More like another case of BSer Trump talking more BS.
Well, in October of 1961 myself and a bunch of other lucky soles got a free trip to Berlin. I forget what that was about. Oh yeah, East Germany built a wall and it was pretty damn effective ! Those that tried to scale that wall were shot. Some made it across but not that many. I'm not saying that the Berlin wall was right, it wasn't. It was built to keep people in not out. But a wall that is patrolled properly can at least slow down illegals. Hungary recently built walls to keep migrants out and it was effective too. The funny thing is that if Mexicans try to get into the US the legal way, it's fine, but mobs forcing their way in is not.
Finally a common sense reply.
I was getting really concerned that responders here do not think that America is worth protecting. I still can't tell if they don't understand the danger an open border poses or they just hate Trump that much.
The Berlin Wall was hugely successful. It acted as a deterrent to most crossers and having it manned by guys that were authorized to shoot was a big factor in that.
Today our wall would be a deterrent to the casual border jumping trespasser but it would also have electronic means to monitor which would alert the border patrol that someone is messing around.
What is going to happen in the future when more and more caravans of would be illegal aliens keep showing up at the border expecting to be granted entrance? It happened again the other day when about 100 tried to force their way in but were repelled by tear gas.
Do you want someone that forced their way into the country, breaking the law being your neighbor?
A few brought up "the fact" that more guns are smuggled into Mexico then out of it so I would ask the Anti gunners out there, Don't you care about the poor people that will be victimized by those guns? A border wall would slow such illegal activities.
Others brought up that walls haven't worked since gun powder was invented... Ah we are not talking about an armed military force... We are not talking about Pancho Villa making a run into America to raid a town but who knows it could happen. Walls, barriers, fences all stop and prevent people from getting into places they should not.
Should the fences be taken down at the White House? How about the walls that protect Israel?
So far the consensus on this thread is that we don't need a wall which means people are Ok with illegal immigration. I think that is sad and dangerous.
Its been the latest attempt to minimize after no one bought into the NPC nonsense that the far right was doing. So I have been seeing the orange man bad nonsense show up lately.
Impeach him now. This is insane. He literally referred to "The military version of eminent domain"
Find a video of his Rose Garden Presser. I watched it, and the Guardian is incorrect.
It’s a typical Hit Piece - I always thought you were smart enough to for extreme Leftist Propaganda.

It was also pretty damn short and far easier to patrol with human sentries than the US/Mexico border.
