“We think we should be building bridges, not fences.”
Rafael Laveaga
“I am not someone who believes we should build a fence around our country but I do believe there ought to be some fairness with respect to the rules of this globalization.”
Byron Dorgan
“I think (a border fence) is futile because I don't think you can build a wall high enough or wide enough to keep people out of the country who have no hope or opportunity where they live,”
John Cornyn
“Make not a fence more expensive or more important than the thing that is fenced”
Hebrew Proverb
“Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends”
Czech Proverb
“There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures.”
William Penn
“It is simply ridiculous to say it cannot be done. If one fence won't do it, then build a second 100 yards behind it. And then build a road for patrols in between. Put cameras. Put sensors. Put out lots of patrols.”
Charles Krauthammer
