After two years, a government shutdown, 800,000 federal workers living on the edge of homelessness and poverty, and too many pivots on what to call Trump’s “wall” across the southern border, Trump really needs to sell his unnecessary and ineffective border wall to the American people, especially with his poll numbers tanking fast as the race toward 2020 heats up.

Instead of developing a new plan, Trump is sticking to the old one: scare Americans into thinking that what they need to feel safe is a border wall that will neither keep undocumented immigrants from coming into the country nor solve America’s own problems with violent crime.

The homicide rate in Mexico is higher than in the U.S., no one disputes that. However, even with all the undocumented immigrants currently residing in the United States, our homicide rate continues to fall. Despite Trump’s fear tactics and rhetoric saying “they’re bringing crime,” the data does not support that claim.

Trump claims his wall is all about the safety of the American people, but the gun violence rate in the U.S. in 33 times higher than Mexico’s, and the president won’t address common sense gun law reform. The rape rate in the U.S. is twice as high as Mexico’s and is overwhelmingly committed by American men, not immigrants, but sexual assault is not an issue Trump cares to address.

The U.S. crime rate overall is eight times higher than Mexico’s, and violent crime in the U.S. is six times higher than in Mexico, but all our president wants to talk about is a wall.

The wall is a racist monument to Trump and nothing else. Twitter was quick to remind Trump that they’re aware of this. Read some of their comments below:
