Everyone wants strong borders. The point of contention is that the proposed wall will be a waste of money that won’t solve the problem.
Why do Liberals keep saying this all the time? How do you know it won't work if it hasn't been done yet?
3-4 years ago some dumb liberal experts were saying that the wall couldn't physically be built. That's really idiotic coming from an America that put a man on the moon 50 years ago!
Simple common sense tells us that
a wall WILL WORK. There are so many examples to show that it works!
Here are some examples:
Israel-West Bank: The border wall — actually much more a security fence — was constructed in the wake of the 2001-2002 terror campaign in Israel. Almost immediately, the number of successful terror attacks in the Jewish state dropped by 90%.
Today that success rate is up to 100%
Morocco-Algeria: Morocco fought a bloody insurgency and terrorist campaign sponsored by Algeria’s and Cuba’s Cold War proxy, the Polisario Front.
The Polisario became ineffective, however, after Morocco built its famous
1,700-mile system of sand berms, fences, mine fields, and ditches.
Cyprus: It was the United Nations which built a wall dividing Cyprus between the northern Turkish portion and the remaining Greek section after Turkey invaded and occupied parts of the island nation in 1974.
India-Pakistan: India and Pakistan fought wars in 1947, 1965, 1971, and 1999, that collectively killed millions of people. The two sides have had a more than three decade-long standoff on the Siachen glacier and several skirmishes elsewhere along the disputed border.
Because Pakistani terror groups regularly try to infiltrate and wreak havoc in India, India constructed a border fence and wall system to keep Pakistanis out. That’s a good thing, because nowhere else in the world could a simple border incident so quickly escalate into nuclear war.
Turkey-Syria: Throughout the 1990s, Turkey faced an escalating challenge from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a group leading a Kurdish insurgency against the Turkish Army. Indeed, Syria only seriously cracked down on the PKK when Turkey credibly threatened war.
Turkey subsequently reinforced the border with fences, mine fields, and no-man’s land, and it worked. The next 15 years was largely quiet. It was only when Turkey’s leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan removed many of the defenses and turned a blind eye to border security that the terrorism problem in Syria—and its subsequent blowback inside Turkey itself—grew so great.
Saudi Arabia has just
built a wall along its disputed border with
Yemen to keep Yemeni-based terrorists out of the Saudi Kingdom.
India has a
long-standing border fence with
Bangladesh to prevent illegal immigration.
Hungary has built a fence to protect its borders from the recent avalanche of illegal invaders from the Middle East and Africa.
Greece maintains a heavily protected border with it's long time enemy,
Turkey.
Spain has fortified it's enclaves
(Ceuta and Melila) in Morroco.
And one of the most famous walls of all, the
Great Wall of China was also built to stop invaders.
IT BLOODY WELL WORKS...
