“We welcome Border Patrol to come in and put their sensors, their cameras,” Vidaurri says as he drives his pickup through a gate that leads to one of eight 140-acre plots he shares with his siblings. “A few years ago, a house on his sister’s land was damaged by what he thinks was a drug smuggler. Border Patrol came in and installed video cameras and ground sensors, and they haven’t had a problem since.” As much as these statements may be true and loses have come from them, we must think of a bigger picture. We must lear from our past and the wars we have fought about territory and new blood on lands. New people come to our country to be free and are trying to find a better life for themselves and their families that their countries cannot provide. We should welcome them with open arms and not with such backlash. We should learn from the early settlements of our lands and not from the “better idea” of our “leader”.
Ms. Countryman's husband is going to be sent down there. I can't believe we're wasting so much time and resources because the president wants a wall. This is a neanderthal solution for a modern problem.
