The Berlin Wall? What are you? A inhumane communist? Landmines? Dogs? Automatic guns? Is that your idea of how a free, life respecting country presents itself to the world? Erich Honecker would have loved you dearly. You might have qualified as smootch material for him, too.

The Berlin Wall was built to keep individuals in, I would like to see something similar to the Berlin Wall that keeps illegals out.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Seriously... you don't need a physical wall, you need a financial one. If it isn't profitable to hire an illegal immigrant, or to be one, they won't come.

Bingo. Put people that hire illegals behind bars after fining them out the ####### - tax them 100 times what they paid the illegal under the table. Put businesses that employ illegals out of business - tax them to death - leaving the market to those that hire people eligible to work here. Raise the stakes on the exploiters and there will be no offers of employment for those that are not eligible to work in this country. Without any chance to make a buck, they will not come. Plain and simple. Americans get back to work and pay taxes. Use that additional tax revenue and the money saved on this ridiculous wall to pay down some of that debt. Done.

It was inhumane and indefensible either way you look at it. Pucker up. Erich loves your kind.

I think you really know what Why_Me meant. Walls and fences are just one item among a whole laundry list that needs to be done to get illegal immigration under control. Physical barriers do deter unauthorized entry. Why make illegal entry easier than it already is?

But I suppose you don't lock the doors or windows to your house? You just leave it to laws and sanctions to keep the creeps out of your place?

Does your house have a fence? Is it to keep stuff in or is it to keep stuff out? Or is it just there for decoration?

Sheriff Joe is my hero. But I don't wear pink. Seems kind of gay and effeminate to me. Good guys wear white hats. Yup! That's the ticket for me pardner. White hats only.

Maybe Obama will give you a pink hat?

No surprise a crook with a badge who intimidates and threatens his opponents while people die in custody in his jail cells would be your hero.

He meant what he said - he would like to build a mega Berlin Wall along our southern border. Either you guys don't know a first thing about the Berlin Wall or you are the same type of inhumane species as Erich and his followers. Aside from the fact that what may have worked to your liking on a 100 mile stretch around West Berlin would not be doable on a 2,000 mile stretch along our southern border, advocating the cold blooded and indiscriminate killing of fellow human beings is not something I would be proud to stand for. Especially not if the solution is much easier if this country really wants to address illegal immigration. Go after the enablers and profiteers. And do that right. You guys on the other hand would rather see blood.

If he is really doing all the things you accuse him of...why is he still in office? The Three Stooges (Obama, Napolitano, and Holder) have repeatedly investigated him and he is still there.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Because the guy is adept at manipulating the media to hide the ugly truth that his policies are not effective and that he is indeed a crook. His department has been found liable for numerous deaths and serious injuries in his jail cells and there is evidence that his deputies has "lost" records pertaining to many of those incidents. Sheriff Joe himself has been found personally liable in at least one of these cases and has had to pay damages out of his own pocket.

He's a crook Peejay, but you're too far up your own ####### (and his) to see anything except complete shite.

Why is he still sheriff? Why isn't he in jail if he is murdering people and committing crimes?

Who is "you guys"? Who is advocating cold blooded and indiscriminate killing of fellow human beings? All I saw in the post was reference to a mega Berlin type wall.

In any case, sans the sniper guards, physical barriers do deter illegal entry. It may not be practical or appropriate for the entire border, but it can and should be utilized along with other deterrents.

Because he's innocent? You really are a tool

"You guys" are those that make demands to install a Berlin Wall along the southern US border. And in doing so, you advocate the cold blooded and indiscriminate killing of fellow human beings. That is precisely what the Berlin Wall stood for. It was effective largely due to it's virtually assured death component. If you take away that virtually assured death component (the snipers and the autmatic guns), it would neither be a Berlin Wall nor have the efficiency it is celebrated for in certain circles. Trust me, I grew up looking at that monstrous construct each and every day. Whenever you make a trip to Berlin, be sure to stop by the Wall Museum at Checkpoint Charlie and then come back here and tell me that this is what you want the US to replicate.

I'm all for building a nasty fence with barb wire or tall wall along the US-Mexico border. I wouldn't use landmines and automatic machine guns, but I'm all for securing the border efficiently in addition to legislative measures that address unlawful employment, among other issues.

If you don't believe in fences, we shouldn't put them around our military bases. All we would need is a law that punishes anybody who enters without authorization or steals from there. Oh, wait, we have those already. So let's take down all fences then.

As he should be. There is a lot of $hit piled up around that guy.
