No, they're not. They make money off of the problem--both from speechifying and soliciting campaign donations from those who want to solve the problem, and in campaign donations from the folks who are causing the problem in the first place.
If they wanted the problem stopped, they'd support a sea-to-shining-sea fence and enough bodies to patrol it. They aren't supporting that kind of fence--just a short fence to cover where people would notice it, and not nearly enough border patrol agents to patrol even a comprehensive fence, let alone one with 1,400 miles of holes in it.
Don't you and Dane have a group therapy session to attend tonight?
Don't you have a gay bathhouse to earn your living in tonight?
You need help, but I don't need your patronage badly enough to follow you into that type of establishment. You're just going to have to conduct your little meeting on your own.
This new book sounds interesting:
The Blitzkrieg Legend - The 1940 Campaign In The West
Author: Karl-Heinz Frieser
Just a little touchy, huh?
Aren't you a leading skeptic of this fence?
Oh, well we should just give up then and succumb to FTAA, thereby doing away with all borders and, hey, while we're at it let's toss out our Constitution and Bill of Rights as well.
Ok, my vote is NO. !!BUILD THE STINKING FENCE ALREADY!!
I patrolled the DMZ in Korea for a year. If we can mine and patrol their border for the ROK, why can't we do the same for our own?
I once wrote of ging around the Capitl beltway. Now areound this beltway they have a fence to keep out the noise from the neighborhoods. this fence is 30 feet high and solid concrete and on both side of a 60 mile beltway. If we canb afford to build a fence 120 mlles long for a hioghwat that is just to keep out noise , we can afford to build a 30 foot concrete wall to keep out terrorists and others who wish to enter our country illegally.
IMO the problem is not the cost or the environment damage its our political connections with mexico and the fact that our politicians eventually want to see open borders, with free passage.
