Protecting Borders = U.S. Conceit

The proposed wall to protect the southern border is drawing its usual criticism. Look at this article from the Los Angeles Times.

I love these words:

"The U.S. government has fostered an atmosphere of collective paranoia,
given a green light to its spies … and institutionalized torture," Salvadoran
novelist Horacio Castellanos Moya said. "The only thing missing was a
wall."

i.e. you are evil, you are an oppressor, but, we have an unquestionable right to violate your borders and live in your terrible nation.
