beeping newly caught illegals in prison and separating them from their children is another stupid idea and a huge fuck up. this is also a gigantic waste of money, it needs to stop
a smart physical barrier (high walls in urban areas, fences in desolate areas with clear line of sight, whatever the expert engineers decide) is a practical and humane way to mitigate the desire to illegally enter the united states. a huge waste of money would be doing nothing and allowing republicans and democrats feign compassion for these people while using the perennial issue to be reelected and border crossers themselves as cheep labor. Trump just offered a THREE (beyond his term) year daca extension in exchange for border funding. Stop pretending like doing nothing and allowing the problem to exist is a solution- this isn't bigotry its actually one of the most humane ways to mitigate further damage.
