Moore’s law at its best — the science behind fitness became a concept. It China glove knitting machine Manufacturers would keep Mexicans from coming into the US. I don’t know if walls can do this. There are nowadays ladders of all sorts — wooden, metal, mechanical, self-elevating, wall-hopping to let you down the other side etc. Then there are helicopters and boats that go round the wall by being in the sea.Of course, Trump and his "wallabees" will argue that there are also machine-guns, searchlights and watchtowers, just as there were along the perimeters of Nazi concentration camps — we’ve all seen them in the movies, haven’t we? Then there are anti-aircraft emplacements to shoot down helicopters and there are coast-guard patrols to blast unwanted boats out of the water. Some of these enforcements are bound to work and some of them, as is the world’s experience, along a border which extends to 1,950 miles and a coast which is 3,000 miles long, are bound to fail.
What perhaps even Trump’s followers may not know is that already their Mexican border has a 580 mile fence along it, one the Mexicans didn’t pay for.Trump’s wall was endorsed by his friend Sarah Palin, the Alaskan candidate who aounced that she had heard of the Great Wall of China which hadn’t let even a single Mexican pass.The Berlin Wall, built by the East German regime, was constructed to keep people in, rather than out. The population, a groundswell as Frost would have it, tore it down in 1989 when it became clear that the troops maing it would not slaughter the mobs intent on demolishing it.
The wall came down and Germany pronounced its reunification.Those two, and perhaps Hadrian’s wall built in British Roman times to keep marauding Scotsmen from launching raids into England, are famous. Lesser known is the fact that India is still in the act of building a 2,500-mile barrier of a three-metre-high barbed wire fence, reinforced with concrete, along its Bangladesh border. As with Germany, divided after the Second World War, this "wall" is a consequence of the partition of Bengal which may have entrenched itself along religious lines, but is still testimony of the economic disparity that compels populations to cross the porous boundary.No surprises in pointing out that Israel has built 450 miles of concrete wall and forbidding barbed wire along the borders of its settlements in Palestinian territory.
