[Name] Another Brick in the Wall
[Desc] A devastating earthquake occurred on @@NAME@@’s northeastern border last night, taking down a section of the border wall in the process. To the surprise of the construction workers who showed up this morning, the area was filled by a group of masked people who opposed the building of the wall, blocking the rebuilding effort.
[Validity] Answered issue 47.1
[option] "There better be a good reason be a good reason we haven't started rebuildin' yet!" frantically exclaims your Minister of Barriers, toying around with a miniature replica of what appears to be a wall. "We ought to round up everyone there and arrest them. This is the top priority from now on. Hell, we could even make it bigger and better than before. I say it should get built at least ten feet higher in the area where it fell, and I suppose we ought to look into some techniques so it don’t fall over again, too."

[validity] allows immigration
[option] "Perhaps we could just keep the area in question as an entry point?" advocates @@RANDOMNAME@@, a long-time advisor who has a knack of creating compromises. "This could surely be a way that pleases both sides, if you think about it. This section will be just an area for folks to get in and out of the country by land. No one will go home mad: they'll be happy that nothing is built and you'll keep the border secured."

[option] "This just goes to show how much of a bad idea the wall was in the first place," protests one of the masked demonstrators, who refuses to tell you @@HIS@@ name. "Why do we need to be so strict on immigration, anyways? And imagine if we are forced to pay for every crack and bruise that’s on it? The only expense we’ll ever need is to tear down the whole thing right now. It’s time to set @@NAME@@ free again!"
[effect] border communities rejoice at the sight of the sky once again
[option] "How about we address the real problem: the wall isn't structurally sound!" exclaims your Minister of Integrity, whose department also includes construction work. "How can you ever claim to keep @@NAME@@'s border secure if a measly earthquake can just knock it done? It's time we fund a massive renovation of the entire wall. We must ensure that it can stand against any act of nature, no matter the severity."
[effect] the border wall can withstand anything from a volcano to a nuclear bomb
