Because Heaven also has walls around it being against Trump's wall is being against God and Christianity and therefore all morality.
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"

Jesus actually tore down barriers so I don't think I had my sarcasm meter turned on when you said that.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Tore down barriers of Heaven? So why does he have pearly gates then?

Ephesians 2:14 "For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility," If you can't debate peacefully or motivate people peacefully within a theological sect, you're going against Jesus' teaching, IMO.

Jesus teachings are are obviously murky and you can flip them as you like it. Guy who talked about wall being in line with Jesus is a prominent pastor with many Christians that agree on what he says.
Plan B: A Revised Strategy to Battle Idaho's Faith-Healing Exemptions
On February 21, 2018, Wingate and nearly 100 others carried 183 tiny, empty coffins up Capitol Boulevard and stacked them on the steps of the Idaho Statehouse—one coffin for each Idaho infant, child or teen that, according to PIK, had died since the exemptions were put into place in the 1970s. The February demonstration was sobering, and the words shared there were as bone-chilling as the single-digit temperature.
"My brother Steven was born with spina bifida. Our parents never took Steven to a doctor," said Willie Hughes, looking down at an empty coffin with his brother's name printed on the side. Hughes' family were members of Followers of Christ, a church that practices faith healing and believes death and illness are the will of God. "The elders prayed and rubbed olive oil on him. He died of bronchial pneumonia. He was only 3."
The summer of 2018 saw Idaho's latest incident of faith healing harming children. Lester Kester Jr. of Caldwell admitted to the 11-year molestation of his five children, while his wife, Sarah, told investigators that she had "prayed for the demon" to leave her husband instead of contacting authorities.

Bruce Wingate is a leader in Protecting Idaho Kids (PIK). I can't find any articles pointing to his view of Trump's wall. Could you please point me there? I also can't find a non-peaceful protest or message with his name on it. So he marched with some empty coffins. If you have that please point me in that direction as well. He attempts to protect kids from dying and life long harm by fighting against legislature that protects faith healing exemptions of civil or criminal liability for child neglect.

Just another Christian minister spreading hate and bigotry
And also this guy thinks that Trump is a great role model for morality.

Republican state Sen. Dennis Kruse’s bill, introduced last Thursday, seeks to place a poster reading “In God We Trust” in every public and charter school classroom in Indiana.
The bill would also allow public schools to teach creationism and offer a survey course on world religions. Curriculum for the survey course must be “neutral, objective and balanced” and not “promote acceptance of any particular religion,” according to the legislation, but it only lists the Bible as a specific text to be studied.

Retirement home bars lesbian couple from moving in because it goes against their religion.
Fuck Christians. I only wish I could live 1000 years so I could see this fucking religion DIE the horrendous death it so richly deserves.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
