In the Washington Post there is an accounting of a border that is difficult to scale but killing those that try. That is a human rights violation.
If all we needed was a wall we would not need border patrols. The Border Patrol is in place to apprehend illegal crossers. A wall that kills is anti-American.
There better alternatives. Southern California has a triple redundant wall and it works to discourage crossing. No wall will be foolproof but there are methods to discourage people from coming to the USA as the only desperate way to save their own lives.
The people trying to scale the wall are making across the Rio Grande but then dying on American soil. Some will applaud at the great feat, but, it is wrong. The Border Patrol are incredible people and love this country, but, are compassionate as well. Cruelty to children is out of the question.
There are answers to prevent and end border crossing, this wall is a disgrace to the values this country represents to the world.
