When warned that "a lot of people are not going to like that answer," Bush told O'Reilly, "Well it’s a, a truthful answer."

It's a totally BS answer....

There are a few individuals here that continually epound on how the united States of America can not possably close the mexico border, just fence or wall it off and keep it closed except for the proper crossing popints and bridges.

Here is a bit of my feedback to such nonsence.

North Korean blockhouse that I was told are too expensive to build by the u.S on the mexican border.  Strange, North Korea is FAMOUS for being just dirt poor.  The can build blockhouses on their border.  I bet if we had blockhouses on our border we could keep fresh paint on them and fix the roof.

My lord goodness graceious!  Are those electrical wires ?   HOW MEAN SPRITED.

In short, there is NO REASON why this county can not close the mexican border and Bush playing the toe in the dirt aw shucks "can't be done" routine is just politricks, nothing more.

I actually don't think it's just politics --- open borders doesn't get anyone votes --- there is no evidence that the public wants open borders or votes for either candidate on the basis of that. Except many of the Mexican citizens would vote on the basis of that.

I think it's something else --- the problems in Mexico are pretty bad and getting worse --- it's what happens if anything is done to slow immigration to the USA --- and that is a revolution. Our political leaders think that the corrupt Mexican government at least provides some kind of stability, plus there is a lot of big money at stake for many businesses and others who have moved factories to Mexico. If the Revolution breaks out --- the government will collapse, the elites will flee Mexico and it's going to be anarchy and chaos and a big loss of money for some who get rich from Mexico. We don't want that --- so we keep the current system propped up --- and immigration is an essential part of keeping it propped up.

How wide, pray tell, is the Korean peninsula?

Keep in mind that the lower 48 States have a perimeter of approximately 18,500 miles. You want to set up a DMZ along all 18,500 miles of America's frontier? You go and pay for the million full-time federal employees that will take. (740,000 actual guards, 260,000 support).
