Ron Whitlock asks the Fmr. President of the Soviet Union (Speaking at University of Texas-Pan American): “President Gorbachev, if you agree that there’s a parallel between the Berlin Wall and the U.S. wall currently being placed along the border of Mexico and the United States what would you tell President Bush if he were here with us tonight?”

    Do we really care what an ignorant communist has to say about ANYTHING????? NOT!!!! Tell him I said go to hell.

    Maybe you can get …
    Maybe you can get out now. But there is still a few years ahead to see what could happen. The wall is not even finished yet. It is no more than 20 percent finished. Look it up. It is a mess and the US is 8 trillion dollars in debt already

    like i said before, …
    like i said before, dumbass, build it around your own piece of house.

    if all you want is for legal immigration, why the are you asking for an incredibly expensive wall that WILL NOT WORK! you should be asking for a way to legalize the millions who already live, work, and pay taxes here. that way, you would know exactly WHO they are and WHAT they’re doing.
    FYI; those 19 hijackers came in here on student visas, LEGALLY(!), and not through mexico. read up on it, idiot.

    Hey idiot, Why …
    Hey idiot, Why don’t you open up your house to who ever can steal in!! All us Americans want is LEGAL IMMIGRATION!! In case you have forgotten, as incredible as that is!!, 19 illegally stole in to this country and MURDERED 3,000 of my fellow country people!! If your “backyard” is in the way, i have two words of advice for the govt, IMMINENT DOMAIN!! If you don’t like a protected US please move out!!! By the way, what is Mexico’s policy on dealing with illegal immigrants…?

  7. kelevis Says:

    The difference, …
    The difference, moron, is that the US/Mexico border wall unlike the Berlin wall does not IMPRISON and SUBJUGATE the population. I wonder what the immigration policy is like in Putin’s Russia, where giving a speech like Mr Gorbachev’s that criticizes the government’s policies gets you locked up in the gulag!!!

    He would know about …
    He would know about military sucking a nation dry.

    -USSR in Afghanistan
    -the USSR & US conflict that gutted Cuba: they’ve begun a sustainable recovery in Cuba since the collapse of the USSR, as Cuba’s ecology & economy was decimated by the constant threat of US invasion.

    Everything went to military protections.

    Modern Cuba exports *intellectuals & academic specialists* for preferred trade agreements

    if you agree that …
    if you agree that building a wall is a good idea, demand that they build it around YOUR OWN city, county, or state. not around MY backyard.

    you can spend the rest of your life living in a bubble for all we care, but don’t drag us down with you.

    I dont know if you are aware of this but there are also legal and ilegal americans coming to live, work, play and of course avoid taxes in Mexico. There are at least 5 thousand now living in my hometown Merida,

There are at least 5 thousand now living in my hometown Merida. That should be stopped or regulated too. Americans coming to use resources from Mexico should not be exempt from paying taxes like everybody else.

    Migration is inevitable. Its in our best intrest to make the best of it, its like trying to control the markets in this increasingly global economies. Migration is both the consequence and the driver of economic development.

    YES IT IS!!! A wall is effective if properly done. A wall will make it clear “this is where the USA begins and Mexico ends” and the other way around. Right now there seems to be a problem with people drugs, criminals fleeing their country, and terrorists comming in. They are not respecting the USA its laws and its borders. My point is the USA,Canada, Mexico are 2 seperate countries not 1 like Germany.

    I sure don’t see 20% of the populace fleeing from the US, like Mexico has done.

    Are you saying the …
    Are you saying the one side of the wall (the outside) will be more effective than the other side (the inside) at preventing people from crossing it?

    So a wall that …
    So a wall that separates 2 countries is somehow more effective than a wall that divides one? :)

    The Berlin wall to the keep people IN not OUT like the US is trying to do.

    Not ot mention the San Deigo Wall has dropped crossings by 95%.

  24. firemanstud1981 Says:

    U idiot. The berlin …
    U idiot. The berlin wall seperated 1 country not 2.The USA and Mexico are 2 nations. The USA has every right as a sovereign nation to secure its own damned border. If Mexico was a good neighbor this would not be needed.
