Here's a wild idea. Illegals are coming here looking for work right? Give them all a masons trowel and let them earn a decent living building a verrrrrrrry long wall out of cement block. Not only do they get paid training in a building trade but we get a wall.
Gotta be a helluva lot cheaper than hiring another 10,000 guys to sit out in the desert.
One of the provisions that the Senate refused to allow (several congressmen stated in the debate it was because of the Illegal Alien lobbies) was a 3 and half foot completion of a border fence near San Diego that has been stopped by the Enviro lobby because of some bird. Part of the Senate conferees stopped that quick. That stretch of land is like it's been run with herds of cattle so many cross there.
Sorry. The enviros won't let us finish building the fence that was already started, due to the endangerd Bell's vireo (a little ol' birdy).
I like my idea better, but yours is a good backup plan.
And we don't have to pay them union wages ;-)
There is not one GOOD reason why we won't take that simple, effective, fair, common-sense approach to our border security...our SECURITY.
There is enough technology in place, there are enough people to build a simple barrier...there are only globalist sell-outs without the will to do what needs to be done, imo.
