Big shoutout to Tim without whom I would never ever have heard about Shatners new album. It is comedy gold from the first to the last tune! If you have not listened to it, I can wholeheartedly recommend it 😄

building the wall is just another step for the government to completely control who can or cannot leave the USA. Change my mind (don't know if this point has been raised about the wall yet, if so feel free to message me with links of discussions)

so why is the population which argues most for less government control in strongest support for the wall?

read my first statement. A wall can prohibit crossing the border from both sides

Imagine a radical faction taking control over the USA and persecuting political opponents. Now total control over the border means pollitical enemies have it that much harder to get out of the states

It's somehow a related argument as in the free speach debate. Infringing on free speach gives that tool to whichever faction in power. As soon as you find yourself on the wrong side of political oppinion, those changes can backfire very strong

@ZetaBlues I did not want to imply that the whole party wants that, however I think it is fair to say, that (from how it is shown in European Media), the group that wants small government is mainly represented by the republican party, e.g. The Tea Party, Tom and Rand Paul, etc while I do not know about any major representatives of small government from the Democrats. I think that the LDC and the DFC can be dismissed as fairly small groups without much political power. However this is how I perceive it from Europe. If you tell me this is not the case, and libertarians are equally devided between Dems and Reps (at least those who don't vote third party) then I will accept that.

And because I have a limited understanding of American politics I strive to learn more about it. That's why I raise a question and hope to hear from people who know more about it, so I can broaden my understanding. That's what discussions/conversations are all about. Either you have a good point and are able to convey it, or you get corrected and learn something.
