The president continuing to build the wall on the Southern border is a betrayal of a campaign promise. It's also a desperate bid for approval by the border hardliners who want a president to be "tough on the border."

It's not just the selling out of the soul of his campaign, it's the selling out of the soul of this country. And by the way, it's an idiotic expenditure of billions of dollars. If people want to get in badly enough, they will simply build tunnels underneath the wall.

Once again, we are dealing with a problem on the level of the symptom and not the cause. As President I will end sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela, and seek to end every US policy in Latin America that continues a legacy of economic colonialism on that continent.

I will begin the process of ending America's War on Drugs, thus undercutting the power of the drug cartels who are creating such heinous violence from which people throughout Latin America are trying to escape.

For a fraction of what we spend on the Drug War (billions) and the wall (billions), we can fix our broken asylum system and create gateways through which immigrants can enter legally and then transition within a year to lives in America as productive and contributive citizens.

When I am president, people who have been traumatized in their home countries in ways the average person cannot even imagine, will not be retraumatized at the U.S. border.

While your plan does address the ROOT causes of the migrant crisis it will not stop it immediately. We need to plug the hole then address why it's happening. You can do both at the same time

Anyone who favors our open border is contributing to the destruction of our quality of life. Crime on our steets. Overloaded schools and communities. Overloaded welfare and medical systems. This is not sustainable.

I agree the wall is a bandaid 4 a complex issue. Kamala the border czar says this is what she’s been working on. Biden sent a message 2 the world that our borders r open & we will accept all. Trump sent the opposite message. Thats the major difference & reason 4 the increase

There’s also this.

It won't work either, the type of people who want to inflict human rights abuses on migrant families are not the type of people who will vote for any Democrat under any circumstances. Also, the border wall was Trump's idea, and so he'll take all the credit for it.

Do you lock your home?
Being a “spiritual” person I’d think you’d be above posting gross misrepresentation of the facts to try to get attention for your campaign.

You need to read the facts and not just the story title. Biden tried to reallocate those funds and couldn’t. They can only be used on a border wall.

He didn't approve it. Stop lying. You know that. It was passed in 2019. Maybe tell the truth. He can't stop it legally.
