When Linda Chavez compared the idea of a fence to protect America's southern border from invasion to the Berlin Wall (this is stupid—the Berlin Wall was keeping people in) I responded with a post called The Great Wall Of America. [1 December 2005] I've just noticed that on Jun. 19, 2008 David Von Drehle did an article for Time with exactly the same title.

Also Andrew Sullivan in 2006, and a number of other people. You can even buy the T-shirt. I'm claiming this as an example of "What VDARE.com thinks today, respectable people think tomorrow."
