    That is a complicated question because during the imperial periods the economy and control over it changed waxed and waned.

    so, let’s not use China in the example. No reason to use the outliers to make the rules, IMO.

    Re: Immigration

    Doing this from memory, so...

    in one instance a Mongol army led by one of Genghis Khan's nephews, a general in their army, burst thru a hole in the wall that was undefended because the two local dynasties were fighting each other. But they set their differences aside long enough to join forces and counter-attack. First they blocked the "exit" thru the hole and trapped the Mongols against the wall some miles further north. Over 80,000 Mongols were slaughtered. They captured the general, and sent him back to Khan in disgrace. Genghis Khan said he would have executed him if he were not a nephew. He sent him home to his sibling's house, stripped of his rank and never allowed to serve as an officer in the Mongol army again.

    Walls work...but they have to be manned and defended too.

    Re: Immigration

    We're no longer talking about the same thing. I mean, dawg80 is still talking about the same thing because he equates illegal immigration with a large scale organized invasion, and also thinks that deportation is the only possible consequence for not holding valid immigration status.

    But for those that find that outlook exaggerated and the solution untenable, the EIT presents at the very least a starting point to some discussion.

    I don't think the Great Wall of China is very relevant (which hasn't ever stopped a rambling BB&B conversation in the past).

    The mobs marching in from Central America were a large scale organized invasion. Several posters here wanted to let them all in.

    Those large crowds didn’t require a wall to stop them. You could literally track them from thousands of miles away.

    And I thought we might have wanted to give our new B-52 crews some practice carpet bombing, but those in charge thought Mexico would have frowned on that.

    Re: Immigration

    Socialist idealism from the America hater Democrats.

    Democrats push for illegal immigrants to get coronavirus stimulus cash


    Some Democrats are demanding that stimulus payments as part of the coronavirus response include illegal immigrants -- part of an ongoing effort to eliminate all barriers to public assistance for those in the country without documentation.


    While that includes working legal immigrants -- like those here on nonimmigrant (temporary) work visas -- who have Social Security numbers in order to be able to work legally in the U.S., it does not include those who are here illegally.


    Illegal immigrants are not eligible for a Social Security number, so they neither pay income taxes nor file taxes via an Individual Taxpayer Identity Number (ITIN).

    The IRS describes "a tax processing number only available for certain nonresident and resident aliens, their spouses, and dependents who cannot get a Social Security Number." This includes illegal immigrants.

    Democratic lawmakers have seized on that distinction to claim that “hardworking immigrants” will be left out of the payments -- although working legal immigrants will not be.

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who has called for "Medicare-for-all" programs that would include health care for illegal immigrants, has also complained about the limiting of benefits to those with Social Security numbers.
