A wall in itself would not necessarily be racist, and might even be sensible policy in places, but deployed along with rhetoric identifying groups by racial and ethnic stereotypes, encouraging fear and loathing, then it becomes so. Making "Them" pay for it also has an authoritarian and punitive appeal for people who want to punish the "invaders" too.

 So you claim to know the "real" goal of the wall? 



But I do agree it is quite authoritarian and authoritarianism sucks. Which is why I'm not voting for Trump and definitely not voting for Hilldog.
