Trump put razor wire on border fence -- Arizona town just voted unanimously to tear it down

Opposition to President Donald Trump’s border fortification continues to grow.

Trump pledged to build a cement wall during the 2016 campaign, but Mexico refused to fund the expensive project as he had pledged. He then sought money from Congress, but Capitol Hill refused to fund either a concrete wall or steel-slat border fence.

Trump, however, has defiantly continued to push for fortifications and has sent 3,700 troops to the border to increase fortifications.

Nogales, Arizona was outraged after troops installed razor wire, also known as concertina wire, along the existing border wall in their community.

Congress announced today, that they are investigating this fiasco. I don't know the schedule but that is coming up along with the concentration camps.

Disgusting. These assholes are delving to depths I didn't know even existed.
