Very simple answer.
One to keep people (Berlin) from getting out. Penality for getting caught is death.
The other to keep people (Mexican wall) from getting in
Penality is a hot meal and a free ride back. |

You should try reading some history instead of a constant diet of propaganda.
The Berlin wall was built to keep the subjects of the communist state from escaping, which they constantly tried to do. This is of course very similar to Mexico in that people are constantly trying to escape from there.
The wall here is intended to assist in the enforcement of current law. Don't you support the enforcement of the current law? |

It's the same as the difference between your front door on your house and the cell door at the county jail. It all pertains to who you want to stay where. |

The Berlin wall was to keep people in. The US border fence is to keep people out. |

The Berlin Wall was meant to keep East Germans IN EAST GERMANY. The Mexican wall is meant to keep illegal, criminal, trespassers OUT of the USA. |

It was the commies who built the wall.
The fence is not to keep people IN and will be on the border, not splitting a country.
There is no similarity, but there are too many differences to list. |

Berlin wall kept both sides out and in.
This Mexican wall is to keep one side out-- odd thinking. |

M Shadows hit the nail on the head....
The Berlin Wall kept people from escaping. The soon to be built wall along the US Border is enforcing safety.
If you can not see the difference then you are morally blind and I am sure you believe in a world with no countries and just one big UN government held with socialism ideals so no one in the world owns anything we are just kept around to work for the New world government |

Berlin Wall was done against the residents within a country. Mexican wall is done to illegals trying to force their way into another country. |

It is a FENCE. A great deal of it will be a VIRTUAL FENCE. It is being built to keep illegal aliens (people who break the law) out, not to keep people in or to stop legal immigration. Try to get this through your head, we will all be happier. |

The Berlin wall was to keep people IN; the Mexican wall is to keep people OUT.
The Berlin wall was a sign of oppression; the Mexican wall is a sign that our government is finally giving a crap about what its people have to say. |

Perhaps instead of a wall just put in a revolving door. For as soon as some are sent back they are back in the US before the Border Patrol can turn around their cars and head back. It will not change just look at the fences they have now. They would have to put gun posts every 100yards and have tunnel detectors set up to stop the flow. It would be easier to just nuke Mexico and get it over with or just open the border and let them all in. Its a no win situation whatever way you look at it. |

The Berlin wall kept people in.
They would shoot people who crossed the Berlin wall. |

The Mexican wall does not seperate a city within a country or divide a whole country. |

See history 101- So why do you lock your doors |

Huh. Did you even go to school. They are being built for two different reasons. The Mexicans are flocking to our country at alarming rates. |

The same difference between you locking your door at night to keep unwanted visitors out and a jail cell locking you in.
How dare you lock those poor burglars and rapists in jail, away from you!
That's not hostility, but sarcasm.
It's your position, shown back to you, that sounds so ugly. |

If the Mexican government built a wall to keep their people IN their country it would be the same. |

The Berlin wall divided a country, the Mexico wall is dividing two countries to try to enforce set laws. |

No wall is tall enough to protect us from ourselves. Today humanity needs more bridges than walls. |

well, the Berlin wall separated communist Germany from free Germany... the Mexican wall is to keep illegal immigrants out. as we have a problem with illegal immigrants coming into our country. there is a big difference. |
