The Minute Men of 1775 protected America from foreign invaders (British) and a hostile, unjust government (the English Crown). Their counterparts of 2006 protect America from foreign invaders (illegal aliens) and a hostile, unjust government (the Federal and state governments). Losing this country to an influx of illegals in the 21st Century is as much a threat as its loss to British bureaucrats and soldiers was in the 18th Century. God bless the Minute Men.
Your comparison of a border wall to the Berlin Wall is ill conceived. The Communists built the wall to keep its enslaved subjects from escaping to freedom. This wall, if built, will protect free men from losing their freedom to hordes of Third Worlders. You might as well analogize the slave ships that brought Africans against their will to this country to the vessels that brought people seeking freedom and opportunity to our shores.

Yes, but the Berlin Wall worked...no one ran to West Berlin through the Wall. So would a border wall work. It would mean people who wanted to come to America would have to come legally.

Your comparison of the Illegal Aliens to "Foreign Invaders" is ridiculous and disgusting. They just want a better life for themselves and their families. That is exactly the same type of people who have created the America that we know today.
Your attempt to use fear tactics to promote your agenda is pathetic.

Thank you for this excellent point. Even the mention of a wall, Isreali wall or a US border wall, is assumed to be evil when discussing the issue with liberals or pro-illegals. They have no understanding of freedom, so they see no difference between a wall of protection and a wall meant to enslave or hold a population captive.
