Would it not be better to spend 5 billion on building a buffer between Guatemala, Belieze and Mexico

making jobs for the migrants trying to enter Mexico? Wouldn't it be better for us to invest in a Marshall Plan for Central America? People are desperate all over the world. Those who scam, cheat and steal from the people are increasing the desperation. This is the stuff revolutions are made of and revolutions come in different forms. We can be isolated but there is enough ugliness going on inside our own country to make many people desperate.

We need to come up with policies that say to those outside our borders that we want to help them and not hate them.

healthcare, food stamps, housing and other essentials. They wouldn't go for anything that would help Central America.

We don’t have the time for rational solutions! All of Trump’s mouth breathers want a wall, and that is that!
