Consider the limited thinking that produces a concept such as “border security.” The essential assumption here is that the United States of America is primarily a physical container – three and a half million square miles of freedom and prosperity but the supply is limited.
The border agents, presumably, are protecting all the exclusive goodies that constitute America. The downside of such thinking has been partially laid bare by the Trump presidency, which, as it began, taking children away from asylum-seeking parents at the Mexican border and warehousing the children in places unknown all over the country, which triggered large-scale public outrage.
It didn’t stop there, immigrants who were in the US on temporary visa’s were detained at airports and being picked up by ISIS agents. All in an a purported effort of border control. Then you have its president shutting down the government to prove his point.
What is the bottom line? Is a wall really needed to secure the US border?

Sean “Puffy” “P-Diddy” Combs mourned the loss of his “best friend” Kim Porter by posting a video that showed the 2 of them embracing during an Essence photo shoot back in 2006.
Regret seems to be a fact of life: the one who got away, the job you didn’t take, the fight you wish you hadn’t had, the choice of the wrong school, the investment you didn’t make, the money you didn’t save, the move you wish you’d made, and on and on and freakin on. That’s the predictability of life; there will definitely be something along the way you will wish you’d done differently.
Don’t get me wrong the past should neither be forgotten nor accepted, it should be “a thing“ to be treasured and lessons to be learnt and then you MOVE ON.
Last week Rap artist, turned fashion designer Kanye West made a visit to the oval office at the White House. Invited by President Donald Trump himself, West professed his undying love and utmost respect for the president and all hell broke loose in the media. Social media especially. Saturday Night Live mocked them, while the media made a spectacle of Kanye’s rant, word for word. During his 10 minute rant in front of Trump and reporters, Kanye talked about everything from Democrats, single parent households, and Hillary Clinton.
