Israel already has a similar barrier on its border with Egypt. That wall cut the number of illegal African migrants from almost 15,000 in 2010 to a total of just 14 six years later. That's some wall. Has anyone told Archbishop Pelosi about any of this? Will she denounce Israel as immoral?
Apparently they don't because on Sunday, Israel, America's closest ally in that region, started construction on a massive new wall - a border wall. It is 20 feet high. It will be made of galvanized steel. It is going to be built directly on top of an existing underground wall.
