A new report on President Trump’s proposed $21.6 billion wall on the border with Mexico is the clearest evidence I have seen so far that Trump’s obsession with undocumented Mexican immigrants is based on false data, and is aimed at stirring up racial panic for political gain.
Until now, most critics of Trump’s planned border wall cited studies showing that about 40 per cent of undocumented immigrants have not entered the country by sneaking across the US border with Mexico, but arrived as tourists, and overstayed their visas.
