> Here's one way. Does a country build walls to keep people in, or keep people out?

Can you make this into an actual measurable statistic or does this require us to just guess at the motivations of wall builders?

I'm wondering what you think the purpose of the wall along the Rio Grande is for. It was in all the papers for the last 6 years.

Or why the Soviet Union built a wall across Europe.

So, nothing quantifiable?

I guess the if we ask the people who built those walls they'll give us whatever answers they think are convenient for their propaganda purposes in the moment.
