Walls Work

Just a quick note to all opponents of a border wall:  Walls work.  That is, they do what they're built to do:  prevent entry or exit. 

Now, we're not concerned about who leaves the country.  Concern about who enters and how is essential to the safety and security of our people.  And walls work to aid in that purpose, or else why would walls be employed in so many ways throughout the world.

We have walls around us.  We call them our homes.  The walls protect us from the elements as well as those who do us harm.

We have walls around our properties.  Some are fences of one type or another, while some people have actual walls of stone and brick.  This further protects the inhabitants while allowing more freedom of movement around the property.  The wealthy often have high stone/brick walls to shield them from those who might have designs on their stuff.  Many of these people oppose a wall on our border.  Hypocritical.  We see this with wealthy Democrat Representatives and Senators.  I understand Obama just put one up around his house, as if he's significant in any way.

I work near a large international airport.  There's a wall (a fence) all the way around the entirety of the land set aside for this operation.  It's enough land to be its own town.

There's fencing and walls around government buildings...like the White House.

Of course, there's walls around prisons.

All these walls do the same thing:  they prevent entry or exit.

Not a one of them is perfect.  That is, for the truly ambitious and determined, they all can be breached...climbed over, tunneled under, plowed through.  But that's a lot of work and enough work to dissuade many from attempting to enter without permission.  The fact that they aren't perfect means that a wall on our southern border would have to be 100% perfect 100% of the time in order to prevent some typical lying opponent of a border wall (i.e., a Democrat) from pretending a breach proves it wasn't worth it.  But that's just the sort of stupidity we've come to expect from such people.

Walls work.  What's more, a wall will force people to wait their turn due to the increased difficulty of enter our country at any other spot but a legal port of entry.  That's the point. 

Most Americans, including a majority of Democrat voters, want this level of security at our southern border.  The current shutdown, therefor, is not the fault of the president.  He ran for office on the wall.  Those who elected him expect that he will continue to push for a wall.  No.  Those "holding America hostage", are the Democrats, whose only reason for existing, it seems, is to thwart any move Trump seeks to make.  Being liars, they want to pretend a wall is somehow immoral, while allowing into our country those who engage in any of a variety of criminal acts is somehow not.

Dan, being the hater and liar he is, asked how anyone could believe a word that comes out of Trump's mouth.  He's one man.  How could anyone believe a word that comes out of the mouth of a Democrat, liberal, leftist, socialist, progressive?  They ALWAYS lie.
