Creating Crises, Solving Crises

PRESIDENT TRUMP, feigning concern and alarm after the fashion of all petty tyrants, keeps claiming that a crises exists on America's southern border. There is, but not the one Trump claims, which is a vicious lie, a deliberate fabrication. Trump should know, because he fabricated it as an excuse for turning the United States into an even more hostile nation, separating and damaging desperate families merely for seeking asylum from poverty, violence, and certain death, abusing innocent people like some petty dictator with jack booted thugs.. American border policy under Trump is nothing other than criminal, entirely designed by Trump with the advice of his most right wing, racist, war mongering sycophants. This policy uses the false pretense that our border is under siege from a horde of dangerous, criminal, violent gangsters, intent on harming America, and who will, soon, unless Trump's great wall is erected. In reality, the real crises is our (American/Trump's) treatment of a few thousand hungry, terrified, desperate mothers and children. The situation on America's southern border at this very moment is not fundamentally any different, any better or worse, than it has ever been, and it always been, for the most part, bad. Trump ha and is making it much worse, rapidly. The solution is obvious, and everyone knows it, but everyone is afraid to say it. Its three parts; economic, military, and political. First, help Mexico much, using American money and investment. Make it fair for Mexico, and leave the profit in Mexico, instead of sucking it all back into the U.S., and billionaire's pockets. Then, position the American military, that's right, the American military on the border, to defend it. If necessary, amend the law to make it legal. It won't cost anything, because it will merely be a matter relocating existing military units, already paid for. This idea should please conservatives. if it doesn't, nothing will, considering how devoted our conservative American comrades are to the military, and its effective and successful deployment. For that purpose, a two thousand mile ten foot chain link fence should suffice, merely to clearly and cleanly delineate the exact border. And please remember, a military can be a friendly, welcoming force as well as an ass kicking fighting force. with the military on the border, in meaningful numbers, able to keep constant surveillance on every inch of the border twenty four seven, with ease, any policy towards Mexico that American wants to enact can be enacted..Thirdly, enact a policy, making sure that it a good one, understanding that a good policy is one which is extremely friendly to Mexico, its government and people, and helpful to those who approach the border wishing to interact in some fashion with America. Its a win win situation. Prosperity for Mexico will inevitably benefit and make its way to the United States. A reasonable, equal distribution of wealth throughout the North American economic zone will benefit everyone. But by all means, we the American people sure as hell don't need to be spending billions of dollars, or even one dollar, on some Trumped up, massive, monolithic, ineffective, steel and concrete symbolic monstrosity of a wall. A simple chain link fence and some folks to focus on it is far better. Nicer, and easier to defend.
