    If walls don't stop crimes, why do all the liberals in congress, and Hollywierd have walls around their homes? Why do Hillary and Barrack both walls around their homes?

    for the same reason i have a privacy lock on my hello kitty diary. it wont keep out anyone determined, but might prevent a crime of convenience. its harder to escape via rescaling that wall with a bag of heavy loot than it is from a house where you're just going to go out the same window you broke in through, and no further obstructions.

    youre better than the argument you wrote runaway, dont be lazy

    Yeah, because those folks certainly haven't committed any crimes. Those walls are working great!

    You are missing something important: *scale.* A nation is not a single house. There is far more that goes on inside a country than inside a single residence. Single residences do not have, for example, immigration programs, to begin with. Fewer than 10 people (I hope...) live in a given normal-size house.

    This comparison is not only not right, "das ist nacht einmal falsch" as the saying goes...
