We have had walls built in other countries in our world. Some have been taken down, such as in Berlin. Jerusalem has a wall and we support them. So why are we having such a hard time with the walls on our borders? I thought we wanted a safe country!

So we should copy the Communists on how to control a population? You do understand that the Berlin Wall was meant to keep people in, and it was a monumental failure, right? The wall in Jerusalem is several thousand years old, and is mostly useless. The majority of illegal aliens in this country come from Europe and Asia. A southern wall would not fix that.

Also, half the illegals here are from overstaying their legally issued visa. A wall will do nothing for that.

I don’t know. From what my grandpa said, it was quite effective.

OK, let us look at some of the alleged reasons for a wall;
Stop drugs and criminals
No, it will not. There is far too much money involved to do that. Wall or no wall, the drugs will still come in.
Stop terrorist.
No convincing evidence of terrorist coming in over the southern border. 9-11 terrorist were here legally, as were the others since.

No, a wall is a 5th century solution for a 21st century problem.
Do I want stronger immigration policies? Absolutely. But I want solutions that work and are humane. That is who we are.

PFC James (LURCH) Janota To answer the Why is easy- Politics. It has nothing to do with security.

Another words, it’s a business model more than a safety concern.

What’s the purpose of politics? Are politicians serving the citizens that they represent or the big money players that put them in office? PFC James (LURCH) Janota
