Who is being bullied? Oh wait... a bullying tool against... Illegals?

Tough, they are illegal, they have no rights in the US because our protections are not for enemy invaders, they are for Americans.

Understand?

How is supporting the prevention of an illegal foreign invasion "hatred?"

And ponder this... Trump voters just sent an IMMIGRANT new First Lady who speaks with a thick foreign accent to the White House. Can't get any more diverse and inclusive than that.

"Xenophobes," my ass.

Typical projection, from people whose own worldview is infested with hate.

I fear it will be used as a bullying tool against any minorities. You think school kids care if you are an illegal latino, or an legal one? I can assure you they would have no idea, and could care less.

To want the wall built to keep illegal aliens from coming here is teaching our kids to be xenophobic bullies? WTH?

Please describe this so-called hatred of "others"?

It makes sense to build a wall to people who are presented with the problem for the first time. It's the simplest sounding solution and one that's been employed by humanity since the beginning of time. Obviously these kids haven't had exposure to this controversy or, if they did, there was never mention of anything negative caused by uncontrolled borders. I'd say the administrators/teachers could use this as a teachable moment but I think they are too scared to say anything that might make them sound less than liberal.
