Every day, nearly 20,000 immigrants are being held in detention facilities nationwide, at an annual cost of $660 million, said Tim Counts, spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the division of the Department of Homeland Security that oversees immigration detention. For one-fifth of this amount there could be a double fence complete with concertina wire between and another one-fifth would pay for another 1000 agents a year. Just a guess on the number of agents. It could be more but 1000 times $90,000 per year equals $90,000,000.

I agree, and most Americans who are awake agree, but fences to keep slave labor out don't pay off campaign money promises to the slave labor lobby. That's what once-proud America has been reduced to by our so-called "leaders". Sad, huh?

Really now, why would it be so bad for potential illegal aliens all of the world to believe that we toss illegals to the dogs for dinner?

We don't have to do that, of course, but what's wrong with them having that belief?

I'd prefer to have them concerned that we'll throw them to the hogs.
