That is where we disagree. I don’t see the construction of a 2,000 mile wall, motivated purely out of racism and xenophobia, as a minor irritant.
Every Hispanic person on earth knows what the wall means and it will say for generations “you are not welcome and you are most certainly not fully American”.
I don’t see how this is any different than the argument the left made with gay marriage, non-binary gender and pronouns, and our rage against there being “good people on both sides”.
Democracy is based on citizenship and symbols of that citizenship matter.
