You're just a walking money bag and opportunity to those who don't personally know you.

Have you ever had a fence up to segregate your property from your neighbors?

One wall is supposedly about protecting an entire country...theoretically.

The other wall is protecting a single person's private property.

How anyone can compare the two is beyond me. "Famous" and rich people are targets all the time.

Oh, yeah, and it's Gateway Pundit again. Double
Half of the population of Florida are realtors. And of course, they all advise you not to put a fence around your property because it will be taken as a sign of great hypocrisy.

You're talking about people who use the phrase "*******s." What do you expect, logic? Lol

People normally stop calling people "retarded" around grade 5.

Immature and in need of a hobby.

A wall around the Border protects multiple peoples personal property. A great comparison if you ask me.

Wonder how many guns Mark keeps in his house or does he just use armed guards.

While I agree this is a stretch to compare the two... the fact is that if there is no wall and no real enforcement of our borders; there is no national border at all. Right?

He built a wall around HIS property to keep people out of HIS property, for HIS safety.

Shouldn't we be doing the same?

Around the border? That doesn't even make sense. I think you mean along the border.

This is what we're dealing with, people. lol. If you can't grasp the concept of what you're supporting, good lord.

Considering how much it will cost not only to built it but maintain it over the years? And considering that it won't even work? No. It's idiotic.

Look at the violent crimes that occurred this week and tell me what percentage were rich and famous people.

If walls aren't a relatively good barrier, why are they used at prisons, the WH and rich neighborhoods?

Sorry, but a country border wall does not compare to a private property one. Not even close. The purposes of both are not the same, regardless of overlap. Nice house, lots of money - crime and stalkers - private wall. Border walls are to supposedly protect the country and citizens in it from "outsiders" stealing taxpayer dollars to plant themselves in the U.S. It isn't necessarily about protecting property.

But might as well make this debate 20 pages long and compare away if it strikes your fancy.

Borders are important for territorial sovereignty.
