Well, I didn't say that you were racist and I rather think that you haven't thought it trough. You watch Fox News and just go with the mob mentality. Because Trump's wall makes no sense.
So you want Trump to build this wall which minimal cost is $20 billion, but let's face it: that is a major understatement, the big concrete wall that is 2000 miles long would cost at least $100 billion, and knowing Trump and how he does business and how corrupt he is and how he would give it to contractors that would then funnel the money to him, the wall may end up costing hundreds of billions of dollars.
And even few weeks ago when the starting price was $5 billion Trump already wanted to cut money from Puerto Rico and money from disaster funds so you can imagine when the price starts rising to $20 billion and then $100 billion what else he will cut because he also doesn't want rich people to pay any taxes. Public schools would be a long forgotten memory.
So he builds the $100 billion dollar wall and then what? You now have to have all the expensive infrastructure of people that are guarding the border now guarding the wall because walls can be breached by tunnels, ladders and what not if they're not guarded plus $100 billion dollar wall -- so how does this make any sense?
On top of that illegals mostly enter through the entry points and we heard the other day how El Chapo smuggled all his drugs by sea and air, so even the $100 billion wall wouldn't stop that.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
