I don't think building new walls akin to the Berlin wall is the "right" thing to do.
I'll stand with with Ronald Reagan and his speech that was actually heard around the world, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall".
Yes, you're right. A wall to keep those who have no legal right to be in this country is just the same as a wall designed to keep people from freely leaving East Germany.
Please. Nothing "akin" about it.
As Reagan his own self said "a nation without borders is not a nation."
I helped bring down the Berlin Wall, so I know a little about that...it was built to keep a people in, whereas a walled America would keep people out...sort of. Makes them two different walls.
It looks like you and I have a fundamental disagreement...yes? You don't see a need to stop the flood of illegals, and I do.
Am I correct? Or would you do something besides construct a wall to keep them out?
Curious minds want to know...
Big difference. "Mr. Gorbachov's" fence was keeping people hostage, captives to the savages within. Our's would be preventing the wave of criminals from entering to become a subculture, making us hostages to that subculture within our own nation. A fence would be PROTECTING the freedoms inside the fence, OUR freedoms, keeping us from becoming captive hostages of the savages from without. Let's see....20,000,000 illegals at a cost of $1700, each that's $34 BILLION. We can buy and police a lot of fence for that amount.
