The Duncan Hunter 15' X 700 Miles Fence

The president of Marxist Mexico, Vincente Fox, is a real busybody when it comes to sticking his nose into the affairs of the United States. He has more crust than a loaf of bread.
Early in December, 2005, it was announced that a federal judge had lifted the final barrier stopping the United States from completion of a fence along much of its border with Mexico. Fox has been more than critical of the fence plan ever since he heard about it. His problem seems to be that it will keep all the illegals on his side of the border, where most of them belong anyway, instead of letting them sneak across into our Southwestern states so they can get all the free welfare goodies on this side. He called the new fence a violation of "human and labor rights." Whose human and labor rights--why those of the illegal immigrants of course. So if illegals are not allowed to enter this country illegally we are now violating their human rights!
To listen to Fox's political posturing you would think that Mexico, almost single-handedly built the United States. He ranted: "It would be hard to know what would happen to the economy of the United States if it wasn't for the enormous contribution, the productivity, the quality of work of our countrymen in that country." If that line of hogwash were true, then why are conditions so bad in Mexico that people are scrambling to get out? Mexico must truly be the "workers' paradise." Well, not quite. The socialism and corruption that are so omnipresent there have contributed to a society that has many cultural problems.

Pressure to reform the Mexican government will build without the release valve of illegal immigration.
Fox is starting to create the type of backlash his remarks deserve.
If the release valve is closed, I would advise Fox to stay away from ESSO stations.
"It would be hard to know what would happen to the economy of the United States if it wasn't for the enormous contribution, the productivity, the quality of work of our countrymen in that country"
Hey, I'm willing to experiment.:0)

Good pictures. They show the problem clearly.
How bout some barbed wire on top of that border fence in the last picture, maybe an electrified fence in front of that, a minefield in front of that, and behind the final fence (on the US side) some 50 foot guard towers with armed guards, Barret M82A1 positions, and machine guns (preferably belt fed)
That reform is going to be communism aka Castro. This is why Bush does not want to put pressure on Mexico through the open border. Those poor people who escape here don't join revolutions... The US does not want a Castro on the border.
But, on the other hand, we can not tolerate the open border for what it does against our own country and people even if it means Mexico finally falls to full blown communism. They won't reform into an American style open economy and political/social/legal system because they are corrupt to the core. We are damned if we do and damned if we don't as far as Mexico goes. It is not a happy future for anybody.
Way way overdue!
I'd like to see people as upset about the socialism in teh united states as they are at illegal immigration.
Fox just has way too much time on his hands. Let's give him a project--like building a wall.
let's be serious. Mexicans aren't going to conduct 9/11 type attacks against us. Immigration has generally been a good thing throughout our country's history. It drives economic growth.
Indeed, immigration is what our country was founded on, recall Ronald Reagan:
I've spoken of the shining city all my political life, but I don't know if I ever quite communicated what I saw when I said it. But in my mind it was a tall proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, wind-swept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace, a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity, and if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here. That's how I saw it and see it still.
And how stands the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was eight years ago. But more than that; after 200 years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness, toward home.
