It is a pet thing with Democrats -- it is part of the "Reagan Legacy" and fits their "wasteful government spending on the military" and "creating enemies rather than friends" mind-sets. I thought it was a bad idea during the Cold War -- too much money that couldn't defeat the Soviet threat or adequately weaken it for the cost. Now - however - with a nation like North Korea gaining nukes and possibly ICBM capability - and willing to share technology and even hardware with nations like Iran, Pakistan, and Syria ----- it should be criminal for any administration and Congress to not continue to develop the means to thwart a limited missile attack on the US (and allies that want to join up).
