This may be a little out there but it was a thought I had this a.m. when reading an article about all the illegals. It seems to me that TX, AZ & NM have a right to protect their own borders. IF that is in fact the case, then why couldn’t they build a big fence? I suspect if normal citizens (e.g., we Americans), heard about it, they’d be all for it — we could set up a Build the Dang Fence Fund and us regular folks could contribute whatever they could - $5, $10, $20, etc. Maybe Trump, the Koch Bros or other similarly situated (money-wise) people could send large amounts. Ranchers would probably be happy to contribute.

I suspect there would be volunteers, such as yourself, to help with the building (IIRC Texas is a RTW state, so wouldn’t have to worry about unions). There are probably contractors and suppliers (especially in TX) that would contribute materials or give a huge discount on them.

Just some thoughts I had early this morning while having coffee. Oh well, tomorrow is another day, for another daydream.

Well, there are plenty of law breakers (illegals) to help build that fence too.
That would be a nice direct message to DC. And would probably deter
many others from coming over. We have to feed them anyway, make them earn
their keep then toss them to the other side when the last section goes into place.
With a lunch sack and a bottle of water of course.

we could set up a Build the Dang Fence Fund

That should be done anyway! Set it up to send a message to DC!

When the fund builds up to millions what will they say about it?

I'm not impressed by your post regarding your recent “thought processes” over coffee this morning, with or without the sarcasm tag.

Go back to sleep, someone will wake you if and/or when we need your direct help.

Good thoughts.

We tried that funding mechanism...It wasn’t so much an effort to buy materials to build a fence, it was to elect people who ran on a “build the fence” campaign plank, that have failed us...

Now the problem is a little more overt...More of a human tragedy...but, like all tragedies, is it our responsibility, and humanity that needs to suffer for their illegality???

Once you get past that hump, you’ll feel a lot better...

Here is the issue. The minute this happens the Sierra Club will file an injunction that building the fence will harm the endangered(insert rodent,reptile,bird here) and must be stopped immediately.

The response to that should be, illegals leaving their trash and destroying the environment needs to immediately stop in order to save the (insert rodent, reptile, bird here) . In addition, their presence has raised the carbon level significantly and illegal immigration can cause global warming.

Then watch the heads explode.
