The commies built a physical wall around West Berlin to keep people in the East from escaping to West Berlin. There were also fences and no-man's-lands at other East German borders with the West.

The U.S. is building a bureaucratic wall to keep people from entering. That's how you "deconstruct the administrative state," right?

(Decades ago I spent an afternoon walking through East Berlin. There were no obstacles to entering East Berlin but upon leaving there was a series of at least three checkpoints where they closely examined my passport/identification to make sure I wasn't an East German trying to escape.)
