Big Bad Don

I am confused by the people who do not want to build more walls on the border or who want to tear down what has already been built. What do they really want?

Let me give you this parable: There were some people who lived out in the country. They had two large neighbors (one on each side of them) who were cattle ranchers. When winter came, it cost too much to provide hay for their cattle, so to save money, the neighbors cut down their fences to let the cattle fend for themselves and roam where they would. But free ranging was not free. The country folk between the ranchers soon had muddy trails caused by the cattle, and cow manure in the yards and driveways. Roads would get blocked by cows, and dangerous conditions and damage happened when the cows caused traffic accidents and barged into private areas. 

Children were not safe to play in their own yards because of the occasional mad bull. Law enforcement was busy answering calls by people complaining of cows wandering on their property.
