How is the Bush "Wall" any different than the Berlin Wall?

Maybe Canada should build a wall to keep out American draft dodgers... This is all so silly. Walls!! Isn't' t there a better solution than walls. What century are we in again??..

fences. walls, what's the difference.. it's still silly.

I live in "Canada" real close to the border....so what's your point.

Instead of just whining why dont you just give an alternative solution that may actually work?

Oh and to help you think of one... forget about "letting people cross freely" or any similar overtly pro-illegal BS.

The Berlin Wall was to keep people from escaping from the East side to West Berlin and freedom. A border wall will help slow the flood of illegal 'immigrants' and drugs across our borders. It is not a perfect solution, but they have yet to come up with any other good ideas.

LOT of difference! The Berlin Wall kept people imprisoned within. The wall at our border will not keep people out or in. It will stop illegal entry by all, including terrorists, drug dealers, gangs and other criminals as well as people who just want to forego the legal procedures. Our wall will be a form of border CONTROL.

have you a better idea? if so, please find one of my questions and let me know. i doubt it but you have no problem criticizing the way our government decides to handle it. you people argue about illegals then argue about a fence! who gives a damn, they dont belong here if they want to be americans then they need to surrender their country to America and join us. if not, stay the hell away you beggers! we made our country like this, dont come here and try to **** it up. change your problems at home yourself. if the american government was not doing a good enough job for me then i would rise to overthrow it. 200 years and still goin baby.

When did Bush say he wanted it? I thought he was the open borders guy? Did he start all this by saying the word amnesty?

I think the Great Wall of China is a better example (and solution).

who cares as long as it works, and stops all these bums looking for welfare, out.

The Berlin wall was designed to keep people in. The wall on the Mexican border will be designed to keep people out. However, Bush will never try keep people out because he wants a North American Union and dissolve the sovereignty of the United States.

The "Bush Wall" is to keep people out whereas the Belin wall was to keep people in.

The Berlin wall was built to keep people prisoner in East Germany. The Mexican wall is designed to keep people out.

As others have already stated...Bush wall will keep unwanteds (terrorists, illegals etc) out. Berlin wall was to keep the people in because they were NOT a free people. That's a HUGE difference.

Berlin Wall = keep people in
Border Wall = keep people out

The Berlin Wall was built to keep people in East Germany and shoot them if they tried to leave even for a visit to West Germany. The US border wall protects our border from invasion by illegals that can harm both our ecomony and people because they have not been screened to ensure they are not dangerous criminals or just straight out leeches. It will not keep anyone from legally crossing to visit or from applying & entering with LEGAL work or residency visas. It also ensures there is enough room for legal & deserving immigrants from other nations besides Mexico.

I love how people who live nowhere near the border all have opinions on the subject.

well we cant shoot at anyone trying to cross it...yet.....keep your fingers crossed. With death on the line I believe they would immigrate legally.

The Berlin Wall was designed to keep the people of the communist side from going into the free side. The "Bush Wall" is designed to keep illegals OUT. I'm sure you would prefer machine guns placed on the border to shoot illegals as they cross, but as much fun as this might be, it would get world opinion against us. Maybe you could write me and divulge your plan to secure our border....
