Washington State University’s College Republicans put up a mock “Trump wall” to spark a conversation about immigration, prompting a counter demonstration from social justice warriors who said the “racist” wall made them feel “unsafe.”

“That’s really crazy WSU admin approves of a Trump wall on their campus,” Davy posted to Twitter. “That’s not freedom of expression that’s hatred … IMO.”

“If that Trump wall is up at WSU I cannot continue to give WSU thousands of dollars to feel unsafe,” Maribel added.

“I am SO disappointed WSU would let them build a Trump wall,” Maribel added. “That simply signifies to all minorities that they are in danger.”

The WSU College Republicans erected the wall Wednesday morning in front of the Glenn Terrell Friendship Mall, where hundreds gathered both in favor and in protest of the display. Counter protestors arranged a Unity Rally to denounce the wooden wall, which was made to look like brick and doubled as a large “Trump” sign.

Opposition included the Young Democrats of WSU, Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlan (MEChA), the Middle Eastern Student Association, the Black Student Union and others, the Daily Evergreen reports.

The anti-Trump students told the news site they wanted to make it clear that WSU is an inclusive campus that won’t tolerate Republican or conservative views.

“We are here to show that this is a place of inclusiveness and not exclusiveness,” Gavin Pielow, president of the Young Democrats of WSU, told the Daily Evergreen. “To show the College Republicans the face of the people they are offending. To show them that they are outnumbered, outvoiced and outvoted.”

Counter protestors toted signs that read “Free Hugs,” dressed in Statue of Liberty costumes, and wore orange ribbons to declare their unity against the school’s Republicans and denounce the Trump wall.

“This isn’t the right way to start a conversation,” said Juan Oronia, chair of MEChA’s Empowerment and Self-Determination Committee. “You don’t bring out symbols of hate to start a conversation.”

Instead of erecting a wall of “hate,” Oronia said his group offered an alternative activity designed to unify in opposition to the WSU College Republicans, according to Twitchy.

“Participants could also leave a thumbprint on a painting of a tree, which Oronia said showed that although everyone comes from different roots, together, they form a tree,” the Daily Evergreen reports.

Others spent their time venting about the Trump wall on Twitter.

“HOW WERE KIDS ALLOW TO MAKE A TRUMP WALL AT WSU??? THATS OUTRAGEOUSLY RACIST????????” Momma Jaask wrote.

“I love WSU this is home but the fact that theya re allowing this wall to go up makes me mad, where’s the pride in diversity you brag about,” Naye posted.

Some also alleged the wall was knocked down.

“Trump demonstration today in #WSU. Black Lives Matter protested back. At least the Trump Wall was knocked down,” Mohsin Ali tweeted.

Regardless, the Trump wall demonstration accomplished exactly what WSU College Republicans had hoped, it launched a conversation about immigration that was largely peaceful.

Will Goings, a student with the group, said the counter protest “doesn’t bother us.

“We are all being peaceful,” he said.

Other college Republicans shared their stories about immigrating to America legally, and explained why they believe everyone should follow the same path to citizenship, rather than a coyote through the desert.

“Hispanics can come to our country,” said student Fernando Reyes, whose family went through the five-year process to become naturalized citizens. “I’m Hispanic, my father came to this country and had me here, but they need to come here legally.”

Still others, including self-professed liberal Nate Hansberry, came out to support Trump simply because they despise career politicians and believe America needs better leadership.

“Trump is like a Republican Bernie Sanders,” Hansberry said.

University officials, meanwhile, provided a statement about the protest that discussed the “diversity” and “global citizenship” values of WSU, and highlighted efforts to accommodate illegal immigrant students, without taking any real position on the event.

“It’s important to remind ourselves, too, that diversity in all its forms benefits each of us. Interacting and learning with people from a diversity of backgrounds stimulates intellectual growth, encourages collaboration and fosters innovation – essential building blocks in creating community,” the statement read.

“Our university belongs to all of us, and we are all valued members of the Cougar Nation.”
