This sounds like it's saying it would be purely a symbolic thing... for the sake of principle. The principle being to make a clear, physical distinction between "our culture" and "their culture". Are you admitting then that the wall will probably not physically keep illegals from getting in?
As an immigrant myself, I believe in controlling our borders as every country does. But not for the reason of some sort of "culture preservation."
Yeah, I was actually a little confused at that copy/paste. For me, that excerpt is a great argument against building the wall, because it's not about terrorism or violence or crime...it's about saying who "belongs" in America. It literally uses the Irish, Chinese, etc examples...which are certainly not a positive thing to which our actions would want to be compared.
