Minutemen... Doing the job politicians and Mexicans won't do.

Do you think a nation should exercise control over the flow of non-citizens into its territory? A superb question to provoke discussion rather the endless trading of insults.
I notice no one has taken you up on it yet.

I can't believe you think freedom is freedom from the law.

As you can see, LPM1888 hasn't returned to answer your excellent question. Actually, s/he exhibits a
pattern of ignoring the hard questions. IMHO, it's pointless to engage this individual.
Viva los MinuteMen!

Even better - send this in with the solicitations from politicians or the GOP for campaign funds:
"A donation of $50 has been made in your name to the Minuteman Border Fence"

Did you mean 1.584 Billion??? Much smaller sum. I imagine that the border states spend this amount of money each and every year on services for illegals. That's not much more than the L.A. Unified School district budget. More than half the kids in the LAUSD are "immigrants" (not classified, of course).

"BTW, do have a picture of communist leader Erich Honneker hanging in your home or office? Since you seem to admire so much the communist building of the wall."
No. I am no admirer of the Communists. I merely pointed out that the Wall achieved the political objective of the Communists. Didn't about 1 1/2 million Ossies cross West through Berlin? The Wall stopped it. I don't have to like it. Fences can work.

"No, just welcoming good people to America." Then I suppose you'd like to go ahead and re-imburse the rest of us for the tens-of-billions per year that they are costing us out of your own pocket?

You've added some extra zeroes to your figure:
1.056^7 x 150 = 1.584^9
That would be 1,584,000,000 1.584 BILLION, not 1.584 trillion.

Thank you for your welcome...I have lurked too long and guess I would like to be a Freeper :-)
You are correct about the nature of the walls...There is a big difference in the purpose.
IMHO, I am a bit concerned about the construction of the U.S. wall resulting in misuse or presenting a bad image for the U.S. We have long been known for freedom and erecting walls does not have a freedom tag associated with it.

Do you think a nation should exercise control over the flow of non-citizens into its territory? I repeat Swain's question. Not in a taunting way ... I truly want to understand what the pro-illegal-immigration folks ... the ones labeling everybody xenophobes and bigots ... are themselves proposing.
A completely open border? A continuation of the current enforcement system?
If letting, say, 80% through is good and moral and healthy for our nation ... why not drop all pretense and let 100% through?
I truly don't understand what is being proposed by the President, McCain, Kennedy ... and others who oppose serious border enforcement.

"No, trillion. 1.58X10E9"
1x10^6 = 1 million
1x10^9 = 1 billion
1x10^12 = 1 trillion

1.58 Billion Even Einstein forgot to carry the 1 now and then. (c:
You had your math right in your other posts...Getting half the job done would require 5.2 million Americans to donate $150. It would be $5.28 for all 300,000,000 Americans. Divided between tax paying adults (how many? 60M?) and it would be about $25 each.
Maybe we can have each illegal build a foot of fence right before we deport them. Lets see...how many have we deported...three or four...ooh, that could take a while. (c:

(1.584 Billion) That's not much more than the L.A. Unified School district budget. More than half the kids in the LAUSD are "immigrants" (not classified, of course). Wow! I thought I might be underestimating. I remember seeing some stats on what illegal immigration is costing our border states for all the schooling, health care, law enforcement, etc... All combined I bet it would pay for a fence in weeks.

Well, our minutemen took charge over the illegals at the border...since the feds wouldn't...the feds are continuing to ignore the screams coming from us, the real American Citizens...now the minutemen are going to build a fence...this is great!!! I'm lovin' it. You can bet they'll be lots of money available to build it.
