What prevented East Berliners from entering West Berlin? Like duh ... The Berlin Wall!
That wall wasn't built by West Germany to prevent East Germans from coming in.
It was built by East Germany to prevent East Germans from leaving.
Mexico doesn't need to pay for the wall.
They just need to build the wall on their side to prevent them from leaving.
That fulfills Trump's promise of having a wall and having Mexico pay for it.
Actually, the official "purpose" of the Berlin Wall was to keep western "facisists" from entering East Germany and undermining it. But, you are correct. It was actually built to prevent East Germans from leaving.
Mexico would never prevent its citizens from entering the US. Mexico would suffer greatly if its citizens could not make it across.
