No Emergency

Wait! There is no emergency!

Which is more likely: there is a real emergency in which illegal immigrants are crossing the Mexican border and causing a great deal of economic hardship to Americans as well as taxing our public services (to the extent these still exist) and adding to the crime problem OR the people supporting this bill in Congress to build a long fence (a step away from the Israel-Palestine apartheid wall and/or the Berlin Wall of the Cold War era) along the border with Mexico are racist, xenophobic opportunists seeking to find scapegoats and draw attention away from the billions we are wasting on an unecessary war in Iraq and the harm caused by billions in tax breaks for corporations and the super-wealthy?

That was a hell of a long sentence, but I stand by the content and choose the latter!
