Making or Breaking the Wall

14:35 H | Topics: Activism - Immigration - Internet

border.jpgA recently launched website that claims to "represent both sides of the issue equally and will reflect public opinion of the border wall with a virtual representation" scares me. the website allows people to "buy a brick" on a border wall with the money going to an anti-immigrant organization. "Breaking a brick" will send money to an anti-border wall organization.

Last time I checked more people had contributed to building the wall than breaking the wall, but is this an actual representation of public opinion or a representation of who holds power and money? Do people who are against the wall, including the millions of undocumented and documented immigrants have access to the technology and money that is required to make this a real representation of sentiments?
