On Sunday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Meet The Press,” newly elected Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said the Senate Democrats are not going to help President-elect Donald Trump “build his wall.”

When asked where Democrats they should oppose Trump, Schumer said, “Well, my test is the specifics. We’re not going to work with him for the sake of working with him. We’re not going to oppose him just because he says — it’s something that Trump sponsors. Let me give you a couple examples on both sides. Surprisingly, on certain issues, candidate Trump voiced very progressive and populist opinions: changing our trade laws dramatically, a large infrastructure bill, cleaning up the swamp in Washington. These are things that Democrats have always stood for and frankly Republicans have always been against. We’re going to challenge we will challenge President Trump to work with us on that. If he doesn’t, he will break his promise of blue collar workers, many of whom voted for him on those issues.”

“On issues where our values are at stake, the president goes in a divisive direction, where his campaign did before, we will go against him and with everything we’ve got,” he continued. “We’re not going to repeal or help him repeal Obamacare. We are not going to roll back Dodd-Frank. They should forget about that. We have 60 votes to block them. We’re not going to help him build his wall. We have a comprehensive immigration bill that builds tougher border security. We’re not going to oppose him just because it’s Trump. We’re going to stick to our values and oppose him where where he opposes those. I hope on the promises he made to blue collar America, on trade, on carried interest, on infrastructure, that he will stick with them and work with us even if it means breaking with the Republicans who have always opposed these things.”

Bernie Sanders changed his party affiliation back to Independent last week, and then said about Trump, if Trump follows-through on fixing our bad trade deals, "he will have an ally in me."

"an ally in me"

That's strong. That's good. Maybe Bernie is Back??!!! I hope so. If Bernie Supporters align with Trump Supporters, we will be able to fix our country, no doubt about it, and we can fix it 100%. I never really understood by Bernie would support amnesty and open borders, other than to run as a Democrat.

Schumer, we don't need your help to build a wall. We don't need your help to enforce US immigration law, secure our borders or deport illegal aliens. These are matters of national security. Foreign invaders are killing and raping our people. Foreign invaders are stealing our social security numbers, voting in our elections, running illegal drugs and other criminal enterprises, they are killing police officers, protesting in our streets, disrupting our educational process both in schools with children as well as colleges and universities filled with young adults, infesting our professions with subversive ideas, threatening our citizens, bankrupting our governments, putting Americans out of work, and challenging our very existence.

When you are a foreigner in the United States challenging our rule of law, borders and sovereignty, you are an enemy of the United States.

We are The Americans,
And this is the United States.

We control what happens here. -- Judy

What is your worst nightmare?

250 million pissed-off Americans.

Make it a Military Operation.

Get them down their and BUILD THAT WALL. Defend our border against this invasion!

They built the Alaska Highway in less than 10 months due to Japanese invasion...they can build the wall!

Absolutely, Beezer. It's a national security issue on every level. Military operations on the border are 100% justified and necessary.
