Build your wall
Something in the news leaves me puzzled. 1st a disclaimer. I come from the country. Rural life. Fences are important if only to keep the cows where they belong. We have had this tradition for as long as we had traditions. Now moving forward. I think that as a country we respect the border. We only have one so it doesn’t take that much of a jump to say that we take care of the border on our side of an imaginary line. Our neighbour to the South and I’m thinking in terms of national neighbour seems to feel that people are crossing into his land from here. No proof given but I accept that he may have a different view of things. However at what point do we have to spend the money to build fences on his side of the line. I can see where we need to do our usual diligence but he seems to believe that all of the border infrastructure should be built by us. Something about a wall that he promised his people and never delivered on. I am looking forward to seeing how this plays out because we’re only a couple of months out from his threats being made real. He has big plans for us whether or not we are paying attention. That border thing might be important if both sides were doing their job but that is not the case. I do not feel that we need to build a new fence for his side of the wall especially since he has never built that wall. Instead I want some rational response to things if people are coming to your side of the fence to sell stuff stop buying. Because that’s the real case here all of the posturing is someone trying to keep his population from buying things that he does not want them to have. Whether or not those products are being produced elsewhere and coming through our land to his side of the fence is just a detail.
