As the U.S. government built its latest stretch of border wall, Mexico made a statement of its own by laying remains of the Berlin Wall a few steps away.

The 3-ton pockmarked, gray concrete slab sits between a bullring, a lighthouse and the border wall, which extends into the Pacific Ocean.

May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges,” reads the inscription below the towering Cold War relic, attributed to Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero and titled, “A World Without Walls.”

It is CIAs operation. Cartels own Mexico, CIA owns the Cartels.

Close the border, stop the flow, and criple the CIA.

Call me crazy, but I think there might be an easier way to control the CIA.

Good thing there isn’t a second, huge, undefended border on the other side of the United States that smugglers could easily use if they wanted to.

Why not remove power from the CIA directly?

At any rate, enforcement policies simply do not work in terms of effectiveness or money. Read Narconomics by Tom Wainwright. He’s an economist who looks at the drug trade like an industry, and he’s got a pretty thorough breakdown of how much these policies cost versus their effectiveness.

Not to mention that the way the CIA justifies itself is by claiming to protect us from all these shadowy evil foreign organizations coming to take your rights. Going all in on a border wall is pretty much endorsing their propaganda wholesale. It’s exactly what a lot of these CIA ghouls want–more money for their buddies in ICE.
