“Crowdfunding for federal priorities is a bad idea because it opens the government to private influence and lets Congress accomplish goals outside the appropriations process.” This is the best way to summarize my feelings. Just because a group of people raised some money to do something, doesn't mena that act is just or meaningful to anyone else. The wall that trump want's to build will help no one but his own ego and his campaign promises. It's a barbaric way to try to fix a modern day problem.
