a lot of people watch the segment. thank you for telling us what happened in your experience there. remarkable. you re welcome, good to be with you. tucker: thanks. thank you. professor of african-american studies at the university of maryland and a frequent guest on the show, professor, thank you very much for coming on. you just are the kind of amazing story. i didn t know that. tel aviv, 55,000 illegal immigrants working there, working class residents of the towns said crime is going up. governor of israel builds a wall to keep the aliens out and no one in this country says anything. is that immoral? i think there are lots of big differences between israel and the united states. first of all, we know that crime has gone down in the united states steadily since 1991. immigrants commit both legal and undocumented commit fewer crimes than americans like you and i.
