Over the past five millennia , politicians have repeatedly turned to large walls to solve problems . We should look carefully at the track record of this ancient technology before we invest what some estimates suggest could be $ 25 billion in construction costs for a 2,000-mile - long wall , plus millions more in annual maintenance . One of the earliest examples of a large - scale barrier wall was constructed by the rulers of the city of Ur , in what is now southern Iraq , at the end of the third millennium B.C. The kings of Ur faced a considerable challenge along their northwestern border from a semi - nomadic people known as the Amorites .", "event": []}

Depending on where they come out on that question , their solutions inevitably encompass more destruction of American liberty and privacy , such as with gun control , immigration controls , or surveillance schemes . There is one big problem with their analysis , however : The terrorism problem America has been facing even before 9/11 is n’t due to Islam , Muslims , or the Koran . Instead , the anti - American terrorism problem is rooted in U.S. interventionism in the Middle East and Afghanistan , specifically the ongoing death and destruction that the U.S. military death machine has been wreaking in those parts of the world on an ongoing basis for the past 25 years .", "event": []}
