Much continues to be said about the difference in crime rates between illegal immigrants and native born citizens as it relates to the border wall debate.
That argument is a red herring.
The effectiveness of the border wall is the issue, not quibbling over a crime rate statistic.
Someone entering our country, without our permission, is a criminal.
That’s what the law says and we are a country of laws.
Someone entering my house without my permission is not welcome.
Thousands of individuals are entering our country illegally and that’s established fact.
A border wall is a necessary piece of the national security puzzle as evidenced by walls in other countries and common sense.
Its cost is a pittance compared to what we spend on supporting the needs of illegals, and whether or not a wall is racist is just another red herring thrown out by the open borders adherents.
