The Authoritarian Dreamscape of the New Wild West
William deBuys reports on the humanitarian and environmental disaster of Trump’s border wall.
{As local residents I talked to attest, active patrols, remote sensing, and improved coordination among law enforcement agencies have reduced illegal crossings in the San Bernardino Valley almost to zero, something current government officials don’t point out but a NEPA document would.}
{It’s impossible to understand the wall, at least in the San Bernardino Valley, in terms of policy. As one rancher put it to me over coffee at the Gadsden Hotel, “This [wall] may be needed someplace, but it isn’t needed here.”}
In other words. A lot of damage to be caused, a lot of wasted money for favored companies to make, only to support a false narrative.
{Even if the structure doesn’t actually work in physical space, it works in your mind. It stands between you and everything bad you can imagine. The core truth that unites Trump and his supporters is that he hates who we hate – and the border wall stands for keeping out those unwanted people and all they represent.}

I personally hate that it's a project towards waste of money to benefit corporations on a manufactured narrative imperialism created. Our government waste enough money on aide to the countries they've managed to corrupt that could be beneficial partners to the world society if they had just been left alone to run their own societies. In which the people now run from.
Freedom and democracy isn't the quest here when you've taken that away for the benefit of imperialism agendas. Then when they come to you seeking it you also turn them away.
