You know what? Screw em. Can you imagine the outrage if donations poured in to border ranchers to construct a real fence on their own land?

I've thought of this as a solution, as well. I'd bet, however, that the leftists and illegal alien apologists in the government would use environmental/endangered species laws or some such as a pretext to stop landowners from building such a fence.

I think that's already been mentioned as a "problem" with building the fence. It ranks right up there with "a fence would send the wrong message to Mexico".

What are the voter's choices? A RINO or a Dem who also wants amnesty. Plus, the immigration issue will be a moot point after an amnesty bill- the 12 million illegals will suddenly be legal guest workers. Illegal immigration won't be a very big issue for a decade or so. I probably won't vote at all if an amnesty bill passes.

I think you answered your own question when you ended the paragraph. You're not the only one who'd stay home or (better yet) vote third-party. I think a lot of Republican politicians are acutely aware of that. It's just that more of them need to be made more aware of it.

I am sorry you support the abolition of the United States in favor of a merged state with Mexico.

Because that's what we're going to get if this amnesty of illegals and subsequent massive increase in Mexican legal migration gets through.

After the surrender of 2006, there will never be a reduction in the Mexican and other 3rd-world influx. Never. In fact there is unlikely even to be a halt to its yearly acceleration.

Because if we and our "leaders" are already cowed by pressures such as this week's anti-sovereignty rallies, however, will they stand up the demands of a far larger Mexican colony five or ten years from now?

No, the lay-down of 2006 is a signal as clear as 1776 that a new political order has been declared on the North American continent -- though this time the declaration is that we are no longer "One people", and that political and other bands again connect a controlling number of our separate peoples with "another", and that the wreckage formerly known as the USA can no longer claim a separate station among the powers of the earth.

1776-2006

Nice while it lasted.

Reid has just vowed to block any immigration bill because "the minimum wage bill was not voted on".
