It seems to me that the national discussion of this topic has been unitive, not divisive.
Massive majorities which cut across all the normal societal division lines have been demonstrated to support enforcing the law, deporting lawbreakers, and sealing the border.
In what way is that "divisive"?
Mrs. Gridlock (AKA My Favorite Liberal) and I disaggree on almost everything. But we agree on this.
The media needs it to be divisive. That way, it will stew and brew and fester, and they can report on the ill will and chaos that results.
Think about it. If everybody was happy and fullfilled, the media support would drop off dramatically.
To a great extent, they make their money by praying on the fears and discontent that people have.
It is divisive because it is not a liberal stance. All liberal stances are moderate and fair. Anything in the middle or right is ‘controversial’ and ‘divisive”. Fixing social security is controversal, but leaving it be to go bankrupt is not. Monitoring terrorist by telephone is controversial, but letting people from muslim states into the country through the southern border is not. When the media are only surrounded by leftists, their faulty beliefs become the norm.

Indeed, the vast majority of the country appears united on this issue.
