Ignoring the US issue for a second, how is it that Israel’s wall is controversial, and Egypt’s is OK? Both are trying to keep the same people out.

Fast forward to January 21, 2009, and the story reads...

Hundreds of thousands of illegal alien continued to flood across the open border today, unchecked. They snapped up food, fuel and other goods made scarce in America by a government already asleep at the switch and a new policy of Amnesty imposed after (Mccain/Clinton/Obama) seized control of the Presidency, yesterday.

Why is this OK for Egypt, but not for Israel?

That’s terrible! Many have denounced Israel and the USA for attempting much the same thing! I see a massive outcry against this terrible, inhumane deed! < /sarcasm>
No I don’t. It’s only bad if we do it.

It’s OK for a muslim to box in a muslim. It’s a muslim thing, we wouldn’t understand.

Gee, don’t they know fences and walls don’t work, at least according to the liberal dems and republicans in this country.

It is transparently ridiculous for people to so readily compare the radicals in Gaza to Mexicans.

It is a perfect symptom of what is wrong with the current immigration debate.

This threat is so much more serious— but the Mexican wall comes first— thanks.

Exactly. Where are the "Peace not Walls" idiots that are calling for divestment from Israel?

“It is transparently ridiculous for people to so readily compare the radicals in Gaza to Mexicans.”

Good point: after stripping stores like locusts, the Gazans went home.
And they weren’t running drugs or driving drunk and killing Egyptians or consuming Egyptian social services and jamming their prisons . . . . .
In sum, point well taken.
