Immigration Rallies

I can see how the average Trump supporter would view today's rallies as the product of uninformed liberals calling for open borders and lawlessness that will eventually lead to the demise of our country as we are overrun by people fleeing dysfunctional countries south of the border who will eventually deplete our financial and social reserves. I can see how the average anti-Trump supporter would view the events leading up to today's rallies as the product of uninformed conservatives forgetting what makes this country great, up to and including how the struggle to make it in America contributes to our very fabric, GDP and overall wealth and well being. To me, both points of view are correct and incorrect. We can't be completely open and we can't be completely closed. That being said, I think the more essential leit motif of today's rallies is that, either way, we cannot afford to lose our humanity as we implement the policy at hand. Whether we are open or closed, we have to remain uniquely 'American' in our ways.
