If he wants to build bridges in his country, go for it.
We’ll have a big beautiful wall on the border to ours, thank you.

Of course he does. Everyone trapped in a turd-world hellhole wants an easy escape route.

Easy for him to say. Millions of Mexicans aren’t sneaking across his borders.

When illegals start flooding Peru in the numbers we have, let’s ask their “president” if that is still his answer.

You beat me to it. Creating a prison for your own citizens is not quite the same as keeping invaders who would harm your citizens out. (Of course they know that, but ideology trumps sanity with these types.)

I bet he has walls around his estate, though.
To: BipolarBob
"Put that bridge where we can offload them by the shipload"My first thought as well. Let's convert old Navy hulks into prisoner transports - named Botany Bay I, II, III... and sail around the 3rd World offering to relieve their over-capacity prisons by giving excess convicts a free ride to Peru.
Also offer to transport their family members there, to encourage them to settle down long term.

There are a lot of Illegal Peruvians here. My neighbor is ICE and he said everyone would be surprised how many. Lots of Guatemalans too.

Exactly right. I’ve heard that comparison several times, but as you state, the Berlin wall was to keep people in, our wall is to keep illegals out. Huge difference. But then Leftists/Dems aren’t the smartest people in the world.

Kuczynski and his family move around at the elite level where borders are no obstacle. His first wife was the daughter of the forgotten Massachusetts Congressman Joseph Casey, which makes him the former brother-in-law of the novelist John Casey. His daughter Alex Kuczynski writes for the
New York Times. Somehow Pedro Paulo manages to be a brother-in-law of Nobelist Harold Varmus and a first cousin to film director Jean-Luc Godard. PPK is a graduate of Princeton and Oxford and a former investment banker.
People like him will always land on their feet. Others may benefit from borders.
PS Peruvians might be more likely to emigrate to Mexico, rather than vice versa.

I hope the Peruvians have improved their bridge-building skills since the time they built the bridge of San Luis Rey.
To: Olog-hai
That is a pretty tall fence around his presidential palace. I guess we could loosely call it a wall. It has big spikes on it too. Armed guards. What a hypocrite.
To: x
I’m sure that people once thought the same of Zedekiah that is thought of people such as Kuczynski.

Having a spiked fence around your palace make it much easier to shoot your opponents if they think about setting foot on restricted territory.
To: Olog-hai
As long as the bridge is to America.

“Yes. Wonder if Peru has open borders.”
It probably does, but it’s not a problem because no one wants to go there. If we didn’t have a problem keeping undesirable people out, we wouldn’t need one either.
To: Olog-hai
Attencion, Ecuadorians, Columbians, Bolivians and Chileans!
Peru’s borders are now open and they welcome you to come
partake of their land, hospitals, jobs and welfare system.
