So it’s less building more wall and more like “upgrading the technology/what we have”

We could just not spend it. Why do something stupid that breaks a tonne of laws?

What if instead of investing in walls, cameras, high-tech border security systems, and other suchbullshit, we invested in helping people?

That would be ideal and I'm all for it. For most of US history, as long as you were coming from the "right" countries, immigrating here consisted mostly of making sure you weren't sick with anything serious, giving out your papers, and sending you on your way. It's a traditional value we could use more of.

It’s sad that people are unwilling to see this as part of our long and ongoing history of appealing to prejudices and our worst natures.
