The Wall of America

Does this really have a lot of support in America right now? Those who do support it, do they really think it will work?

It reminds me of a situation in Panama. There was a boarding school that had seperate dormitories for girls and boys. The boys liked to sneak out at night, and climb through the windows into the girls' dorm. Many teenage pregnancies followed. So, the school built a tall wall with razor wire on the top around the girl's dorm to keep the boys out. What happened? The GIRLS found ways to get out, and went to the boys' dorm. More pregnancies...

While I am not suggesting that many Americans will be trying to jump over the proposed border fence into Mexico, I do think it (the fence) fails to solve the larger issue(s). In the case of the school, the problem was not the midnight escapes/escapades, but girls becoming pregnant while still in high school. The border fence may succeed in keeping a few more illegal immigrants out, but in no way addresses the issues of those already in America, (un)employment, and immigrants who enter from other points. In addition, it seems it would only hurt US/Mexico political relations. I'm sure I don't have the solution, but there's gotta be a better way to spend a billion dollars.

Tell me what YOU think.
