These Mexican army incursions prove more than anything else the absolute necessity for an effective border fence. The fact that the Bush administration covers up these violations of our sovereignty is an outrage.
If the Left had a brain in their head, this is what they'd be hammering GW on.
Go back to DU, troll!

Will a border fence stop tunnels from being built/used?
El Presidente Jorge Arbusto loves cheap labor.
Where is W ? Where he has always been......promoting illegal immigration with every speech!
A good one would.
But the first requirement is not building something, it's getting leadership who cares more about our nation than some damned treasonous socialist mega-community.
What is the U.S. doing covering up for the Mexican Army?
"Will a border fence stop tunnels from being built/used?"
Were the Mexican Army incursions under discussion accomplished by tunnels?
I don't know the answer to the question, but I'll offer an opinion in the form of a question. Could it be money?
No media is going to attempt to find out. The answer would possibly get the whole family doing the 6 footer.

It isn't difficult to not find what you're not looking for.
Not this discussion; I was referencing the one from last week. Seemed like a logical segue to me.
Good one.
No doubt drug smugglers, as recently evidenced, would be willing to expend a lot of money and effort to tunnel under a fence since they will tunnel even when there is no fence so as to avoid detection. I don't know how effective sensors placed along a fence would be in detecting tunneling. And I don't know how deep a concrete foundation would have to be to deter all but the most resourceful tunnelers. But I am convinced that an Israeli-type fence would greatly diminish walk-across the border illegal immigrants. I'm open to suggestions for impeding the drug smugglers. Right now, I am most interested in ending the invasion of millions of illegal aliens.
I am just happy the news of these intrusions is finally getting out to the general public. They have been happening for years and the violence is escalating. For a long time we could not get anyone to believe these incidents were happening at all. Even fairly recently here on FR, many just couldn't believe it. It all just sounds too far fetched and no one could imagine that our government would allow it to happen.
I have always believed if the truth of what happens on the border is told, that is the first step to forcing something to be done to fix it. Yes we need a real fence and I hope everyone realizes what ever it costs will be cheap in the long run.
That was good.
Mexican soldiers: doing the patrolling American soldiers haven't been ordered to do.
(But, but--aren't they supposed to stay in . . . . Mexico?)
The diplomacy really is going to hit the fan when a good citizen shoots a member of this invading army.
