The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Well, it must have worked. How many Mexicans are in China?
As and that's my main problem with Mr Trump's fans' "wall." Historically, they've been used by governments to keep folks IN.
Draconian enforcement of the immigration laws, with particular attention paid to non-compliant businesses and those making use of the welfare state illegally, would be prime.
Historically? No. Only Communist states of the last century have ever had "walls" to keep their people in. Certainly the Great Wall of China, Hadrian's Wall, the various linear defenses of the Russians against the Tatars, and city or town walls in the thousands over human history were all to keep enemies out.
