G.A.,
You don't mention this and may or may not be aware of it, but America the Babylon has consistently imposed its will upon Mexico and all of its Central and South American "neighbors" politically and economically, as well as via covert and overt military interventions whenever it has seen fit. Attempts by the people any of those nations to implement popular reforms to improve their governance, distributions of wealth, and/or living conditions have been met with violent suppression by America the Babylon if such reforms in any way conflicted with maintaining the status quo of "U.S. interests". This pattern of control and repression has been consistently and ruthlessly repeated for nearly two hundred years (i.e., since the Monroe Doctrine, 1823) to ensure that those nations remains in relative poverty and beholden to Washington as involuntary vassal states. Illegal drug production and distribution as well as the organized crime syndicates that control it and all of the attendant violence, serve America the Babylon where, in addition to providing the market demand, huge profits are siphoned off by government intelligence services and financial institutions.
So after centuries of engineering and perpetuating the poverty, violence, and government corruption of our neighboring countries to the south, the popular call has come from a segment of America the Babylon's populace to build a big wall to stem the flow of people fleeing unlivable conditions -- trying to get some small pieces of the piles of gold looted by & hoarded in America the Babylon -- in order for themselves and their families to survive.Many, of course, are fleeing violence in search of peace. Ignorant of our nations's history of iron-fisted control over nations to the south of us (or indifferent to it), Americans who want to build a giant wall and forget about the plight of people to the south of America the Babylon assume no responsibility for the dreadful conditions the USA has imposed and perpetuated upon their Latino brethren and sistren.
From my perspective at least, this odious pattern in America's history is relevant to the points you have made above.
