STAR INVESTIGATION: As long as jobs here are plentiful and lucrative, even a solid wall won't keep illegal entrants from crossing over

Let’s start with the “Great Wall of China”.

How about “Hadrian’s Wall” that the Roman Emporer Hadrian built in England in 122AD? It was about ten feet thick and almost twenty feet tall. As you can imagine, it did a pretty good job of keeping out their “Barbarian” neighbors. In fact, you still have to go around or over the parts of the wall that haven’t decayed and crumble...

I remember very well when the wall was built and recall that it absolutely shut down foot traffic across the border between East and West Berlin. In fact, if you happened to be on foot near the wall (on the east side), they would simply gun you down. To the credit of the despotic regime that built it, it worked well. It kept “those nasty liberty-loving imperialistic capitalists” out by the droves (and it kept in those “liberty-loving slaves” behind it too). Oh, sure -- a few hardy souls managed to circumvent the wall by risking their lives; but, on the whole (and despite an easily countable number of escapees), the wall worked as designed. We must acknowledge the fact our cowardly quaking (and I want to say qwacking) Congress finally coughed up a few bucks for a short fence along the US/Mexican border. However, the point is that the liberals in government have yet to conjure the concept of the importance of this exigencey. Funding for each inch of the fence has to be ripped from their hands as if it were torture to have to protect your own country. Let’s use the slow speech approach again….our country….is being…invaded! A border wall must be built that cannot be super
