This would be like creating a four-lane interstate between the U.S. and Mexico. Oh, yeah we have already done that. This would spell a quicker end for Europe than they have already prescribed for themselves.

[baa39]

All I can say is...WHY?

[JRios1968]

I thought it was referring to

[Former Fetus]

There would be lanes for those who wish to walk, bicycle or "ride camels and horses"

Just imagine, riding a camel 650 ft. under the Strait of Gibraltar! LOL

[puppypusher]

My thought's exactly.

The earthquake-proof house.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Yeah, right. This'll happen when hell freezes over. Just what a cash strapped Europe needs and wants - a stream of new immigrants without education and full of diseases and dispair.

"The earthquake-proof house."

Can it survive a cat-5 hurricane?

[ModelBreaker]

That picture must be So Cal--between the palm trees and the weird architecture. I lived there for years and never saw that house. Where is it?

"Just what a cash strapped Europe needs and wants - a stream of new immigrants without education and full of diseases and despair."

BUILD IT! BUILD IT!

who fear that a bridge would lead to a huge surge in illegal immigration from Africa.

So what? They'll just be doing the jobs Spaniards simply won't do......and immigrants add vibrancy and diversity wherever they go......not to mention they'll outbreed their host country, demand welfare, and drag down the nation.

Isn't it wonderful what importing poverty can do?

[Donald Meaker]

I think of it as a bridge to Nowhere.....

[R_Kangel]

"British expatriates - who fear that a bridge would lead to a huge surge in illegal immigration from Africa."

What are they worried about!!!!.....The immigrants would only be comming to do the jobs that the Brits don't want to do!

[Wally_Kalbacken]

There goes the 'hood!

[Verginius Rufus]

For a lot less money they could just hand out free airplane tickets to anyone who wants them, in the capital cities of West Africa, so that the illegal immigrants can fly to Spain. They have a much more difficult task getting across the Sahara than Mexicans do getting across the desert in Arizona.

Can it survive a cat-5 hurricane?

More importantly, does it have enough Heineken for
