To equate the Berlin Wall with a border fence along the southern US is foolish. Repeat after me: "The Berlin Wall was designed to keep slaves of the communist IN; the US border fence will keep illegals OUT."

The Berlin Wall was the outward appearance of the internal decay eating away at the "Evil Empire".

If the US does not enforce its laws, we will cease to be a country and will devolve into simply another brick in the UN wall of chaos and anarchy.

My point is .. at the time, if he had built a wall, he would have looked like a hypocrite to the world

Remember .. at the time many countries back then didn't like the US or Reagan either

"The Berlin Wall was designed to keep slaves of the communist IN; the US border fence will keep illegals OUT." "

OK, now repeat after ME: "the Berlin wall was to keep slaves of the communists IN and the evil capitalists of the West OUT. A fence will be to the slaves of the federales IN and to keep the slaves of the federales OUT."

What did you THINK the thing was for? If you're gonna kick and scream about the Bush administrations attempt since 2001 to BUILD the darned thing because Bush isn't CONSERVATIVE enough build a fence, at least know what a fence is meant to do.

It's like when you put a high fence around your yard: only good climbers can get over it. Or fly over it. And will. Like they did the Berlin wall. Funny thing about slaves: if they want to be free, where there's a will there is always a way.
