Joe Miller's immigration plan: we should copy the commies and secure our border just like they did with the Berlin Wall.
"East Germany was very, very able to reduce the flow" from one side of the border to the other. "Now, obviously, other things there were involved. We have the capacity to, as a great nation, obviously to secure our border. If East Germany could, we could."
Okay, first things first: it was Stalin -- not the East Germans -- who built that wall.
Second, given that Ronald Reagan said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall" wouldn't he be turning in his grave if he knew that Joe Miller wanted to follow in Stalin's footsteps?
But to be fair, in a twisted sort of way it actually makes sense that this joker is embracing Reagan's mortal enemy, because the immigration policies that he so strongly detests were signed into law by...you guessed it...Ronald Reagan. In 1986.
Correction: Some folks -- including at least one very angry Miller supporter -- have emailed me to correct my inaccurate assertion that Stalin built the wall. The wall was built in 1961 when Khrushchev led the USSR. Stalin had died eight years earlier. I plead guilty to making this error and would like to apologize to Joe Miller for suggesting he supported a policy of Stalin's USSR, for fear of a shoe being banged on my desk. Miller wasn't supporting a policy of Stalin's USSR; it was actually a policy of Khrushchev's USSR. Oops.
