Secret Service Plans to Raise White House Fence by 5 Feet

http://www.nbcwashington.com/investigations/Secret-Service-Plans-to-Raise-White-House-Fence-by-5-Feet-377329721.html

Secret Service: 'Current fence simply is not adequate for a modern era'

Trump Mocks Obama's Plan to Heighten Wall Around the White House

http://townhall.com/tipsheet/justinholcomb/2016/04/28/obama-plans-to-build-a-wall-around-the-white-house-n2155082

The U.S. Secret Service is planning to heighten the fence surrounding the White House after numerous attempts by fence jumpers to breach the property. Republican frontrunner Donald Trump reminded Obama that building walls helps keep people who do not belong out.

“President Obama understands that you build strong, tall, beautiful walls to keep people out who don't belong,” he wrote in a Facebook post. “People who get permission can enter the White House LEGALLY!”

Build two walls, say 100 yards apart, and make the space between them a free fire zone for any US citizen doing target practice.

..a sodomite emperor built a wall to keep the Scots out of Britain

a sodomite president won't build a wall to protect his own country.

strange how things go ...

>>Rome worked when foreigners crossed through its borders to become Romans. It failed when newcomers fled into the empire and adhered to their own cultures, which were at odds with the Roman ones they had ostensibly chosen.

This is a key point. And today, due to the preponderance of cultural Marxists in the educational system and Academe, we in the USA have forgotten how to teach immigrants, and even our own young, how to be Americans in the traditional sense. Self reliant, self governing, proud of our heritage, etc.

That image is not Hadrian's Wall.

This is Hadrian's Wall

They missed the point. All the walls in history were *not* supposed to keep out invaders, just to inhibit their entry *and* exit.

Such places were plagued by fast moving raiders, who would quickly enter, create havoc, then get away before a response could be made. But it took a long time to get over a wall in either direction, far longer than it took the “good guys” to descend on the “bad guys” and smite them.

But the US wall with Mexico is different. It *cannot* keep out all illegal aliens. But it is a very cost effective way to keep out 80% or more. That is, you get a huge “bang for your buck” compared to other programs that are far more expensive, and just get a small number of illegals.
