Another wall

Regarding letter writer Ruth Silk (“Wall of wisdom,” Sept. 4). There is no ideological connection between the wall in Berlin, and Trump’s proposal of a border wall. It’s two different situations.

The Berlin wall was Russia’s escalated post-war occupation of Eastern Europe. America has a right to protect the southern U.S. border.
