The US Border wall

[Xystus]

Well, if the wildlife were born in another country …

I get that this was a joke but we actually have laws covering this sort of thing. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act implemented the Migratory Bird Treaty originally with Canada and later extended to Mexico Japan and Russia.

I am beginning ot think that “google it” sometimes means: I am ashamed to speak of my sources.

Of course, that is exactly what it means. At least 99% of the time.

A classic case of “You can’t fix stupid.”

Yeah, the typical “NOT IN MY BACKYARD” Reminds of me of a few years ago, when the NRC put out that each State that has Nuclear Power Plants should have it’s own Burial Site. Everybody and his grandma started to scream “NOT IN MY BACKYARD”

Building a wall that physically and psychologically separates us from the rest of the world is not sustainable.

And the Great Wall of China serves no useful purpose other than a “Tourist Attraction”.

And the Great Wall of China serves no useful purpose other than a “Tourist Attraction”.

Are you implying that we too should annex the land on the other side of the border?

You’re right though, taking control of northern Mexico would make the existing wall serve no purpose.

NAFTA was a good policy.

Stinkcat, this where you and I part ways. Russell Athletic took advantage of NAFTA and now 90% if it’s products come out of Mexico instead of Alabama.

Dozens or more countries have built successful walls.

 

[JoshuaIsLord]

Does that make it right.
Should we follow these Asian and European examples?

Some are not walls at all, just fence.

The Israeli wall works just fine:

The Israeli wall works just fine:

What is the Israeli basis for building their wall?

Some are not walls at all, just fence.
How many are these are for anti-immigration?
How many are because of religious wars?
How many are because of race wars?

India and Pakistan - fence - threatening each other with nuclear war.
Georgia and South Ossetia - fence - should we be like the Russians?
Gaza Strip and Israel - Tensions are high there.
Israel and West Bank - Tensions are high there.
North Korea and South Korea - fence - Great Example there
European Union - just a fence - looks like most fences
Spain and Morocco - ?
Cyprus - another middle east fiasco
Morocco and Western Sahara - sand wall - bulldozed sand dunes

Ireland - separate Catholic and Protestant communities. Currently, there are 99 barriers in Belfast alone, as well as similar walls in the city of Derry. YEAH, let us follow this great example.
