The movie Escape from New York is a classic I've enjoyed watching many times over the years. In the movie, America has walled off Manhattan Island, using it as a place to which prisoners and the unwanted can be banished. The island wasn't like a prison, though, where people pay a price for their crimes and then return to society... it was a place of anarchy, where the only law was the strongest get what they want and from which no one ever escapes.
Little did I ever think that the American government would give up part of our country in real life like the President is giving up on Southern Arizona. I guess I shouldn't be surprised... this is the type of solution the President wants for Israel as well -- some other country encroaches upon yours with guns and bombs and crime? Don't fight back... just get out and let them have it.
