CLOSING THE BORDERS simply is impractical. There is no 'gate', no 'keys' that close the border.

Not so. And glad you brought that up.

The San Diego Wall: The Joke's On You

Now, what WOULD work? Why, it's really quite simple. Ask the Israelis, they KNOW what works. A simple and cheap (but highly effective) multiple fence system, with a plowed tracking strip and sensors. Such a fence would permit the USBP to observe the smugglers moving around on the other side, instead of shielding them from view like the Awesome San Diego Wall.

I assume you saw this article:

Voters Won't Fall For Bait-and-Switch

by Phyllis Schlafly
Nov. 2, 2005

Chertoff told the Senate committee that he already has "aggressive efforts underway" to ensure that employers who violate current laws "face appropriate punishment." Really? At least ten million illegal aliens are now working in the United States, but only three employers in the entire nation were fined in 2004.

In his Saturday radio address, President Bush bragged that "we've doubled the resources for work site enforcement since 2004." Does that mean we can expect six employers to be fined next year?

Obviously, Chertoff has no plans to do anything about the ten million illegal entrants who already entered illegally and are now living across the country from Maine to California.

It's hard to take Chertoff's promises seriously when they are prefaced by the false braggadocio that "President Bush has placed the utmost importance on border security." The latest 28-question opinion survey circulated to donors by the Republican Party does not include even one question about illegal aliens or immigration, further manifesting the Bush Administration policy of sweeping this issue under the rug.

Why bother debating the Quislings? Every word they post is a lie. They know it, we know it. Their agenda is not what they say, they are flying under false colors, they are false flag freepers.

Quisling: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.

But at least they keep the threads bumped, and every reply means 15 more lurkers read the article.
