The leaders of Thailand and Malaysia agreed on Friday to boost security cooperation and consider building a border wall to combat transnational crime and smuggling, an idea that appears to be gaining popularity elsewhere in the world. People-trafficking and the smuggling of contraband, including drugs and petrol, have flourished along the Thai-Malay border for years until a crackdown by Thai officials on human traffickers caused some of the routes to shut down last year. Analysts say separatist insurgents operating in Thailand’s deep south use Malaysia as a base to launch and plan their attacks.

Walls can be built and if properly designed and guarded can be quite effective.One needn't look any further than East Germany and North Korea for proof.The Rats don't want a wall because it would lower their potential voter base.Some “Republicans” don't want one because of cheap labor.

Thais are crazy. Let them deal with it THEIR way.
