How does reinforcing borders and reducing illegal immigrants equal "wall off the world"? Exactly which part of it is against American laws? The kind of logic people use nowadays.

Does that mean racist as well?
Don't forget dumping TTP, NAFTA, ignoring our commitment to the Paris Accord, and trying to pull out of the UN.
Wall ourselves off from the world? Sure we can. It's called Taking America Backwards. We're going to mine coal and make pipe while the rest of the world builds cell phones and high tech products.
It's going to be really, really great. Really Great.
Anytime I see a spelling error, my first thought is auto spell correct. Drives me crazy how it changes my correctly spelled words into something unlike my intended word. So I give others benefit of the doubt.
And active choice of what we do =/= isolationism.
Apparently a nation practicing immigration control is now called isolationism.
We can't hide behind walls because we are scared of people who look/pray/speak different or because we are afraid they will compete with us for jobs. That's the reality - for better or worse - of the world we live in today.
Isolating ourselves from the world will create a void that will be happily filled by China, Russia, and new organizations like the proposed CANZUK union. Canada doesn't need us, Mexico doesn't need us ... but we sure do need the free movement of goods and people. Would you rather pay $20 for a head of lettuce or $1,000 for an iPhone?
All across the world (except for the US and Western Europe where Russian propaganda has successfully led people to cower in fear of anyone who looks or speaks or prays differently) countries are uniting and forming unions. In Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Bloc we have the Union State/Eurasian Economic Union. In Latin America we have CELAC, UNASUR, ALBA all of which are closely aligned with Russia and China and led avowedly anti-American leaders like Raul Castro and Nicholas Maduro.
We're endangering our national interests because some rubes in Kentucky and Alabama are scared of Muslims and Mexicans and/or were too stupid to learn marketable skills. Donald Trump isn't make us great again, he's taking us backwards towards becoming an irrelevant rump state. An American version of North Korea. But hey, as long as we stick it to the darkies and the Muzzies it's all good right?
This has nothing to do with 'fear' of people different from us. It has everything to do with economics and public safety.
As for "rubes in Kentucky and Alabama" ... It is exactly because of snotty, ignorant statements like this that Trump got elected.
IMO Trump is going to peeve off most world leaders resulting in them not wanting to do business with the USA.One may think we have all these problems but in reality America is still the greatest country in the world despite what Trump says and is where most immigrants choose to move, and where most people are quite happy with the status quo..
