The silly idea that fences don’t work probably needn’t be dignified with a response. Not even the idiots on the left are so deficient as to believe it. They’re just doing what they do; spewing nonsense because they don’t have anything intelligent to say. It’s a given.

Maybe someone should whisper to the Pope that hypocrisy was particularly hated by Jesus.

Just for reference ... The entire east side of Vatican City (only 109 acres, btw) is wide open. The wall was built during the 9th century to keep Saracen pirates out. It was partially opened as the Muslim threat receded.

Zoos have walls. The liberal PETA group should complain that the animals are being denied their freedom to roam.

Walls do NOT work.

That’s why put them around prisons.
