Navarrette: Border walls have limits, in the U.S. and in Israel

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 13:48:15 GMT

What does the vicious sneak attack by Hamas terrorists against Israel — which has sparked a new eruption of the old war in the Middle East — have to do with U.S. immigration policy?Quite a bit, actually.As a Mexican American journalist who has written about immigration for more than three decades, I have for many years heard Republicans and, yes, also Democrats imply that border barriers are a kind of silver bullet, arguing that they would deter the smugglers who make hundreds of millions of dollars each year bringing illegal drugs and undocumented immigrants into the United States to satisfy America’s thirst for both.Incredibly, there are Americans who know so little about desperation that they believe human beings will make their way across hundreds of miles of dangerous terrain to the U.S.-Mexico border, see a giant wall, and then simply shrug and walk back home.I’ve visited the border several times, in California, Texas and Arizona. U.S. Border Patrol agents have tol...
