Immigration is a tough issue, and so are xenophobia and racism. But spending tens or hundreds of billions of dollars to build a wall that has countless logistical problems (say goodbye to several migratory species that cross the border; hope none of them are important for the food chain), is just so mind-bogglingly shortsighted and cruel. How many immigrants could we help for that much money? Have Americans so quickly forgotten that, up until rather recently, there was no immigration policy? You could just come to the US to flee whatever terrible life you had before, and nobody asked any questions. I feel incredibly fortunate that my mom’s side came here from Germany well before WWII. I wouldn’t want to prevent anyone else from having a chance to be here.
