The border enforcement is not in and of itself imperialist. This is a bad faith engagement with what I think is a pretty clear argument.

Our border enforcement is a small piece of a much larger program of imperialism. We overthrow and destabilize central and South American governments which are not sufficiently pliant client states. Then we make a show of rejecting groups fleeing those conditions even though the vast majority of undocumented immigration does not happen via border crossing.
