Exactly! Even if those ideas worked, there are much easier ways to stop this attack on our borders and our sovereignty.
This invasion of our country could have been stopped years ago, easily.
But unfortunately, the political elite in DC have no desire to implement these solutions. It' not part of their agenda, not part of their plan.
Sadly their plan and agenda is to sell America down the tubes to save the party.
I can't and won't support any party that does that.
Unnecessarily inflamatory rhetoric that could have easily been taken as bait, by a smaller person than me, as an invitation to a flame war. ;^)
To paraphrase Sabertooth, anyone that believes that walls along our borders are a good idea is "thoughtless", "silly" and merely jaw-boning.
This from the person calling for the Moderators to enforce civility on these immigration threads???
In these modern times, we now have 4 examples of walls along the borders between 2 separate countries that perform the function of reducing the problem of MASSIVE!, OUT-OF-CONTROL, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and the movement of STOLEN MERCHANDISE, DRUGS, HITMEN, GANG-BANGERS, MEMBERS OF ORGANIZED CRIME, ALL KINDS OF SMUGGLERS, ETC..
These are the barriers, mine fields and troops along the Korean border, the wall along the Indian and Pakistan border, the wall along the Israel and Palistine border and recently the wall between East and West Germany.
The one thing all of these walls share in common is they all work now or have worked in the past, extremely well.
The unsanctioned flow of people and contraban across walls like these is slowed to a trickle. The population of one side, that is being preyed upon by the other, is protected.
Saber, your plan (actually a compilation of suggestions many FReepers have made for the past several years) is a good one, but it does nothing to address the issue of the large number of intruders crossing our borders with the single-minded intention of committing a crime or various crimes and then slipping back across the borders before they can be caught.
We'd all be better off, if these criminals had to go to greater lengths to enter and leave our country for their nefarious purposes.
Will workplace restrictions prevent the Mexican military from crossing our border and kid-napping an entire American family in the future?
No, workplace restrictions alone don't address any of these problems.
