A Great Wall

Share
The President refuses to do anything about border security. It takes him about eight days to respond to threats against this nation but about eight minutes to betray its founding principles and ideals for those of European socialism. Whether it was the pirates on the Maersk Alabama or the Times Square Bomber of 2010 or the assassination of Americans by drug lords in Mexico, he’s off to play golf, give speeches, and take vacation. He cannot be bothered to do his job. Instead, he’s out vilifying Arizona’s governor and BP Executives. Mr. President, you are the Chief Executive, and by definition it is your duty to execute the law, not to make new ones.

The wall on our border would solve some of our problems and help him keep some of his promises. A wall on the border is the most effective and efficient way to secure our borders. First of all, it would create jobs while we build it. Secondly, it would free up domestic jobs for the desperately unemployed because illegals would not be available to fill them. Walls have worked wherever they were tried. The Mongols had to ride all the way around the Great Wall of China to get in. Sparta’s 300 were able to funnel Persia’s millions into a tiny crevasse with a wall they built on the beach. Walls cannot be breached with wire cutters or driven through in SUVs. A wall was the main bulwark for Helm’s Deep and to protect Mordor in Tolkien’s novel The Two Towers. The problem is that the presidents promises were pandering and nothing more.

Walls work. A virtual frontier works against virtual aliens. A fence slows the flow but does not stop it. Build the wall. Some Democrats compare it to the Berlin wall. How many of them have been to Berlin and seen the Brandenburger Tor? The Soviets built that to KEEP EAST GERMANS IN. Is that what we’re doing? Trying to keep our people from fleeing the nation? Hoboken no. The arrogant hubris and presumption of these people who draw analogies to disparate things appalls me. These nitwits have no idea what it’s like to live in Germany under a foreign force or to worry about ethnic cleansing. That’s not what this is about. This is about the Law.

Once you breach the firewalls of the law, society ceases to exist. While we submit to police stoppage and searches in airports the bureaucracy gives aliens amnesty and aspirin. Mr. President- enforce the law. If we’re going to have them, you might as well enforce them against criminals and not just against innocent citizens.
