San Diego Reacts to the Border Wall

Responses ranged from vocal to vague after the White House turned up the volume on talk of building some kind of wall

By Hatch

Rep. Juan Vargas

Mayor Kevin Faulconer

SD already has a border built by the Feds. Crossborder trade creates jobs. Our binational economic & cultural ties have my full support.

The cost of the #BorderWall is three times the amount the federal government spends to address homelessness every year. pic.twitter.com/DQymSX44tE
