... that there is a difference between "barriers" at border crossing points and a "wall" between two countries?

Well, it seems apparent that you don't.

While you are being truthful in your statement it still seems to run a bit counter to her current opinion, no?

I don't think anyone believes we shouldn't have border crossings that are "barriers" that keep certain people from entering the country.

Nice to meet you, now you can say you know someone that believes in open borders.

Having known people who have worked at Customs, I do not believe in open borders. There are things people try to get over-the-border that make "barriers" necessary.

HRC is referrring to "illegal iimmigrants" about whom she speaks very disparagingly

They are why there are barriers at borders. "Barriers" at border check-points have nothing to do with immigration - they have to do with keeping a certain element from entering the country even temporarily.

I'm an American living in Toronto. I have passed through the "barriers" that exist between Canada and the US hundreds of times. I had to be prepared to prove my identity, my residency, my citizenship, and to answer any relevant questions about why I was traveling to/from another country.

This is a bit of a last gasp, I think. Gather up the stuff lying around in the corners, and fling it as hard as one can!

Most every member of Congress supports enhancing border security, Hillary is not alone in this. In case you've never been to the border, it already looks like this;



and sometimes just this



There's nothing wrong with this. Many Americans support a sensible border strategy, but one that treat as those that do make it across humanely.


That is not this

The (yes, somewhat silly & exaggerated) vision Trump has of his keep-the-Mexicans-out plan, and to treat them as essentially subhuman in the process. To say that Hillary supports this, as Amborin is doing i nthe DU tonight, is Grade-A horseshit.
