It's a nightmare going both ways.

And if you don't think the "Iron Curtain" wasn't there to keep people OUT then you are very mistaken.

"Westerners" didn't travel to Russia or any of the Eastern European blocks back in the Cold War days.

Just saying...wall do keep people out, but they do also keep us IN.

Mexicans have come across that border freely since the beginning of our country. It's only the last decade that all of this "border security" suddenly became a "problem".

The only "problem" I see is that U.S. drug laws have created a lot of violence. It used to be centered in Colombia so we didn't notice it as much.

But then we sent our military down to Colombia to help bust up the drug cartels there.

So now the Mexicans have taken that business over.

We reap what we sew with our constant interference in other countries and our govt's insistence on trying to tell people what they can and can't do in their personal lives.
