The money for the wall/barrier was appropriated by Congress long ago, and "the poor will always be among us, "as the Bible teaches us."
The problem is the socialistic or Communistic governments who usurp the monies from their people for THEIR OWN GREED, and their people, not allowed to defend themselves, since they have no weapons (a condition forced upon them by their governments) are left with 'mass protest methods' to use, and at such times as they choose to act out, end up gunned-down by their evil and greedy autocrats. We saw what happened to the Hong Kong people waving United States flags to say, "We want to have freedom like America has," yet they too were gunned-down or captured, placed in prison for probably years and years. Therefore, we have evidence of what happens in autocratic or Communistic countries when the people have no way to defend themselves, and are forced to live having their every condition of life "be" as their governments force them to be/have. No choices for them, just "do as we tell you to do."
We have given money to our southern countries for years, but because we don't send along with that money the administrators to "see to it" the paths of that money, along with teachers and construction contractors who will use the money as it is intended to be used, i.e., FOR THE PEOPLE, we are wasting our money and are just "making ourselves feel good" to be able to say "WE DID SOMETHING" for those people south of us," knowing full well that the monies went to all the wrong places, and was wasted.
As for the cartels who roam the areas south of us, they are the products of corrupt governments, There are also many government "officials," who are in cahoots with cartel outlaws, getting kick-backs from the cartels, or in other words, the evil guys are all robbing the peoples to benefit themselves. We can see what is KNOWN BY ALL, as we have plenty of documentary TV programs pointing out the mass corruption that rules everywhere south of our border.
Also, there are so many poor people of the world, our United States can't possibly allow them all to come here to become OUR PEOPLE, so we HAVE to go to their areas and TEACH them what we have learned, to help them 'pick up the pieces of their shattered countries,' beginning anew with ideas we have gathered, along with education toward improving their lives. It is a humongous undertaking, and will require humongous amounts of money accompanied by guidance and patience that THEIR CURRENT LEADERS don't desire at all. Those foul governments need to be overthrown, but will that ever happen?
Looks doubtful to me. Will any of these solutions ever happen?
What do you think?
In addition, that slogan on the base of our Lady Liberty, was never the all-encompassing idea of our country's purpose. We are not the "go to" place for the poor and needy. Our country was founded on undeveloped land, that our settlers came to, in order to establish freedom of religion and freedom of new ideas, and those founders forged a totally new country, by way of their own blood, sweat, and tears, and determination to establish a different country, unlike the countries they had left. Are we a compassionate country, ready to give compassionately to refugees? Yes we are, but that doesn't mean we are the world's battered peoples' shelter. We are the world's example of how to develop a nation with freedom's goals, and we can show others how to do the same, if they have determination and desire. We can help them, but they have to do the majority of the developing themselves.
That slogan at the base of the Statue of Liberty, was placed there, years after the Statue was forged. The Statue is a statue of freedom and liberty, not a statue of poor, huddled masses waiting to be taken care of as helpless indigents, longing for pity and charity.
We offer freedom to those who will adopt our ideas and customs, desiring to become Americans, dedicated to the ideas and goals that are engrained in our hearts and minds. We don't long for people of other nations who want to come here and rob us of our prosperity, with the idea of re-establishing their former national ideas here instead of there; those places where their nations began. Our nation is a nation forged with unique ideas and different goals, and our citizens enjoy that which we have developed here, wanting to preserve it all for our children, but offering the same to anyone willing to adopt our love of nation, working to preserve it along with us.
Our Bible tells us "not to just give a man a fish to feed himself for one day, but TEACH HIM TO FISH, so that he can feed himself from now on."
