You're right that border policies aren't inherently racist. I still highly believe that the motivations for the wall are exclusively racist, which makes the wall racist too. Also, calling the wall border policy is a bit of a misnomer, isn't it? Since border policy is meant to have an actual effect on immigration, like the wall will fail to do in any kind of significant way?
