Watching the mess in WDC, we must push the idea of complexity at the border, not just in need of a wall. The need to expand the conversation on all fronts. As Trump spouts his only reason for a dumb, wasteful wall, FEAR, we can detail counter arguments to every single fear mongering point he spews.
1) Trumps fear- “So Many drugs coming across the border”
Intelligent counter- 5.6 billion could go towards treatment, education, especially early child education. The drugs are coming due to demand. Reduce the demand, reduce the flow.
2) Trumps fear- “human traffickers”
Intelligent counter- Work with central american governments and businesses to curb corruption and violence. Open the conversation on human rights. Reduce the violence in home country, then demand to leave diminishes.
Here are two counters to Trumps fear machine. What idiots he and his followers are. Demand side solutions are motor effective and efficient.
