Good fences make good neighbors.
And for what it is costing CA alone per year to allow illegals to stay here we could build THREE OF THESE WALLS and still be ahead of the game at the end of the year! Semper Fi, Kelly

The Border: The dirty little secret — but really, it's no secret at all — is that the government of Vicente Fox in Mexico not only winks at illegal immigration to the U.S. but actively encourages it.
When New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson declared a state of emergency in four border counties of his state last week, he asked the Mexican government to raze the abandoned town of Las Chepas, just across the border from the U.S. town of Columbus. Las Chepas is a gathering place for illegal aliens and drug smugglers as they are preparing to cross the border.
But we'll be pleasantly surprised if Mexico bulldozes Las Chepas, or if it shuts down the many other sites it maintains to provide water and supplies for northbound migrants.
Illegal immigration, always a fact along the border, has become a key instrument of Mexican economic policy during the presidency of Vicente Fox.
The government makes no bones of the fact that it wants workers to enter the U.S., legally or not, so that they can send sorely needed remittances (expected to hit $20 billion this year, according to the Bank of Mexico) back home.
The Washington Times reported Thursday that a Mexican government-funded humanitarian organization, Grupo Beta, maintains a number of aid stations for migrants along the border.
The paper also said that Grupo Beta worked with federal and Sonoran state police in April to help steer migrants away from areas on the Arizona border being patrolled at the time by Minuteman Project volunteers.
Mexico isn't exactly shame-faced about such activities. A spokesman for its embassy told the Times that the government "has a duty and obligation by law to protect Mexican citizens at home and abroad."

It's time for GWB to tell Vicente Fox to start solving Mexico's problems instead of dumping them on our back porch. And it's also time for Mexico to take off the American "training wheels" and start peddling through life on her own. Semper Fi, Kelly
I know plenty of people on here dislike Michael Savage intensely, and there are times when I don't think he's wound all that tightly, but he reiterates something I learned years ago when I was getting my BA in Political Science and History: The three defining characteristics of a nation are borders, language and culture. Remove any one of those three items and you no longer have a nation. The political class in this country have sold us out on all three points. We don't have a nation anymore.....and it's the fault of both of the big parties.
The only places this is a secret is on Capitol Hill and the White House. The rest of America has been raising hell about it for a couple of years now. It seems our politicians of both parties have made up their minds to either ignore it or pass laws so they can get away with it easier. McCain-Kennedy is a joke.
Seal the border and the Mexican people will be motivated to clesn up their corrupt government. The full Mussilini for Fox and his ilk is overdue.
This would then make it a foreign-funded criminal enterprise, which, apparently, is okay with TPTB.

Nicely said. I agree completely.
Of course Fox encourages his people to cross into America, money sent back is Mexico's 2nd largest income.
They need another Pancho Villa or Zapata down there to clean that mess up. Start at the top and work down.
If they start at the bottom and work up the rats will jump ship.

Not to even mention what it's doing to our economy, health care, welfare, medicaid and education systems.
So does George W. Bush in USA!
It will never happen, We need the Drug War, as long as the borders are open so is the free flow of narcotics. If you think the Government wants to win the drug war you are sorely mistaken. Remember if we closed the borders and ports and had real searches of goods and people coming into this country The Drug War would be Over.
Do you honestly believe we are going to give back the billions of dollars to the people, are we going to Fire 200,000 drug cops, never. we need open borders to keep in the game.
I agree wholeheartedly on all of your points. BTW, I love listening to Savage, he is entertaining. I used to listen to Rush ANY time I could, now it is rarely. Hannity is a joke, Medved is a good program, but his defeatist stand on immigration is expressed with such hatred, I have to think he is not thinking clearly. The same for his belief in the party system.
Ding Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner. The WOD could be smashed with a firm border policy, both N and S.
Something needs to be done in the SW border states, or they will be under Mexican rule, and the citizens of the US here will lose everything we have.
they heard that ranches can be had for only a bruised jaw and an democrap judge
