The Berlin Wall was quite effective for its purpose.
Yes, and so were the machine guns........................
All three have been reportedly seen briefly with duct tape on their mouths.
I see Kamala Harris was confronted with her tweet after the Juicy Smuglette situation was proved to be a hoax perpetrated by him, and she was speechless and gave the signs that she might actually be one of the puppets behind this charade.
Does she ever retract her stupidity after she posts it? Has she commented on how NYC lost billions because of her stupidity? Has anyone even asked her for her comments?
I can see it now with the little section of wall that has been built each Dem Presidential nominee candidate showing up in 2020 for their little photo op at the wall proclaiming “tear down this wall” Very cute.Hope they do it because then Trump can savor it in the general and pound them with the photo as the open borders candidate.
Wall! Like gag me with a spoon!
Or maybe Jimmy Hoffa style?
OUR wall with Mexico reminds me more of the Great Wall of China. It kept the hordes of barbarians OUT for hundreds of years.
Another key difference is that East Berliners could not go to Check Point Charlie and apply to be legally admitted to West Berlin.
Hell, I’ll buy the one way ticket to anyplace outside of the USA !!!
The Left has to believe that allowing the folks out of East Germany was immoral. They were the designated criminal class trying to flee Utopia.
Actually Vlad did have a certain style — and his wall of impaled humans did serve as a deterrent to keep the muzzies out.
The story goes that when the muzzies came into Vlad’s country and saw the wall of human shish-kebabs, they said to themselves, hey this guy is crazy, we’re getting the hell out of here.
And they left and I remember correctly, they did not attempt another invasion.
T^he plowed zone helped, too. I have long believed that a wall on the Mexican border or perhaps just a 2000 mile long field of concertina wire backed with machine guns and fronted with mines would be an effective deterrent. It would only take a couple of failures to transit before the efforts would stop. Many lives would thereby be saved as people would no longer die in the desert trying to get around the fortified zones.
People would still try.
And would try ingenious schemes to defeat the wire, mines and bullets......................People died trying in East Berlin.......................
Different situation. East Germans were trying to escape actual ubiquitous oppressioin. Latin Americans are trying to get to MildandHoney land. They are much less likely to risk their lives to get on welfare than the Germans were to escape prison. The continuing problem will be tunnels for drugs and sex slaves. That is much easier to take care of with an already in place harsh border.
