On January 17, 400 moves to asylum cured delve a passage underneath the border wall between Mexico and the United States. They instantly turned themselves over to U.S. Customs authorities.

The willingness of these migrants, including an estimated 200 offsprings, indicates both the hopelessnes of those seeking asylum but likewise the fundamental rights decency of those same people who turned themselves in upon spanning the border.

In fact, their actions are so inspiring they remind us of a little speech Trump afforded in 2004 in which he literally talked about clambering over, under and around the walls that are put in front of us.

For every Trump statement, there’s an equal and opposite previous statement.

It’s mostly technical ordinance that for everything our current president says, something he previously said instantly bars or belies it. The parties of the internet have made a game out of seeing Trump tweets that don’t senility well( here are 31 lessons , just for funsies) and one industrialist even originated now-sold-out flip bustswith affirming Trump tweets etched on them.

Good occasions, America!

A recently uncovered video masterpiece originates Trump’s rationales for his “big, beautiful wall” sound even sillier than they already do.

For two plus years, we’ve listened Trump go on and on about the inevitability of building a Wall along the part Mexico-U.S. margin, which Mexico was( somehow, miraculously) going to pay for. Though he’s now conceded that steel slats are a better hand-picked for a railing, much of his pushing was for a “big” and “beautiful” wall made of concrete–which makes archived footage from a birth communication he made in 2004 all the more hilarious.

In a excerpt shared by The Daily Show, Trump described to grads of Wagner College how people should never get up , no matter what obstacles they come across–including a material wall.

“Never, ever throw overboard, ” Trump said. “Don’t give up. Don’t allow it to happen. If there’s a concrete wall in front of you, follow up it, go over it, go around it. But get to the other side of that wall.”

Excuse me, but BWAAAAHHAAAHAHH-!

All hilarity aside, there are real reasons a wall won’t do what the president claims it will do.

Much has been analyzed and written about the potential efficacy of and problems with “the wall, ” by much more qualified and knowledgable tribes than myself. For sample TAGEND

– Why the Wall Won’t Work by David Bier, immigration policy reporter at the Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity.( The Cato Institute is a Libertarian think tank .)

– 5 Difficulty ‘the Wall’ Won’t Solve by Michael Dear, emeritus prof in the College of Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley

– I have voted in favour of Trump. Now his wall may destroy my butterfly paradise .~ ATAGEND by Luciano Guerra, outreach coordinator and lecturer for the National Butterfly Center in Mission, Texas.

To sum up for the TL ;D R folks, the wall won’t solve the problems Trump claims it will. Most hard drugs are snuck through ports of entryway not delivered over the open the regions of the border, terrorists are simply not coming inthrough the southern border, human trafficking is a far more complex reality than a wall are now able to address, and most research shows that immigrants both documented and undocumented are actually less likely to commit crimesthan American citizens are.

Not to mention, illegal intersects have been on a serious and steady recession since the early 2000 s, and are actually at a 46 -year low-spirited.

There is no way “flooding” of the border, despite the panic mongering rant we hear from the White House . strong> There are issues with immigration that need to be addressed, but improving an expensive, environmentally damaging, largely ineffective eyesore is not the way to address them.

Not to mention, if parties make Trump’s own advice about getting through or over a wall no matter what it required in order to get to the other side, there’s no way it will work at even a very basic, purpose-of-a-wall rank.

Instead of the investment in a wall, let’s put that money into meaningful immigration reform that indicates an understanding of the intricacies of human migration and respects our name as a person of possibilities and diversification.
