There has been a lot of talk these past 18 months about a wall. A wall being built that one country won't pay for and another country where the wall specifics exist in the ether of one man's mind. When I first heard about the wall being built on the southern border, many questions came to mind. Why? Who's going to pay for it? What's it going to be made from? That doesn't sound necessary. Sounds vindictive and interferes with commerce. But a wall a thousand miles long that can be averted by many ways and can't even be built in others? But the more I thought about it, the more a wall really does make sense. After 240 years as a union, it's time we take the originator up on the idea of the wall and start actually building it. But not where you think.
I used to fret that there would be a new secession of states in this country even though I lived in a state where it wasn't a consideration. There have long been state legislations who have taken up the cause to put together proposals to leave, but nothing has ever gotten much past committe work to be taken seriously. How would it happen? What would the federal government do? Would we have another civil war to keep the union together? Why do they want to leave?
This where I want to build my wall. I'm calling for the United States to implement a once every decade state relegation and start pushing states out of the Union that aren't contributing to an advancement of the Union. No more federal money is spent or allocated to these states. No more worry about what goes on within their borders. No more trade deals and certainly no more internet access for anyone who lives within the borders from companies in the Union. We put up physical borders on all the surrounding states with active border patrol agents and border gates. Anyone from the relegated states would now need a valid passport to come into the real United States. I'm starting with you Alabama, Mississippi [Historical and current racism], Illinois and New Mexico [Debt per capita] and promoting Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa. You want to be a part of this Union, you have to earn it and maybe the next decade you might be able to get back in. For now, enjoy your life as a free state and stay behind my wall.
