Sounds good.
After all, MEXICO allows its citizens to cross over, and it allows those from Central America to pass through.

Excellent idea!

What, we celebrate when the Berlin Wall is torn down, make that tearing down a symbol of freedom, then turn around and build a wall of our own...as part of Making America Great Again (MAGA)...?

We are becoming another Israel, building walls to keep out the Palestinians...we are not your sheep you know...your efforts to pen us in or out will always fail, we are not your subjects, to do with as you please.

"Pen us in or out"? What are you talking about?

And yes, the Berlin Wall coming down was celebrated because its intent to keep communism dissenters behind those walls so that they could not escape to freedom.

But if you're concerned about being penned up and kept from freely migrating to south of zee border, you have nothing to worry about.

There is just something about border WALLS that most humans find objectionable...human beings have been migratory for millennia...when conditions for living become intolerable, large swaths of humans MIGRATE for survival...it is built into our genes...artificial barriers will not keep us out if our survival depends on being on the other side...you may think you own us, and tell us where we can and cannot be, but who are you to tell us THAT...? Who made you LORD OF THE PLANET...?

Airplanes fly over walls. If you ever feel the need to survive somewhere else and to escape from this "deplorable" country , you can always catch a flight to Cuba, Venezuela or some other progressive-socialist-communistic mecca and apply for political asylum. Your fear of walls is irrational.

Tell me, do you own a home by chance? If so, do you have tall, solid fencing or even a wall protecting the perimeter of your property? Does your fencing or wall prohibit you from stepping out and "migrating" to parts and places beyond your property lines? If not, your fear of a border wall is irrational. The intent behind the wall is too help keep the bad guys out and control all immigration. The wall will not put an end to the lawful application process for legal entry into the country.

And, no, I'm not "lord of the planet" -- but perhaps lord of rational and logical thinking".

What the hell?

The Berlin Wall was there to keep people in.

Trumps wall, to keep criminals out.

Fences depend on where you live...most of Minnesota lacks fences because it snows a lot and they have more of an ethos of good neighbors...but neighborhood fences and massive border crossing obstructions are really apples and oranges and address quite different issues...the two ought not be conflated, logically speaking.

I’m not a Communist/ Socialist, never have been, never will be...in fact I loath both of them, especially Corporate-Too-Big-To-Fail Socialism/ Inverted Totalitarism which is what we have here in the US...The reason you don’t understand that America is Totalitarian is because ours is the inverted type like what author Wolin speaks of here...

It is illogical to presume that mass immigration is entirely composed of “before the crossing criminals”...And I assume then, that all are made into criminals upon entering into the country without proper application and approval from authorities.

While this may be the case technically, it doesn’t address the real causes for this massive emigration...which is largely the result of failed states from which these immigrants are fleeing...

In the case of Europe, most immigrants are fleeing Western backed Neo-liberal IMF financial strangulation and Neo-con economic constraints and political and military intervention and resource-target exploitation, aka, “resource wars”...

In order to properly address the issue of Mexican and South American mass immigration we must have the ability to see how Global Elites economic predation has worked its destructive “magic” there as well...

I don’t think it is very humanitarian to IMF a country to death, then when the ordinary people (victims) attempt to flee, our answer is to build a wall and turn a blind eye to our own Neo-liberal involvement in their Nation’s calamities...If Argentina was on our border, the Argentines would be flocking here as well

If you don't see the difference, there is no point in talking to you about anything.

Ever take a history class?
And pass it?
