When it comes to security and protection, Hillary Clinton knows she deserves the best because of her esteemed career as a politician since the 1970's. At her massive estate in Chappaqua, New York where the population is 85 percent white and the household average income is over $100,000, Clinton has built a massive wall to keep out any wrong doers.
There is no doubt that strict surveillance is routine at the Clinton estate. I wonder what the chances are of Hillary allowing a few Syrian refugees to live inside these hallowed walls?
World of walls: How 65 countries have erected fences on their borders – four times as many as when the Berlin Wall was toppled – as governments try to hold back the tide of migrants
• Security fears and a widespread refusal to help refugees have fuelled a new spate of wall-building around the world
• A third of the world's countries have completed or are building barriers – compared to 16 at the fall of the Berlin Wall
• They include Israel's 'apartheid wall', India's 2,500-mile fence around Bangladesh and Morocco's huge sand 'berm'
• Experts are dismissive, saying: 'Their main function is theatre. They provide the sense of security, not real security'

Globalisation was supposed to tear down barriers, but security fears and a widespread refusal to help migrants and refugees have fuelled a new spate of wall-building across the world, with a third of the world's countries constructing them along their borders.
When the Berlin Wall was torn down a quarter-century ago, there were 16 border fences around the world.
Today, there are 65 either completed or under construction, according to Quebec University expert Elisabeth Vallet.
Blocked: There are 65 countries either building walls, or which are already have them - including in Belfast, where they are called 'peace lines', as well as numerous in the Middle East, where countries are trying to protect themselves from the risk of terrorism
Symbol of aggression: Palestinians climb over a section of Israel's separation wall near Qalandia checkpoint between Ramallah to enter Jerusalem for Friday prayer in the al-Aqsa mosque compound, Islam's third-holiest site, during the holy month of Ramadan last month
Effective?: Migrants claim to the top of the fence which runs along the border of Morocco and the North African Spanish enclave of Melilla
Tearing it down: But more than 25 years since the iconic Berlin Wall, which separated east from west Germany, came down, the effectiveness of these walls as little more than a symbol is being questioned
Walls and fences are ever-more popular with politicians wanting to look tough on migration and security.
US p**********l hopeful Donald Trump has made plans for a wall along the border with Mexico – to keep out what he called 'criminals, drug dealers, rapists' – central to his inflammatory campaign.
Yet experts say there is little proof of their effectiveness in stopping people crossing borders.
In July, Hungary's right-wing government began building a four-metre-high (13 feet) fence along its border with Serbia to stanch the flow of refugees from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Three other countries – Kenya, Saudi Arabia and Turkey – are all constructing border fences in a bid to keep out jihadist groups next door in Somalia, Iraq and Syria.
Seven miles of barrier have already been erected along the border at Reyhanli town in Hatay province - a main point for smuggling and border-crossing from Syria - the private Dogan news agency said.
The fence in Turkey will eventually stretch for 28 miles along a key stretch of its border with Syria.
But the Turkish wall pales into insignificance when compared to the multi-layered fence which will one day stretch 600 miles from Jordan to Kuwait along Saudi's border with Iraq - a line of defence against ISIS.
Human barrier: Today Macedonia decided to block the border with Greece, placing wire on the ground and sending r**t police to prevent people crossing into their country - making the world's newest, and most hastily built, wall
Their story carries shades of the 'wall disease' diagnosed by Berlin psychologist Dietfried Muller-Hegemann in the 1970s after he found heightened levels of depression, alcoholism and domestic abuse among those living in the shadow of the barricade.
Di Cintio also talked to Bangladeshi farmers suddenly cut off from their neighbours when India erected the simple barbed-wire fence between them in the last decade.
Within a few months, he said, they had started expressing distrust and dislike for 'those people' on the other side.
'I was struck every time at how a structure so simple as a wall or fence can have these profound psychological effects,' says Di Cintio.
At a localised level, a wall offers more security than no wall.
They are mostly effective against the poorest and most desperate, says Reece Jones, a University of Hawaii professor and author of 'Border Walls: Security and the War on Terror in the United States, India and Israel'.
'Well-funded drug cartels and terrorist groups are not affected by walls at all because they have the resources to enter by safer methods, most likely using f**e documents,' he said.
More than 40,000 people have died trying to migrate since 2000, the International Organisation for Migration said last year.
'But with the intense flows of people we see today, walls are perhaps necessary for politicians.
'They tap into old myths about what borders should be – the line in the sand – which humans relate to,' he said.
'It's a lot more difficult for people to accept that diplomatic cooperation and sharing databases are much more effective in the long term.'

I think mine fields & human temp sensor controlled GE cannons would be more effective. I have a 4’ chain link fence & 5 dogs, works just fine for us, anyone who is not invited,who jumps the fence, the dogs take care of. They are trained to hold, k**l, or let go. They will not listen to anyone except me, my wife, & my son.
