This says it all, toward the bottom of the article:

Some of the people I spoke with expressed anger that their livelihoods are now threatened over a border wall fight. Interestingly, others don’t seem to mind too much. “I still prefer this to Trump getting a single penny for a wall,” one official said.(emphasis added)

I have to wonder if that ‘official’ was overseas behind a wall with Marines guarding the gate?

The State Department thinks they represent the globalist agenda rather than the United States.

There is a story about Reagan's Secretary of State worth retelling. New hires were supposed to go meet the boss as a courtesy before they were off to their first overseas posting.

He would ask them to point out the country they were going to represent on the world globe on his desk.

Invariably, they would point to the country where they would be posted. "No, goddamnit," he would shout and then point to the United States, "This is the country you are going to represent in the location where you are going to post. Don't you ever forget it!"
