When I first arrived along the U.S. Mexican border, encountering inland "border checkpoints" on U.S. highways was shocking.
The influx of illegals into the U.S. from south of the border was and remains a serious problem as exemplified by the ongoing debate inside the United States as how best to stop the inflow and how to deal with the huge population of illegals already arrived.
Bombastic rhetoric on both sides of the illegal immigration and amnesty issues generally omits referencing a serious threat to American's Constitutional Rights. Not-the-least of which includes our Traditional Heritage of exercising the right of free travel.
Now, when confronted with the U.S. Mexico border fence, consider that while it may keep illegal aliens out ... at the same time Americans are kept from leaving.
Without joining the criminal ranks, one now can only enter and exit through tightly controlled inland and border check points. Now domestic travel, especially on airlines, shows how foreigners can dictate to and force America to self-destroy Constitutional barriers between government intrusion and our rights to privacy.
The fence symbolically is reminiscent of the Berlin Wall.

The sword cuts both ways.
While "they" can't get in ..."we" can't get out!
