It's just so unfortunate that, as we get adjusted to this global economy, that the U.S. is even thinking about building walls.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Building walls isn't going to work in the long run. Some people are happy with the wall in Israel, but somebody will get a weapon someday and knock it over or something. Walls aren't the answer between countries, though.
Instead of building walls, we should be building bridges.
In the 21st century, we can't create security by building walls.
You don't build walls; you build bridges between people.
I think there's kind of a simplistic, kind of knee-jerk response that all you have to do is build a 2,000-mile wall, and problem solved.
A globalized world is by now a familiar fact of life. Building walls or moats may sound appealing, but the future belongs to those who tend to their people and then boldly engage the rest of the world, near and far.
Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls aren't there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to show us how badly we want things.
I know there's a lot of discussion about building a 2000-mile wall. I think we need to complete the Secure Fencing Act, but we need greater technology and aviation aspects down on the Southwest border so we can see the threat from the sky. Until you can see it, you don't know where it's coming from and how to correctly stop it.
Here in America, we don't give in to our fears. We don't build up walls to keep people out.
We build too many walls and not enough bridges.
