Yes, the wall does need to be built. It has nothing to do with racism (I didn't know Mexican was a race to begin with. I thought it was a nationality.) It's about dealing with illegal immigration, which is a huge problem in America right now. The cost of illegal immigration far exceeds the cost of a border wall. Anyway, if it was Obama who had suggested the wall, the Democrats would have jumped all over it. And, there were a number of Democrat congressmen and women who supported strong steps at stopping illegal immigration. But, now that President Trump is trying to do something about it, the Democrats are suddenly changing their tunes. I don't understand. Not at all.
