Kamala flip-flopping on the border wall...? [View all]

I don't pay a lot of attention to criticisms of our President to be, but have seen some allegations that she has flipped her position from being against a border wall to being in favor of a border wall. But as I read the accusations, they appear to be based on her statement to sign the immigration reform bill that Trump killed, which contains language to build some additional border wall.

The bill was apparently the best immigration reform legislation to come along in decades, had won bipartisan approval in the Senate and Biden would have signed it.

Kamala signing the bill doesn't necessarily mean she has flip flopped on her wall position...does it?

No. It means if legislation moves in the right direction and is the best you can get, as President you often sign it. Freethinker65 Aug 2024 #9
