We tried to "seal" a 66 mile section of the border in Operation Gatekeeper.

Double fences (some concrete and steel), guard towers, flood lights, infrared cameras, ground sensors, patrol roads, horse patrols, ATV patrols, 16 helicopters, fixed wing aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, trucks, and a ratio of 25 guards per mile were incorporated.

An estimated 30,000 to 40,000 get through each year anyway. Apply that ratio of 25 guards per mile to our 105,000 mile border/coastline and it comes out to over 2.5 million guards at a cost of $459,375,000,000.00, and still 47,670,000 to 63,630,000 people could cross undetected into the U.S. each year.

As long as men must come north to feed their families, and as long as America is dependent upon foreign laborers to replace the 40 million workers we have aborted since Roe v Wade, the border can never be "sealed". President Bush has the most practical answers.

Why is it a Republican President's responsibility to help the Demo's make up the voters they aborted?

If we need more foreign workers, we can let in more LEGAL immigrants. Illegal alien lawbreakers shouldn't be rewarded in any way for violating our country's immigration laws.

AS long as our chief federal law enforcement officer willfully declines to enforce our immigration laws he has sworn to faithully execute, we will risk mass murder from terrorists who will have illegally crossed the border.

As long as we tolerate mass illegal immigration we will never secure jobs wrongfully taken by illegals from Americans eager to work.

As long as our immigration policy is hostage to misguided and selfishly motivated politics, industry after industry like Florida's construction industry, will be corrupted by employers forced by illegal immigrant competition to hire illegals.

As long as we tolerate tens of millions of illegals within our birthright, we will not be able to effectively conduct social policy.

Pure BS! The Minuteman Project did it on a few donations and retirees in lawnchairs. Your numbers are crap - invented to support your position that our national borders are somehow impossible to secure.

"A nation without borders is not a nation." - Ronald Reagan

As long as men must come north to feed their families, and as long as America is dependent upon foreign laborers to replace the 40 million workers we have aborted since Roe v Wade, the border can never be "sealed". President Bush has the most practical answers.

As long as men must rob banks and liquor stores and sell crack to schoolchildren to feed their families, and as long as America is dependent upon their input into our diverse economy, banks and liquour stores can never be "secured" and schoolchildren can never be "protected" from dangerous drugs. Mara Salvatruchas (MS-13) gang leader Rivera-Paz has the most practical answers.

There again, you've taught me so much on how to do this. I can just make up any old thing, post it on FR, and see if it sticks. Doesn't matter if it makes any logical sense or bears any resemblance to the truth or reality, you can just post whatever crap you want and get away with it. You've proven that. Cool.
