The problem isn't at our border. The problem is what makes people from Central America risk their lives to get here. Why would they risk the assaults, rapes, trafficing, extortion, murders like the San Fernando massacre and so many other mass murders of immigrants, in order to get here - but then let a moat, a fence, machine gun nests every 50 yards, or a 30 foot concrete wall from sea to sea, make them decide to stay home? It is laughable that our leadership cites the abuse of immigrants on their journey north as a reason for a wall, as if the presence of a wall will stop desperate people from putting themselves at risk, when assaults, rapes, trafficing, extortion, murders, and the prospect of dying in the desert don't stop them.
Why do we not have millions of Canadians streaming across our northern border when there
are millions coming from the south? Answer that question and you will have the answer to our southern border problem. We don't need a southern wall any more than we need a northern wall.
Does Jesus tell us to build a wall to keep the poor, the sick, the hungry from visiting our doctors, doing our work, or sharing our abundant food? Sorry - that was PARFy. I apologize.
