LeMaquis Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The Romans did it in Britain to keep out the scots and the picts who raided farms before it was built. Things have moved on a bit in the last 2,000 years though. Air travel for example. This article shows that illegal immigrants come by air on a visa. They become illegal when their visa expires and they don't return. http://www.forbes.com/sites/adamhartung/2017/01/28/why-president-trumps-border-wall-is-an-example-of-bad-leadership/#58e0634f78fd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bloke Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Also interesting to read how Mexico deals with migrants at it's own southern border. http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/09/10/deportation-detention-and-abuse-on-the-guatemala-border/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Ask Hungary. Since the construction of a fence between Hungary and Croatia at the height of the EU migrant crisis, migrants attempting to get into the country dropped from 138,000 a month to 15. You're not comparing like with like. The 2015 crisis was caused by refugees. Mexicans are not refugees fleeing a warzone but economic migrants looking for work. And they don't walk across borders. They travel legitimately and go through passport and visa controls. They just don't return when they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's potentially anyone from South America, as the southern border with Mexico has virtually no control at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 In your opinion , to many he is doing something what should have been done a long time ago. Including protectionism? Has it escaped your attention that your Brexit heroes like Farage have a policy that is the exact opposite, that being unrestricted free trade.

Halibut Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) In your opinion , to many he is doing something what should have been done a long time ago. Let me guess, his tiny hands and overt racism really turn you on. Or maybe you have a thing for congenital liars with a sideline in sexual assault.

crookedspire Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Trump's vision of walled borders has inspired me to think about building a wall around Sheffield it will be a thing to mavel at thousands will come far and wide to admirer it. Their will no exits as no one will be allowed to enter, it will take many decades to build and the pennies will be tight. It will become an one man's folly a bit like Trump's policies and his wall.

The Council Coffers should be overflowing with Council Tax payments by now. After all, t'council haven't wasted £tens of millions on a white elephant scheme for several weeks.

That has more to do with the deal with Turkey to keep refugees there. Its dropped off for everyone as a result. You also have the fact they have alternative routes through other countries, whereas the US is 2000 miles long and a completely different prospect.
