Consider the limited thinking that produces a concept such as “border security.” The essential assumption here is that the United States of America is primarily a physical container – three and a half million square miles of freedom and prosperity but the supply is limited.
The border agents, presumably, are protecting all the exclusive goodies that constitute America. The downside of such thinking has been partially laid bare by the Trump presidency, which, as it began, taking children away from asylum-seeking parents at the Mexican border and warehousing the children in places unknown all over the country, which triggered large-scale public outrage.
It didn’t stop there, immigrants who were in the US on temporary visa’s were detained at airports and being picked up by ISIS agents. All in an a purported effort of border control. Then you have its president shutting down the government to prove his point.
What is the bottom line? Is a wall really needed to secure the US border?

Sean “Puffy” “P-Diddy” Combs mourned the loss of his “best friend” Kim Porter by posting a video that showed the 2 of them embracing during an Essence photo shoot back in 2006.
Regret seems to be a fact of life: the one who got away, the job you didn’t take, the fight you wish you hadn’t had, the choice of the wrong school, the investment you didn’t make, the money you didn’t save, the move you wish you’d made, and on and on and freakin on. That’s the predictability of life; there will definitely be something along the way you will wish you’d done differently.
President Trump has undoubtedly sown racial division in this country by fueling anxiety over race with white supremacist who are putting action to his rhetoric. Trump is returning to the inflammatory playbook that helped lift him to victory nearly two years ago, waging a campaign of fear and racial division in an effort to save his party’s majorities in Congress. With just six days left before the midterm elections, Trump is amplifying a dark vision of what the country could look like if Democrats gain control in Congress. At campaign rallies, on Twitter and in his public commentary, he has issued urgent – if groundless – warnings about terrorists at the border, a socialist takeover and rampant crime.
