>Apparently not enough that previous administrations stopped the maintenance and infrastructure for border security, and other countries have and are building border walls.
Let's stick to USA. There is a lot of nuance when it comes to migration. Border security =/= building a literal wall.
> A wall may or may not be the most cost effective deterrent
That's an understatement. But more importantly immigration "problem" in usa is completely manufactured bs for conservatives. Not only immigration trend from mexico has reversed as more people are leaving the country than entering, but more importantly net economic impact is either not existant (if you look at reasearch from conservative think tanks) or positive - if you look at anyone else research. The main reason why immigration is such a big talking point, because it hits conservative emotional triad - fear, disgust, otherness. It''s very easy target to point finger and say "look at them, that's why your life sucks" and ignore serious nuanced systemic issues.
>The Force is Female t-shirts and various interviews do support the claim that inserting feminist politics into the files was part of the problem, at least.
Force is female t-shirts came from The Archer Film Festival which is a high school student film festival dedicated to empowering female filmmakers. In 2017 Nike launched the add campaign. That's a huge fucking reach dude.
>Including minorities isn't the issue. Including minorities 'because politics' is something done by ideologically motivated people who are restricted in what they can write, and therefore generally write poorly.
Can you substantiate your hypothesis by any research? Or is it just anecdotes again?
I agree with you that feminist politics is being injected into alot of media, which often dishonest and manipulative.
But I will point out that if you really want to cut back on illegal immigration maybe America can stop destabilizing Latin America every time a Latin American country elects a leftwing government, the US starts pulling crap them to get them over thrown while giving their backing and praise to right-wing dictators that torture and steal from their citizens to give to the rich.
And then Americans complaining about illegal immigration after helping to wreck other countries is a self inflicted problem.
Europe's own immigration crisis was caused by America continuously screwing around in the Middle East with regime change wars back up by having no meaningful plans for rebuilding and peace after each war, which leads to more wars.
