The same tired links that you’ve been copying and pasting for months? Those links? Unless they change the basic laws of physics, you can keep them.

Do tell, how successful were the following “walls”?:

-The Great Wall

-Hadrian’s Wall

-New Amsterdam Wall

-The Maginot Line

-The Atlantic Wall

-The Berlin Wall


I’ll save you the brain-aneurism and help you out; they were all utter failures.

Figures that you'd deny the truth even when the facts are thrown in your face. The links I provided are first hand experiences with the good walls in place. Must take a special kind of stupid for anyone to be proven wrong and yet still remain in denial.


Most of the examples of the walls you posted were successful and served their purpose for a long time. The Berlin Wall wasn't even built for the same reason as our southern wall. Those walls were built long ago and our expertise and building products have improved a lot since then. Keep trying and denying though it's fun to watch.

Lol, you can’t even discuss history without interjecting insane amounts of bias.


All of those walls were built at monumental expense, sold to the public with propaganda, and were ultimately massive failures; just like your point.

The only amusing thing here is the desperation on display.

Many decades ago, the Yellow Pages Sales guy would come into my store and show me his little notebook with stick figures in it. He'd show me the first page and say "see, this stick figure is you and this is your customer"...and the book went on to lots of pages of stick figures.

This thread is like that book...the one we told him to shut quickly. No kidding that book was set up for idiots. No wonder that whole business went the way of the Dodo bird.

Most of us watched Sesame Street - but I'm thinking maybe many deplorables missed it. There are many life lessons in that series but this one is especially important...

"One of these things is NOT like the other, see if you can guess which one?"....

I have to wonder if "conservatives" realize these types of statements or threads are actually doing the opposite of their intended goals...that is, they are showing us a very simple way of thinking that doesn't reflect the real world.....and insulting our intelligence at the same time.

The analogy the OP has made is very apt and shows the absurdity of opposing the wall. Walls do work; they are used everywhere in the world to keep people in or out. That is why prisons have walls and we do not "tear down the walls" of prisons.

The left often embraces such ridiculous views, such as "drilling for oil in the US does not reduce gasoline prices" or "welfare doesn't reduce the incentive to work" or "NAFTA will reduce illegal immigration and be great for the American middle class".

Yes, but I have no tunnels underneath my home for transport of illegal goods rendering my home secure.

Well that was the Secret Service, not him.

Imagine the walls they are going to build for Trump when he is out of office.

Yeah, they will probably be the walls of jail cells.
