The U.S.-Mexico land border is about 1500 miles long. The total perimeter of the contiguous 48 U.S. is about 18,500 miles.
But, you know, Draconian tactics are just fine as far as the Riders Of The Illegal Immigration Hobbyhorse are concerned. They have no problem with demanding that a person be machine-gunned for trying to find good-paying work, albeit in an illegal manner.
LOL! You're killin me...
I have no problem with a burglar or intruder being killed in the course of his crime. And that is what these people are: burglars and intruders, period. If you come in the front door and abide by the rules of the house, welcome and stay awhile. If you try to sneak in and die, too bad, so sad. If you survive, a nice coat of tar and feathers can warm you as you are marched back over the border.
This may come as a surprise to you but our prisons are full of illegals who did a lot more than "just looking for work". Try rape, robbery, murder, etc.....I'm sick of folks using that old , tired line about these poor, huddled masses dying to come here to work. My community is so full of these fat butt illegals sitting home watching Univision all day it's enough to make someone throw up.
The American public, as of now, won't support violence and death on the Mexican border, regardless of how many Freepers living in fantasyland think they would.
An ounce of clarity goes a long long way.
Wow.
That's right up there with "The document is fake but the content is factual", or, if you prefer, "Bonnie and Clyde were ventilated with lead, big time, simply for seeking 'good investment' opportunities."
