That is one fine idea. Why can’t a border state construt their very own wall, build by the Israelis no less.

Brilliant!

Nah. Can’t be. We all know the only people coming across the border illegally are peaceful workers seeking gainful employment.

A border land mine field would be more effective and cheaper. No need for guard towers, etc. Barbed wire, bilingual warning signs, and a bunch of landmines. Problem solved.

Instead of adopting the AZ law, I think all the states should adopt a law that more closely resembles the Mexican immigration laws.

Can you believe the audacity? They’re asking “Texas authorities” to be on the look out? If I was Perry I’d say “From what the feds have said about the AZ law it appears they don’t want any help from any of the states. So send some federales down here to watch for him.”

That Israeli wall wouldn’t do jack squat out in the desolate desert of the US/Mexico border. Too easy to get over.

If you have these watch towers every several miles, with cameras surveying in between, it would be nearly impenetrable.

This inept government will get thousands of innocent American citizens killed. They have left the border porous for years and no telling how many terrorists have walked across and nestled in so they can re-emerge and slaughter for Allah. If you can build a giant mosque on the footprint of where you murdered thousands of people... well... anything is possible.

The illegals and drug smugglers are helping the terrorists get into our country(of course...Freepers already know this):

“In addition to the Somali immigration issue, Mexican smugglers are coaching some Middle Eastern immigrants before they cross the border – schooling them on how to dress and giving them phrases to help them look and sound like Latinos, law enforcement sources told FoxNews.com.

“There have been a number of certain communities that have noticed this, villages in northern Mexico where Middle Easterners try to move into town and learn Spanish,” Neuhaus Schaan said. “People were changing there names from Middle Eastern names to Hispanic names.”
Security experts say the push by illegal immigrants to try to fit in also could be the realization of what officials have feared for years: Latin American drug cartels are helping jihadist groups bring terrorists across the Mexican border.”

This administration is the most corrupt and incompetent in American history!

Southern vs Northern borders?

3. He wants to screw up the south?

All the above.

Dang, one of our sanctuary cities stopped this guy but let him go. He looked homeless as he was carrying a huge backpack and they felt sorry for him. Someone remembered he was asking for directions to Washington DC. They gave him money and he went on his way.

Every time I hear those statements, my blood boils. There is no reason for the laxity on the borders; only excuses. We need a 30’ wall, and we need it 20 years ago. On my trip to Pakistan in early 2004, I realized how easily it would be for terrorists to come to US of A through Mexico.

Not only are the Paks similar is size and coloring, but they eat similar foods, they dress the same, and they have the same mannerisms. Build the freakin’ WALL!!

must be 20,000 miles of concrete barries in the US by now,not at the border

I'm sure you're right. Those in and around Atlanta are supposed to be acoustic barriers to cut down the noise from the interstates.

The Israeli wall extends 30 feet below grade to inhibit tunneling. We would need at least that to cut down on the "commerce" moving underground.

That's a nice wall. I'd sure like to see that all across our southern border.

But, as long as we're gonna spend the money, this one's a little harder to penetrate. This is also an Israeli wall:

This reminds me of the walled Israel from David’s era....I have no peoblem with walls (fences) what so ever especiall when those coming thru want to bomb your country. Too bad, really, this was not done on our southern border. I doubt very much it will ever happen....all talk and political stance...we are ducks in a pond. Just a matter of time.

Might be? The border is a sieve. One can only imagine the number of muslim based terrorists who've simply sauntered across our border.

And what's the feds reaction to this bit of information? Warn local authorities?

They've abdicated their responsibility to protect our country. Time for the states to start taking serious action.

Good heavens, we couldn't actually use our military to patrol the border and secure it to protect our country from terrorists, domestic and abroad, now could we?

Ping to any homeschoolers who live in the area.

What really toasts me is that as an American citizen I dare not go outside the country without a passport or I risk not being let back in

But these illegals just stroll over the border unmolested daily, don’t face deportation if caught, are given free medical care, free education, welfare, food stamps, all of which I, the American citizen who would be denied entrance into my own country, have to pay for.

The only serious action we can take is to raise funds for building a border wall like Israel’s and then build the thing. Otherwise, we’ll have the same problem.
