Trump's Wall is Bad and Dumb

There is no 'crisis' at the southern border. Trump's wall the worst kind of government spending: a solution that does not work for a problem that does not exist.

Beefing up the department that handles asylum seekers on Southern points of entry would solve the caravan problem. He could do that relatively easily, as outlined here in the Atlantic.

Income inequality is the biggest threat to America right now, right up there with global warming and worldwide pollution. Immigration is an issue, and it can be easily resolved using existing mechanisms or new policy. Building a wall won't do a damn thing.

That's all you need to know about it. If you want bullshit from bad politicians then review comments from Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Shumer. If you want facts, read a decent newspaper. Subscriptions to the New York Times start at $1 a week.
