What Went Down At The Univision Democratic Debate
The Congressional Research Service and studies by U.S. Customs and Border Protection found that the U.S.-Mexico border wall that exists today cost $16 million to $21 million per mile. In several spots, it’s also undermined — literally — by narcotraffickers. Critics including former Texas Gov. (and former Presidential candidate) Rick Perry say the price and logistics are unworkable. Other critics believe it’s un-American, with Vice President Joe Biden saying “building walls is fundamentally contrary to what made this country what it is.” But the United States is just one of 65 nations choosing to wall its borders. That’s four times as many nations as when the Berlin Wall fell.
Most Democrats think Clinton has been honest about Benghazi. According to a November Fox News poll, 67 percent of Democrats said “yes… Clinton has been honest with the American people about the State Department’s role in the events surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attacks.”
Why did the crowd boo the Benghazi question? Maybe because “the public’s interest in the September 2012 attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, and the subsequent investigations into Clinton’s responsibility for the death of two U.S. diplomats while she was secretary of state, has dropped considerably since the events,” our colleague Leah Libresco reported last fall.
