A wall on our Sourhern border is the most inane and useless attempt at immigration control imaginable. All it does is make xenophobes "feel" better. It is an expensive and useless monument to the xenophobic, racist and anti-intellectual tide in the country. We are cutting programs to help homeless veterans who the right trot out for "cause" as to why we cannot help other communities yet crickets when we use that money to build a useless wall.

The wall would not work. It would devastate the environment. It would require violating individual property rights. It will saddle future generations for paying money for its upkeep.

The wall is as useless as the analogy about keeping front doors open so we can solve feeding the hungry. It gives a lovely Dopamine release to continue to fuel the fearful feelings of the right wing who are afraid of anyone who looks different than them or has an accent but does nothing to resolve any of the actual issues.
