The wall on our Southern border that Donald Trump proposed early in his campaign generated as much controversy as any of his proposals. Divorced from the other issues that surround this proposal, one would wonder what the fuss is all about. After all, people are breaking the law by entering the US from Mexico by not following immigration laws. So it would seem the answer would be to act to prevent people from breaking the law.
If putting up a wall or fence helps stop lawlessness, then what’s the big deal? It’s not like there’s any dispute where the border is, and the wall is to be built along that mutually agreed-upon border. So, again, what’s the big deal?
Okay, that was an exercise in looking at the problem of illegal immigration without the baggage of political agendas. Add the inevitable measure of politics to the issue and it becomes a huge deal.

I love walls. My house has walls. They help hold up the roof. They help keep me warm in the winter and cool in the summer. They help keep bandits out. Walls are a great invention.
WALL BUILT AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AND UNDER BUDGET. ps. Mexico paid cash.
Well, let’s just worry about keeping them out for now, and we’ll cross the other bridge when we come to it.
