Jails, concentration camps, and East Berlin had walls...I don't believe that your idea of turning the US into what amounts to a jail is the right thing to do. I believe that other ways are more permanent, and will not make my country look like a concentration camp.

Superb piece of hyperbole. I never said it had to look like a concentration camp.

So how do we, in your words, "control" our border. Laws aren't doing it. Hoping won't do it. What, then, do you mean by control?

Is it your ego that does not allow you to understand that others may not agree with everything you think?

I am not sure what you are saying here. Are you saying that the past experience of following this issue in the news is a figment of my imagination? I don't get your point. It is not what I think - it is reality. Control is control. That is not an emotion; it is a state.

An analogy for you. When is a dam not a dam? When it is full of holes. Like our border. You can't say the river is under control if the dam is full of holes.

BTW, the same could be said of you regarding this issue.

"Superb piece of hyperbole. I never said it had to look like a concentration camp."

Oh...so the walls and the mine fields suggested would make it look like what exactly?

Macy's?

Tell me...what places come to mind when you picture high security walls?

Jails?

Concentration camps?

East Berlin?

That's what you want America to look like, and I am not signing on to your idea. I believe that more border agents, better technology, better surveillance, and an aggressive foreign policy aimed at helping create a strong working class via shifting off shoring of US manufacturing from China to Mexico is a more permanent solution.
