Pessimistic Prissies on the left.
Sounds like the Leftist girlymen think we should just give up the war on terror and we should all start wearing burqas. Losers. They want to battle the sun in their "war against global warming" but defending our borders is just too tough to do.
I'm for an Israeli-style barrier fence across the border's entire length.
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
*little tiny bleeding heart violin*
*little pinko stomping feet*
- or make that a big bleeding heart orchestra
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I am for the fence as well.
They can add up all the costs for the fence and it will still be less in the long run than what it will costs when a few Islamofascist cross the border and stage an attack on the U.S.
It will still be less than it cost to arrest/adjudicate/incarcerate illegals for crimes they commit here in the U.S.
It will still be less than the costs of giving illegals benefits (healthcare, welfare, housing, education).
Throw in the other negatives about illegals (uninsured motorist premiums is one) and you can logically conclude that:
WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS OPEN BORDER!!!!!
The idiot provided the solution to his unsolvable problem...no jobs here for illegal aliens.
As I have said over and over. A fence will help a little but the real weapon to use against illegals is state laws to : (1) Enforce Employer fines/imprisonment (2) Enable local law enforcement to arrest, hold, and deport illegals.
Oh yeah, so the solution is to do NOTHING!!!!! Geeez!, sombody pass the duct tape before my head explodes!
Yes, it will cost a little public money and no, the process will not make us popular will certain of our neighbors and many in the international community.
However, within a short period of time even the most uneducated intruder will clearly understand the options he has. Life and the pursuit of misery at home or a consequence which precludes hope if he persists.
I submit that within less than one election cycles, the vast majority will choose home and will contemplate what they can do to improve their domestic conditions. When that happens it should be our societal responsibility to assist these poor souls in determining their own destiny in their own country.
Note carefully it's always framed in an either-or all-or-nothing argument. This is known as the false dilemma in argumentation, and goes back to at least the early Greeks.
I.e. since "we can't stop illegal immigration" the implication is apparently we shouldn't even try. Since "we can't deport 12 million illegals already in the country" we shouldn't deport _any_. And so it goes.
1) Enforce Employer fines/imprisonment (2) Enable local law enforcement to arrest, hold, and deport illegals.
Thats the answer there. Serious penalty for employers giving jobs to illegals. cut ff the reason to come here and they will go away on their own. Big companies have big pull and they want cheap labor so, our security will take a back seat to that I'm afraid .

Most important!(3) Take away all government handouts. Welfare, foodstamps, WIC, public housing, etc.
I wonder how many of them were Dane?
Bttt!
