It works because Israel is essentially a police state. It would work in America too if we became a police state, but I don't want America to become a police state.

It's less the wall, and more the guys standing on top of it with guns.

The difference being Israel is much smaller, funded by us, and is a far-right warmonger surrounded by countries it has hostile relations with. Perhaps if we get a really good deal on wall material, Trump may be able to skim enough fat to fund the wall and enough guards, but Israel can afford to go American-cop on any Arab at the border and America can't. Then again, we aren't dealing with suicide bombers.

"but that's racist"...and..."we're all immigrants here"...and..."what if the native americans kicked us out and didn't let us in?"...
its an echo chamber on the left. pick and say whatever playground comeback you can think of off your cuff, then throw in "racist", "bigot", "misogynist", or "draconian"..they will never listen to a voice of reason. never have. never will.
