But might as well make this debate 20 pages long and compare away if it strikes your fancy.
My guess is that you don't know any ranchers is south Texas. They have property destroyed all the time.

Additionally, it has been proven that walls do work. The border patrol has documented that border walls reduce illegal crossing at those locations.

How anyone can compare the two is beyond me. "Famous" and rich people are targets all the time.
The US is the national equivalent of whoever the most famous person happens to be.

Oh, yeah, and it's Gateway Pundit again. Double
You bet it is. Same as building a wall to keep people who are not welcome. If they want to come to America they get in line and come here Legally.

Apparently building a fence around private property is identical to building a wall along a country border.....it still wouldn't stop those that wish to come into the country since most people that are here illegally came in through the front door.

When Zuck lets anyone that walks into his house (ISIS or not) come in, take up residence, and then starts feeding them and providing a monthly check, then I'll consider him less a hypocrite.

This is what we're dealing with, people. lol. If you can't grasp the concept of what you're supporting, good lord.
It was so confusing yet you understood exactly what he was saying.

What next, are you going to go all Grammar Police on us?

Because a private residence should function the same as a country? That is just silly and wrong. I think you guys are either using the term hypocrite too loosely or you guys don't know what hypocrite actually means.....

To be "left wing" is to be a hypocrite, but they think it's OK. They really won't argue the point with you, they know they are hypocrites.

I built a pool house for a rich state senator. The hypocrite drove a Prius to the State Capital every day and came home to his 10,000 square foot McMansion with the heated pool. He had a heated driveway too. So his gas meter was a high enough capacity to heat 5 normal homes for him and his wife. This is so he had a warm pool and dry driveway in the winter.

And then he went to the state capital and preached global warming. You can't make it up.
