Soon-to-be-former U.S. Representative Beto O'Rourke (D-TX), who is a possible candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, released this 48-second video, which made a very powerful case in opposition to President Donald Trump's demand for a border wall boondoggle among the U.S./Mexico border:
I will note that I am currently undecided on who to support for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, but Beto made an extremely powerful case against Trump's border wall boondoggle by framing the border wall issue as not only an immigration issue, but also an environmental issue, a public lands issue, and a private property rights issue as well. I strongly believe that the Democratic Party should champion private property rights and oppose abuse of government's eminent domain powers as part of the party's overall message.

Beto did not physically appear in the video, and neither his voice nor anyone else's voice, was heard in the video. However, the video didn't need anyone to be seen or heard to drive home the message about the many reasons why the proposed border wall boondoggle would be an absolutely ridiculous idea, and the various images of the natural beauty of Rio Grande Valley also helped make the case against the border wall boondoggle.
