Interesting fact (that drug dealers, terrorists and most people with a sixth grade education already know), while the president wants to build a few hundred miles of wall between the US & Mexico--the US has over 12,383 miles of coastline (and 95,471 miles of shoreline.)
Of course, many drug dealers and terrorists and illegal immigrants and criminals and normal people and others have found out about air travel and don't enter the country on foot (that tends to be mostly poor people, seeking asylum or work and hope in the U.S.)
These people use the over 19,000 airports in the United States including the over 500 that are open to commercial flights. But they might choose to use the many unpaved runways across the US of which there may be as many as 44,000 (according to the CIA).
There are 5.3 million miles of airspace. And nearly a billion people flew in the US with well over 100 million of them flying internationally. So the whole wall thing...is just ridiculous. Focus on people who come over a small stretch of southern border, even more ridiculous.
It is clearly racism, targeting poor brown people. So, here's an idea: Let's move past it and reopen the government and remove from office people who seek to distract us from our real urgent priorities with such nonsense.
