In January, TMZ reported that the Obamas were constructing a large brick wall around their swanky new Washington, D.C., residence.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cchild on the other side of the border is no less worthy of love and compassion than my own child. We can\u2019t distinguish between them in terms of their worth and inherent dignity, and that they\u2019re deserving of shelter and love and education and opportunity,\u201d Obama said.<\/p>\n<p>The lecture from the former president also came just one\u00a0day after Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) revealed that Customs and Border Protection, at the direction of the Obama administration, knowingly released at least 16 illegal aliens who were members of the brutal criminal gang MS-13. Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, became aware of the scandalous decision to release the gang members thanks to a DHS whistleblower.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;CBP apprehended them, knew they were MS-13 gang members, and they processed and disbursed them into our communities,&#8221;\u00a0Johnson said Wednesday at a committee hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, meanwhile, is meeting with NATO leaders in Brussels Thursday and will press western leaders to become more cooperative and aggressive in the fight against radical Islam.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifezette.com\/polizette\/obama-lectures-trump-walls-builds-one-around-d-c-home\/\">http:\/\/www.lifezette.com\/polizette\/obama-lectures-trump-walls-builds-one-around-d-c-home\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obama Lectures Trump Over Walls, Builds One Around D.C.
