The Dems say it is immoral to build a wall.
I say Trump has the moral high ground and if he would communicate it better he would win majority support. I’ve said repeatedly, and now some others with higher profile are starting to say the same thing, that the sexual assaults of women, the kidnappings, the fentanyl and heroin and meth smuggling, abuse of children, the spread of communicable diseases, the enslavement of immigrants and many of the other issues are immoral. Tens of thousands of deaths every year to drug overdose. To continue to do nothing when we know all this is happening is immoral. Trump has mentioned these reasons before - on the campaign trail and at the SOTU speech. But he needs to keep repeating it every time he talks about it. His surrogates need to repeat it every time they talk about it.
He can win the support of Americans if he can clearly communicate the reasons to the people. That takes repetition. It takes 7 impressions of an idea before people remember it. If he doesn’t repeat these reasons - if he doesn’t flat turn the tables and call the other side immoral for refusing to take action to stop these crimes against humanity - then he will lose the argument. Whomever can convince the people which is the moral decision wins. Americans are generous big hearted people. We empathize and want to help others. So when the left says we are immoral for trying to deny them refuge from poverty and hunger we hear them. Trump must counter this head-on.
This is not about racism. Trump has said “the wall” will have a lot of doors. That is a very good metaphor and he must repeat it. A wall to keep out the bad, with a lot of doors so that the good can knock and be welcomed in. We want to encourage legal migration. But we absolutely must secure the border if only to stop the potential for saboteurs and terrorists, but also to stop the drug overdose deaths, the sexual assault and slavery, kidnapping and worse.
The left say it is a “manufactured crisis”. Yes it is. It is manufactured by a number of leftist groups who are actively encouraging mass migration, and many people who come thinking they can make it across end up becoming victims of predators along the way. And Americans and other residents of America become victims of drugs and crime by the small % of people who exploit the open border for profit. So build a barrier - walls, fences, electronic monitoring, access roads for border patrol etc - but put up a lot of doors. So people who are legitimately in need can come directly and request entry, instead of paying thousands of dollars to criminal syndicates to be smuggled and potential victims. Let everyone know it costs zero dollars to come to the USA. You just need to ask and follow the process.
