I am not in favor of $5 billion being spent by the government when places in America don't even have clean water.
However, I do feel the need for border security, but a wall is something that is not only ineffective, but also damaging symbolically.
I think that if this wall were to be erected, the hard-nosed right wingers will finally have a symbol that reflects their belief in what America should be today: "America is for whites only, nobody else should come in." They may not say that, but c'mon, even most conservatives have to agree that's how a lot of people feel.
The fact that Trump has made this a "crisis" is laughable from my perspective. His oval office speech reeked with emotional arguments that I, quite frankly, could care two ****s about.
Did Trump give an emotional plea regarding gun violence after the Las Vegas shooting? More people died from the Las Vegas shooting than he was able to list in his speech. Sorry, but I think that allowing Americans to assemble an arsenal capable of taking Grenada is much more of a pressing issue than illegal immigration.
For anyone out there going to the grocery store, you can thank illegal immigrants for ensuring that you have cheap food to buy. You wanna pay $12 for a tomato? Go right on ahead.
