Know how we know these comments are grounded in white supremacy—not national security?

Right now there are 600,000+ undocumented immigrants in America from Canada & Europe—when was the last time you heard MAGA call for a northern border wall or travel ban from Europe?🤔

That’s the complexion for protection. An ask again to demand Dems pass DACA protections before Jan 3. Do not leave DACA’s fate to MAGA extremists: https://bit.ly/3YedKtj

We need a pathway to citizenship now!

@QasimRashid Europeans in the country illegally are also deported. There’s just not as many of them so it isn’t as visible. There’s no need for a “wall” on the northern border because that isn’t where tens to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are crossing into the country every year. If you fall and scrape your knee, do you put a bandage on your arm?

@BradJFAK @QasimRashid Walls overall does not work—not historically (Great Wall of China 🇨🇳 & Great Wall of Benin in Nigeria 🇳🇬), not in fantasy (Ice Wall in Game of Thrones & Helms Deep wall in Lord of the Rings) & not in science fiction (Wakanda cloak wall in Avengers Infinity War & Jerusalem Wall in World War Z).

I believe the best option is to station the national guard (with policing powers), & border patrol can assess anyone detained.

@darnell @QasimRashid Agree and disagree. The "wall" isn't just a physical barrier. It's cameras, IR cameras, motion detection devices, etc. The actual barrier is intended to just slow people down enough to give humans time to notice and arrive. I think we should have the National Guard on the southern border, but I also think we should be turning more people back or detaining them in a single area. The numbers are just too high. It's beyond reasonable now.
