The Value of a Border Wall

Israel has several border walls separating its territories from some of its neighbors. Historically, Israel has experienced several international attacks from countries who feel that Israel should not exist as a country in that area.  For Israel the walls are not the only part of the solution, but they are effective a very important part of their border security.

Here are some other countries who have constructed walls to help protect themselves from their neighbors:  

India, Pakistan, Ukraine, Turkmenistan, China, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Iran, 

Costa Rica, Maylaysia, Botswana, United Arab Emirates, Slovenia, Belize, South Africa, Kuwait, Hungary, Estonia, Kazakstan, Hungary, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Brunei, Egypt.

And we should not forget the wall constructed by North Korea, though we are not sure that wall is meant to keep South Koreans out or keep the North Koreans in.

While a Border Wall with Mexico would not give us total security, it is clear that it is a very important part of our border security strategy.
