Ocasio-Cortez raises eyebrows after comparing Trump's border wall to Berlin Wall

They have razor wire at some prisons too. Why do we violate people's rights like this?

 

Not to mention animal migration being upended.

And the thing is this....Donald had control of the whitehouse with the Senate and the House being GOP held for TWO YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why didn't he get funding then? BECAUSE THE GOP KNEW THIS "WALL" WAS IDIOTIC.

Trump wants chaos because it takes attention away from the fringin' dumpster fire that his administration is.

 

So wait...we complained to the Soviets to tear down a wall that we(inadvertently) asked them to build? Wow, more you know.

 

So, are there better ways to stop unchecked immigration?
Walls can work, not always, but they can work.

 

The Berlin Wall was constructed in 1961 in response to JFK asking the Soviets to slow down the flow of Beliners flowing into West Berlin.

Pretty sure JFK was suckered punched and never saw a wall coming.

Occupied East Germany was no longer able to use the West as a pressure relief valve.

When the Trump Wall is built, Mexico and now Central America will no longer be able to use the USA as a pressure relive valve.

Unchecked? Illegal crossings from the south have been trending downward for over 15 years!

 

It's obvious California has a housing crises, not enough affordable housing for illegal aliens.

 

You're not in congress.
What are you flipping?

 

Gators in the Rio Grande perhaps?

 

Pet doors. Next problem.

 

I can't tell if you are joking or you really are this ignorant. Hard to tell in this forum.

 

Having just watched a History Channel special about the Berlin Wall last week, AOC certainly as a point. Trump is a simple-minded clown, and others are supposed to pretend he is a good leader. Sorry, I cannot.

 

So instead of a 50 foot tsunami, a 30 foot tsunami happens. And we should be content with that?

 

So the East Germans built a wall to protect themselves from the millions of West Germans who were dying to get into the Communist Bloc?

I didn't know that. Thanks, AOC!

 

So you look down on those who flip burgers? May I ask what you do for a living?

Mocking is not the same thing as being upset.

 

The commies built the wall to keep their people in.

The wall on our southern border is to protect us from the drugs, disease, and criminals of the third world. Our wall is a lot like the Israeli wall that protects them from the Muslim terrorists.

 

They'll have plenty of room to roam on either side of the border.

 

Your ratio is WAY off, and highlights the fact that border security is not a nat'l emergency.

 

Mexicans aren't strapping bombs to themselves and crossing our border, plus the Israeli border is much different in size and terrain. Not a good comparison at all. Add to that Israel is an apartheid state. Does the U.S. really want to follow that lead?

 

You really can't be that dense.

 

I thought the jury was still out!

 

The most disgusting thing about the Wall is that it won't work, it's not supposed to work, and that every sane person knows this.

The oligarchy wants immigrants - legal and illegal - lots & lots & lots of them.

So we have lots & lots & lots of them.

Every sane person knows this.

The Wall = Smoke & mirrors.

 

“I think it’s like the Berlin Wall. I think it’s like any other wall designed to separate human beings and block out people who are running away from the humanitarian disasters. I just think it’s wrong,” she added." I mean that's just a blatant direct call for people to be able to just stroll over the border! What are these "humanitarian disasters" that she speaks of? In ACTUAL humanitarian disasters, doesn't the US take in people as part of an organised humanitarian response where people are put on planes? Or do people just have to walk across the border? Does the unbelievably brain dead AOC seriously think that humanitarian aid will cease if a wall was built? My GOD!

 

We have 22 million illegals here now. It's chaos. We cannot absorb another 30 million by 2050.

We must have an orderly immigration process. Conservatives want a big wall, with a very large gate for lots of LEGAL immigration.

 

The Wall = A cynical joke.

A cynical joke that fools believe is a godsend.
