This photo never ceases to blow my mind. Imagine, take a step forward and you're in Mexico. Take a step back and you're back in the U.S. Until I saw this photo I always thought that our government had marked/guarded our border much better than this.

I'm sure most Americans also believed we had some kind of real border fence, but we don't. One of the best things about the media exposure brought by the Minuteman Project was in showing the true state of our open border.

A simple and effective border fence, as in reply 142, could be built in one year for less than it costs to keep illegal alien felons in prison per year. Cost is not the issue, a simple effective fence would save billions in unpaid hospital costs etc. The issue is political will. Our elites are on board for the "North American Union," and will never build a real fence.
