Barriers And Walls

I honestly do not understand people’s strong opposition to building a fence, wall or barrier along the US-Mexico border. Besides the cost no one can seem to explain why it’s a bad idea. Not only would a barrier help prevent illegal immigrants from entering, but it would also help stem the Mexican Drug War from spilling over into the US – which anyone in the border states of: California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas know all too well has happened for years. So far the Mexican Drug War has killed 250,000 people with 30,000 more missing and displacing 1.6 million people.

-          Besides border barriers several countries of the EU have imposed internal checkpoints between other EU member countries despite the key provision of the EU being the freedom of movement between EU citizens throughout the EU. This would be the same thing as putting a border barrier/checkpoint and stopping Americans going from New York to Massachusetts or from Texas to Oklahoma, etc.  This is currently taking place between Austria-Slovenia, Austria-Italy, Denmark-Germany, Slovenia-Croatia, Hungary-Croatia.
