The White House is planning to put spikes up along its existing fence in an effort to keep undocumented visitors off the grounds. It's a hateful and misguided effort rife with prejudice and discrimination.
People who come to the White House do so as an act of love, to affirm their connection with our nation. Many do so in search of a better life, and their presence only improves the White House. A country that is a nation of immigrants must also contain a White House of immigrants, no?
But with a stout fence keeping people out, who will cut the lawns at the White House? Who will perform maid service? And who will perform janitorial duties in the Situation Room? These are jobs Americans won't do.
The White House chooses to stigmatize these undocumented visitors. Yes, they could wait in line and show an ID to get in, but asking for identification is clearly racist, especially for blacks and Hispanics, who don't have identification like white people do. The White House should tear down the fence altogether, relying on a "smart barrier" – cameras and sensors – to keep track of who is entering the grounds. At every entrance to the White House should be a sign-in sheet where those entering have to put their names and addresses and check a box indicating whether they've ever been convicted of a felony. As long as they haven't committed any crimes, or at least say they haven't, why should this be a problem? After all, our own homeland security department is vetting undocumented immigrants largely relying on those immigrants' own self-reporting. Why not do the same for undocumented visitors to the White House?

(Obama) continued, “You know, they said we needed to triple the Border Patrol. Or now they’re going to say we need to quadruple the Border Patrol. Or they’ll want a higher fence. Maybe they’ll need a moat. (Laughter.) Maybe they want alligators in the moat. (Laughter.) “

No need for cameras or senosrs even. They should just dig a 3 foot moat around the WH with a Keep Out sign and post border patrol agents every 100 yards around the perimeter...: )
For future tea party heads?
Didn’t the First Lady just say that the White House is the People’s House?

Shouldn’t this be something they do at our southern border?
The moose was using ‘Peoples House’ in the same sense as Mousie Dung used ‘Peoples Liberation Army’.
All fifty-freaking-seven of them.
The White Mosque; built by the American taxpayer,
controlled by Islamic terrorists, al Qaeda
and the Moslem Brotherhood (Nazis) and the
undocumented (NOT even a valid SS#) impostor
will eventually have a poisonous moat, alligators,
and rattlesnakes on its lawn.
Sure they can keep trespassers out of the WH but we can’t keep them out of the country, towns or cities.
Oh, the irony.
This hypocrisy will be bold, large and be wrought of iron (or is that irony).
At any rate, the way the rodeo clown manages things, the new walls will probably become a problem for people trying to get out when one of his visiting buddies goes "full ISIS".
Isn’t it amazing that a fence can work as an effective barrier to keep the riff-raff out and protect America’s King and Queen?
But the King and his minions tell us that fences won’t work along the Mexican border to keep the riff-raff out and protect everyday Americans.
The only people our leaders care about our #1 themselves and #2 Anyone who is not pro-America.
