Forts or Prisons?

One point that might be worth making to the anti-immigration conservatives is that the difference between a border designed to keep people out and a border designed to keep people in is really not all that significant. I have stated in the past that ‘the only real difference between a fort and a prison is which side of the gate the locks are on.’ I suspect the zeal for ‘sealing the border’ might be dampened if folks pondered this concept for a while.
