Make the fence electric and you've got yourself a deal.
Is this congressman lying through his teeth to ignorant sheeples and hyping up the illegal alien border crisis just for votes, or is he telling the truth?
===============================================
Congressman King has his own ideas on how to solve the border issue, "I suggest this.Build a fence- it's cheap, you can build it 10 foot high with barb wire on top for 680 million dollars.
We spend six billion a year just incarcerating criminal aliens against those who come in and commit crimes against Americans.
This would make the best return."
Somebody knows the deal...
Congressman King is either serious, or he's pulling a Hillary. I can't wait to see the reporting that comes out of this 'summit'.
King's fence idea sounds a helluva lot better than anything we're doing now.
What's yours?
"I suggest this. Build a fence- it's cheap, you can build it 10 foot high with barb wire on top for 680 million dollars. We spend six billion a year just incarcerating criminal aliens against those who come in and commit crimes against Americans. This would make the best return."
Okay, first of all, God Bless Steve King! We need more like him in Washington!
That being said, there's two problems with the fence idea. One is that they'll just dig a hole under it, cut a hole in it, or throw a blanket over the top and climb over it. Two is that it could serve as a deterrent to them going back home.
What needs to be done is a two pronged approach:
1. ENFORCE LAWS AGAINST EMPLOYERS: A $10k fine for each employed illegal and one year in prison for a second conviction will dry up all the jobs within a month.
2. ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS: Whenever an illegal comes in contact with any entity that receives any sort of federal funding, be it police, schools, hospitals, fire departments, welfare offices, banks etc. they must report the illegal to ICE. Upon apprehension, the illegal is immediately shipped off to a detention center for repatraiation (no release so they can "get their affairs in order" or pending a hearing). Central/South Americans are all dumped off on the Mexican border, Africans and Chinese can be put aboard old freight ships and run aground at any location on the appropriate continent. They can find their way home from there.
Once there are no jobs and the immenint possibility that Juan may not be coming home tonight, these people will by and large deport themselves.

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
How about one of those prefab concrete walls they use next to highways to block out sound from neighborhoods.
and put a moat in front
with alligators
Just add the razor wire.
Heh. Gonna need a lot stronger fence than this so lets do it! Spend 10 billion on a Mexico border fence and it will definitely hold back the invading hordes.
Latino first, American second (or third or fourth or last)...

Put bounties on illegal aliens - $10,000 per illegal alien + 50% of all of their assets
Confiscate any and all of their properties, assets, vehicles, homes, bank accounts, investments - all have been gained thru using stolen or faked or illegally obtained IDs
The US government would get the bounty financing from $20,000 fines per illegal alien working for, any and all employers
The fines + the confiscated assets and properties would fund the large bounties, the government agents, the Border Patrol, ICE, US Customs, state & local LEO agencies, deportation judges & prosecutores & expenses, and help pay for many other government expense - as well as allow a huge cuts in income, sales, and property taxes
The IRS knows with 90 days if an employee is an illegal alien or using faked or stolen SS and other IDs
The government knows within a few short days if a prospective buyer of a handgun is an honest USA citizen who may purchase
Obviously if the government can check out honest American firearms buyers in a few days - they do not care if it takes 90 days to spot an illegal alien or and ID thief - and then do nothing about it to the employer or the illegal alien employee
At the rate things are going now - I believe that some of these crooked employers and bureaucrats and politicians are crossing into an area that is not a safe or sane place to be
I do not advocate anything regarding their futures or well being that is illegal - I just am playing Mz. Cleo here -
Not a "Marshal Plan"
A "Patton Plan"...........
P.S. - If anyone thinks that millions of illegal aliens will be lining up to pay dinky $1,000 fines under the proposed Kennedy-McCain bill - they are insane......
