We can always tear down parts of the wall later...perhaps using parts for infrastructure.
It seems to be always "us against them" under this leader.
Let's keep some of our American humanity.

From

Armageddon Came Stealthily
“Freedom is the right to tell people
what they do not want to hear.” ~George Orwell
Once upon a time in a land called
Earth, a species known as hominid developed and populated the great
globe. Surviving travail and cultural crises, the societies rumbled
forward – many individuals and groups striving for the betterment
of mankind. There did occur apparent deviations from global empathy,
but the other sectors of mankind continued to right their vector
momentum and crusade toward higher goals of mass survival and
opportunity to thrive as both individuals and congregations.
The criteria focused upon uplifted
values and ethical perspectives for both mankind and the Earth. As
the citizenry grew, New Thought in the molding of ideas acted as a
placebo in calming and guiding the more highly educated and
industrialized beings. With the study of this domain of knowledge,
presences could choose thought patterns and people with whom to
associate. This path carried them away from the hubbub of troubles
and daily engrossment in procuring the needs for base physical
continuation and those of remedially soothing influences on emotional
drives. Preoccupied with attainment of beliefs and systems of
convictions of truth, and with confidence in this habit of mind, the
inhabitants with all the privileges of free men became less aware of
other activities in their realm.
The great institutions of learning had
categorized knowledge, functionality, reasoning, and had even
established schools of remediation for aberrant intent of cogitation.
Within this finely tuned paradigm developed a tumor-like deviation of
being whose thought processes did not house the ability to experience
empathy. The vast scholarly institutions held that this was a
psychological impulse of will, could be corrected, and went about the
business of formulating treatments to reestablish balance for the
individual, and thus, society as a whole.
Insurgency began to arise within small
numbers of natives who disagreed with those within the great halls of
understanding and their comprehension of truth. Straying from the
hallmarks of data and using primitive observation, these rebels began
to formulate a new idea – one divergent from the psychological
treatment vectors. This new concept began to take shape as those
within society reported horrific anguish from contact with a
differing strain of hominid. In these encounters, individuals found
themselves mesmerized, deprived of their original self-hood,
callously used, devalued while following
the best and highest forms of their
belief systems, having their values and purposes shaken, and then
unceremoniously “left for dead.”
Rarely could aid be found to salve the
damaged psyches of the victims, for the true believers of the old
psychology formats simply were unable to fit the data into their
stable and well acknowledged schools of belief. Could it be that this
uncustomary encounter with a divergent strain of citizen could be
more than a mutual tangency with an abnormally motivated being? What
if an influential drive was not the root, but an intrinsic style of
operation? How were the majority of presences to relate to this, and
more to the point, how were they to protect themselves from emotional
harm?
These relationships proved unavoidably
destructive to the well-being of individuals and filtered to society.
The insurgents pooled efforts, information, and unified contact to
discover an amazing similarity with experiential reports. The strange
behaviors of a group of beings whose common description could be a
total absence of empathy began to form the base of understanding an
event-horizon for any who remained in contact. The most honored
notions of forgiveness could not hold stasis and a return to valued
normality with this uncharted manner of conduct.
To remain viably humane and uphold the
values of their domain, the primary citizens recognized that the
exclusion of “the others” was not an option and yet, there might
be no rehabilitation possible for this new strain of presence. They
would need to define a new application of learning which might offer
tools to formally acknowledge actions coupled with intuitive feelings
of those coming in contact with the alien co-citizenry.
In addition, techniques would be
required to heal the damaged persons left in the wake of such
predators. The glorious past eras of golden virtues might have faded,
but a fearless approach to handling the challenge of meshing two
entirely foreign ideologies for joint survival on the globe called
Earth would stand as a gateway. This ascension would bring change to
the tried and true beliefs of the departed generations and perhaps a
tarnished overview of life as that given by the prophets and teachers
of great creeds.
Today
would prove an opening to a road of awareness. Knowledge, itself, is
not power, but the ability to use that information and to do so with
righteous intent would mark an evolving humanity as it strives to
incorporate the incompatible into a new world. We, the insurgents are
not the same. And so, it begins......
