East Germany's wall kept their citizens in. It was not designed to keep the people of West Berlin out. Secondly, the wall simply symbolizes in a very visual way the policy of no exceptions for illegal immigration. The point is that if they cannot emigrate from Mexico to the U.S., then their corrupt government will be forced to deal with them, likely through insurrection. Lastly, illegal immigration from Canada is hardly on the magnitude of the flow from Mexico (on the order of 8 million plus from Mexico versus approximately 70,000 from Canada). Any wall for Mexico would be on a smaller border and for an inflow of over 100x that of Canada. That doesn't mean that Canadians shouldn't be stopped from illegally immigrating here. All illegal immigrants should be stopped. But you focus on your biggest problem first.
