I did not watch the video included in the tweet, but the quote in the tweet has been largely debunked. Multiple news sources have stated that the Nancy Pelosi did not vote for a border barrier in the past and the Democrats who did vote for a border barrier voted for a different type of barrier. The structure was shorter and made of a different material. Also, it was the Republican Party that stopped immigration reform in the past.
