I've talked to people who were in Alabama when George Wallace was governor. George Wallace--the man most famous for blocking the door of a school to keep black people from coming in--became a hero among the racists all over the country, especially in the state he was elected to.
People would often ask "What has he done for you?" The woman with untreated diabetes, the parent of a kid who couldn't read, and the man who comes home dirty and is slowly getting a broken back would always have the same answer. "He's keeping down the black people."
I see in about 50 years many of us will see this government shutdown and the wall in a very similar way. Here's a question: What were the economic policies of Geroge Wallace? Nobody Remembers, he just wanted to be seen as a hero for fighting against the civil rights movement.
Donald is currently trying to turn himself into a hero, one who stands up to the elites and does what is best for the American people. This will not work. The world is only getting more globalized.
The wall will not work. Illegal immigration has been at a net zero since 2007. We live in a world that is 3-D. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) even admitted that it is only going to cover less than 15% of the Mexican-American border. Of course, this will be why we need an even larger wall. And so on and so on until we put a dome over the entire United States.
Why do you think he's doing it now? Going back to Dan, he recently said if Republicans had the house, there would be a wall. Even though they had the House for 2 years (8 if you count the Obama era), and we still don't have the wall.
I just can't wait for 2020 campaign ads. Trump supporters will make sure to say "He's keeping down the Mexicans."
