Wait, what? You mean the great wall of China, the Berlin wall and the wall around the Vatican arent all exactly the same!!?? WTF?
Not sure why you cant/wont acknowledge the fact that all of these walls, while different, share the exact same fundamental purpose: to impede the movement from one area to another. Just like the Berlin wall did and the proposed southern border wall would do. That is how they are similar. Because they share the same purpose. Its really not that hard. Anything else you want to throw in there cannot change that fact.

You remember you yourself saying that chump's 2k mile wall was a stupid idea because of the intensive manpower requirements plus machine guns and landmines etc required to actually make a wall work, as demonstrated in Berlin, right?

Re: Political meme thread for both sides (Except Benchdick)
Sure, that hasnt changed; to do that for 2000 miles is retarded. A continuous 2000 mile border wall is ridiculous and dumb. A physical barrier (wall) in targeted areas and staffed appropriately (motorized patrols, electronic surveillance and armed personnel) is the proper and effective route. Pair that with more resources to process illegals and reformation of the abused asylum system and you have the correct way to go about mitigating our illegal immigration problem. For areas that are so incredibly remote and desolate a wall is not needed as electronic surveillance could handle the job just fine.AnalHamster wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 12:11 pmYou remember you yourself saying that chump's 2k mile wall was a stupid idea because of the intensive manpower requirements plus machine guns and landmines etc required to actually make a wall work, as demonstrated in Berlin, right?

And before you say it: I dont care if that is the Democrat plan. It is the plan that will work and is needed. Trumps idea of a continuous border wall is dumb BUT wall sections (appropriately staffed and monitored) are a critical part in curbing the illegal crossings. Denying that is just as dumb.

Fence sections appropriately staffed and monitored are also known as the status quo. It is pretty effective, and would be a lot more effective if the dem bills promoting exactly that had passed. Denying that is indeed dumb and you are the advocate of the dummies.CHEEZY17 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 12:24 pmSure, that hasnt changed; to do that for 2000 miles is retarded.

Yes, to try and secure a 2000 mile border berlin style is ridiculous and dumb, and also the only way to actually secure that border against illegal crossings, since being a coyote is a high margin industry and they can afford to bus people away from the small sections you choose to secure. That's why the dem policy you support makes more sense - secure the actual ports where the majority of smuggling occurs, because if you can carry it in a backpack it's really not on a scale where fucks need to be given. Fentanyl is lightweight enough that a wetback can literally carry it in in significant quantities in a backpack, but why bother with that when you can just post it. The cartels use light aircraft, submarines and the US postal service, a wetback in a backpack is really not the major problem. It's about people coming in search of a better life, not smuggling, and the solution is to better handle people who've crossed. Bounce them back, with due process. Prevent them working by going after employers. It ain't rocket science.
I never expected you to care that it's the dem plan to do what you advocate and you'll be instead voting for the GOP plan, which you call retarded. Just pointing it out.

Yeah, I mean again dude, you are simultaneously trying to argue against CQ for pointing out the Berlin wall is a ridiculous and contrary argument for the trump wall, and agreeing with him. You are recognising the difference, you have said so. The berlin wall and the trump wall are both walls (other than one being a fence), and yet you can still see the difference and have admitted it.

Yes, they have differences. But both are cars and both are walls (barriers, fence, whatever). Both, in both instances have the same objective. They are different, yet the purpose and objective is the same.AnalHamster wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 1:15 pmYeah, I mean again dude, you are simultaneously trying to argue against CQ for pointing out the Berlin wall is a ridiculous and contrary argument for the trump wall, and agreeing with him.

Both things are walls and both things are cars. But both things have major differences that make them poor comparisons.

Because another way of putting that would be 'I agree with CQ, AH and the democratic party'.
