The headline that McCain said "we'll make the border with Mexico look like the Berlin Wall" is an outrageous lie. He said nothing of the sort, see for yourself.
What he did say was the immigration bill in debate would make the most secure border since the Berlin Wall. He stated that in the sense of it being a positive thing.
He did mention the Berlin Wall, as a positive thing, in a sense of the level of security. He was speaking quantitatively, not qualitatively. If you are going to have an opinion, you must listen to your opponents, and address what they are really saying.
I have argued this point below, pointing out what the Berlin Wall was qualitatively. Mustn't ascribe to McCain a qualitative allusion when he clearly means quantitative allusion.
But we really ought to discuss the qualitiative allusion of the Mexican Wall to teh Berlin Wall. As I lay out in the linked arguments above, the reasoning for a Mexican wall, are point for point, precisely the reasons the East Germans used for building the Berlin Wall.
Even John McCain should address the issue: Are we the new East Berlin?
