"This is not Europe. This is America. We protect our borders." Imagine getting to live in a place where you can freely traverse countries, and there still be a system of citizenship, because that's how things work... Now imagine living in the richest country in the world and that not happening because everyone is a xenophobic idiot.
You can thank 9/11 and the George Bush for that.
Mr Allen told AFP news agency: "This is Americans' way of saying, 'Congress, you're worthless, and we're fighting it. We're going to build [the wall] ourselves.' "This is not Europe. This is America. We protect our borders." He denied hating immigrants, saying he is married to a Mexican woman, and his daughter was born in Ciudad Juarez. "This is not about racism," Mr Allen told AFP. "This is about me protecting myself, and America having a secure border." "If people want to immigrate, they should go to a port of entry and apply." How does building a crap wall protect you and your country when your country is more than likely to be the cause of your lack of safety? "I'm not racist, I have a Black Mexican friend Wife." If they go to the proper place they'll get fucked over for just being there, is this person not aware of how they treat immigrants over there? They have so many bad people in their own country but somehow someone wanting to come in is the one to be afraid of.
The barrier is being built through his nonprofit organisation WeBuildtheWall Inc, which he set up after organising a GoFundMe campaign in December entitled We The People Will Fund The Wall. Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is chairman of WeBuildtheWall's advisory board. Oh look, it's the walking dead. In a different article about this, I read a quote from an organization rep that was like, "We had to act quickly because we knew as soon as the residents saw what happened they'd freak out!" Literally, we built this wall from Friday night to Sunday morning because the actual people who live here would be opposed to it. Also reporting that said that Bannon took over WeBuildTheWall because up until then it was a serious mystery where that GoFundme money was going to go and if it was a scam. Also, the gofundme was for something like $22 million and apparently this half-mile of wall, including the land it's on which was "hastily purchased", cost $8 million. I expect another half-mile to be built and news of the remaining millions to be very quiet in the hopes nobody thinks about asking where they went.
"Build a really small section of a wall because what are we, made of money?" Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

I'd pass too on having open borders with a country that is literally considered an active warzone because nobody can keep the cartels in check and the US thought it was a good idea to feed them more guns thanks. bUtThEiRhEaLThCaReIsCoMmUnIsMrEeEeEeE /s
Open borders works in the EU because each member country is vetted and stable, and the EU's has a hard border with the outside world. Open borders with US and Canada would work out, but not with Mexico due to criminal organizations being so powerful down there.
Nothing new. This was also done in the early 00's by another group which name fades me at the moment.
Well yeah, that's kind of why I specified them like that. Although if we find out about all the brown people in Canada we might build a wall on the north end too.
Oh shit! He's allowed one "beaner" comment! Run!

The unexpected final boss of The Wall - the dreaded Planning and Zoning Commission.
I hope the secret bonus boss is HOAs.
Walls must be no higher than 6'. Walls must be no thicker than 4''. Walls must be made of wood. Walls must be unpainted or white. Walls must have an external gate. Walls cannot block pathways. Walls cannot encircle the entire property. Walls cannot obscure local scenery. Walls cannot block the US-Mexico Border.
Eh, if people want to put forth their own money to pay for like half a mile of wall that Mexico is apparently going to be paying for, who am I to stop them?
I guess this just proves that those people aren't actually American citizens. They're clearly secretly Mexicans.
