The most important thing in a family unit is compromise, otherwise you'll never get along with your family at all. With politics, it's very difficult. My parents have differing views to mine on many different subjects, most prominently in politics, and it's no different this time.
People will change the world, not politicians or presidents or prime ministers. They're just robots. No wall is gonna help anyone. People focus so much on the now, and wanting to make the present better, for mostly selfish reasons. The truth of the matter is that the generations to come will be the only ones to see a real positive change in the world. It's our job to curate it for a short while.
Build a wall and it'll just come down the same way the Berlin Wall did. Change takes place and humanity always wins. Old men in suits and ties with grey hair and bulging eyes will do nothing for the future. They'll just complain, change a few laws around about stuff nobody really cares about at all, and life will go on, with or without a wall, with or without a child-sex-ring-supporting president who changes her opinions on society as fast as she changes clothes.
And then ISIS will come along and blow us all up because those same grey-haired morons were let loose to decide how we were going to deal with them. And then new generations will come, and hopefully, in who knows how many years time, we will start again, and hopefully not mess it up this time.
The answer is to stop being so bloody selfish.
