Have you ever noticed that Canada doesn't have an illegal problem? That's because their immigration rate is 80% higher than the US.

They also have a guestworker program, and they're a lot farther away from Mexico than we are. As far as the U.S. goes, if we cannot adequately check the backgrounds of the current 900,000 legals per year coming in, what makes you think we can handle another 720,000 immigrants or do adequate background checks for a guestworker program, if we decide we want such a thing?

Be careful, you are making a good argument for the path.

You mean the guestworker program, or the NAFTA superdupermoonbat highway? Whether we want this guestworker program ultimately comes down to whether Americans are willing to accept cheap foreign labor (apart from the illegal alien underground economy, that is).

On the otherhand, if you're talking about the Path to Citizenship and the Hell with the Rubes who Play by the Rules, a guestworker program can be put in place that does not have a path to citizenship.

sneaking through the back door is a quiet but well-greased effort to build a monster highway that is part and parcel of a plan to wipe out the borders altogether

Shhh!

The truth is that the highway goes straight to Canada with no exits. Time for some back bacon tacos.

A guestworker plan would require a compromise that congress is not willing to make.

Sorry, but this IS moonbat stuff.

It certainly is.

Good. Maybe all the illegals should take it.

No I don't agree. I do not think it is moon bat stuff.

Thanks for posting this. It is clear from the posts that those who label this moonbat stuff are ostriches with their heads in the sand and their rear ends exposed. Moonbats atleast are free and can tell the difference between night and day.

We don't need it, that is what is suspicious.

I've only been to Texas a few times, but every time I'm there the traffic is as bad as Jersey.

TX needs new roads from what I can see.

North American Perimeter Security: Mexico and Canada grant the US the authority to secure their borders. If the US can control who and what are entering Mexico and Canada, the US will have beter control over who and what are entering the US from each of those countries. Plus the freight train can cross the border without slowing down. S 853 by Richard Luger.

Is this an ideal solution in your opinion?

Nothing is ideal, but since there are significant numbers of containers passing thru Mex-Can bound for the US, and the number of containers will be increasing, it is a very good idea.

The underlying concept is to cerifiably secure a container at its point of packing, at its port of origin, at the Mexican port, and at the Texas border port.

This is already being done thru-out the world. We even have a few express truck lanes on the border thru which certifiable freight can pass more quickly.

The border fence will never be built. As the article indicates, the goal is the economic and ultimate political integration of America, Mexico and Canada.

One of the primary reasons I think that the GOP will do so poorly on 11/7 is that the base is furious over the TTC, Nafta Highway, NAU and the planned sellout of U.S. sovereignty via treaty arrangements.

Folks are furious.

"In a previous column, we spotlighted one little-discussed reason elected leaders fight back so fiercely against the demands of the voters on this issue — i.e., Mexico has oil, and we may need more of it someday."

More likely it has a lot to do with the 20 to 40 Billion dollar drug trade from the US to the Mexican Drug cartels. They own their police, military and politicians.... a river is going to keep them from buying the same on this side of the border?? Not likely...follow the money.
