But two things: don't you think it's a little unfair to say "Berlin Wall"? The purposes are more than a little different. And don't you think the wording and image of "mass roundups and deportations", even though I think that's what SHOULD be done, evokes a middle-of-the-night knock in Nazi Germany that is unfair also?
No, it's not unfair. It's honest. I notice that you and others who don't want comparisons made to the Berlin Wall, react to the image. You don't deny you want a wall, but want to pretend it's for a more benign purpose. In fact, the purpose is identical, which is to control the flow of people across a border.
Throughout human history, going back to the Great Wall of China and Hadrian's Wall in England, such walls were always militarized. Always. A wall across our southern border would be also, and that's precisely the goal of advocates for a wall.
And don't you think the wording and image of "mass roundups and deportations", even though I think that's what SHOULD be done, evokes a middle-of-the-night knock in Nazi Germany that is unfair also?
Once again, you admit you want mass roundups and deportations, but are concerned about the image. I didn't say it evoked a "middle-of-the-night knock," you did. Clearly you know the public relations nightmare mass roundups would create, and you don't want to be thought of as being on the villianous side in this drama. It's a thoroughly dishonest position to take, because you want the President or someone else to do your dirty work for you.
You can sit back here on the internet agitating for something that would be disasterous on several levels, yet never get tagged as the real villian. You and your ilk are cowards, plain and simple.
