How does this get to be so casual for some people. Landmines on our border. Like it's nothing. No thought involved at all.
Man, you think border property values are low because of illegals streaming across the border...wait till you got a monsterous fence for a southern view with explosives on the other side.
Nobodys plays at that house cause you can't retrive your baseball or kite that goes over the fence. Hope there ain't any towns on the border or in the path of the mine field. And after we build an impregnable wall around our country we will build a ladder to the Moon.
That won't work! The moon's not in a geosyncronous orbit.
..and a telescoping ladder running on a rail system around the earth is simply cost prohibitive.
;)
Blah, blah, blah. Got to hand it to ya, you have a good heart, but lost it upstairs.
Thats nice. You still haven't given a good reason NOT to mine the border.
It doesn't have to be a monsterous fence! 2 12' chain link fences 100 feet apart should do the trick, with signs in both english and spanish.
Property values on the border are already horrible because of the crime and streams of illegals. You'd think that ending it with a chain link fence could only improve them.
Plus, think about the danger, cost, and problems the rest of the country is burdened by because of the illegal alien invasion. The few issues you raised are minor in comparison.
You are they kinda guy who sacrifices the good for the perfect.
