If Border Walls Don’t Work…

Why do over seventy countries have them?

No introduction needed for this wall…

 Israel built a wall for border security…

1700 miles of this has been installed by India, to deal with immigration and smuggling.

USA Today gave this partial list early last year:

•Finland: About 450 miles of barbed wire fencing prevent reindeer from wandering across the border into Russia.
 
•France: The mile-long wall at Calais was funded by the United Kingdom to prevent migrants from accessing the Channel Tunnel that connects Britain to continental Europe.
 
•Morocco: A 1,700-mile sand wall fortified and surrounded by millions of land mines was built by Morocco in 1975 along disputed, ungoverned territory on its border with Western Sahara.

•Spain: More than two decades ago, the Spanish government built 20-foot concrete barriers to wall off Melilla and Ceuta, Spanish-administered enclaves in Morocco since the 15th century, to increase border security against African migrants. 
   
•Saudi Arabia: In 2014, Saudi Arabia built a 550-mile-long wall with Iraq, a response to the rise of the Islamic State militants sweeping across parts of that country.
 
•Turkey:  A buffer zone splits the island of Cyprus and its capital Nicosia between Turkey and Greece. Nicosia is arguably the last city in the world physically separated by a wall.

Those are a few of the walls around the world.  The assertion that walls “don’t work” has been disproven many times.  If border security walls are, indeed, “immoral”, perhaps the Vatican should tear down its huge wall.  Even the race card has been used, calling a border security wall “racist”.

The arguments against a border security wall between Mexico and America are nothing more than political posturing and noise from those promoting “open borders”.  Border Patrol officials agree that a wall and additional border security resources are essential.

LEGAL immigration provides a means by which people can enter this country, and assimilate. ILLEGAL immigration facilitates drug and sex trafficking, terrorism and crime.  It also creates a significant financial burden on taxpayers.

BUILD THE WALL!!!
