San Diego border fence proceeds slowly

We built the Panama Canal in 11 years.

We put a man on the moon in less than a decade.

And these morons are telling us that at their current rate it's gonna take them 50 years to build a stinking fence?

Un-flipping-believable.

They truly believe we are morons. It must take them a great deal of self control not to break out laughing when discussing the invasion.

Back during Shamnesty 1, somebody posted a link to a chatboard used by Congressional staffers.

The condescension and arrogance displayed by these punks was unreal. My blood just boiled while I read their comments about their 'yokel constituents'.

You know, Travis, I'd really like to take my son to DC sometime to show him all the history there. But I'm honestly afraid that were I ever to go there I'd run into some of these pukes and just start kicking ass.

And once I started, I don't think I'd be able to stop.

The Homeland Security Department has yet to say where it will build fences in California, Arizona and New Mexico. And the only proposal made public so far — for Texas — drew immediate criticism and is being reworked. Opponents worried it would limit access to the Rio Grande, damage the environment and infuriate Mexicans who cross the border to shop and visit.

Um, unless those "visiting shoppers" from mexico are crossing the border, wherever, why should it infuriate them?

That makes no damn sense what so ever.

Here's a version of your idea. Codetoad has formatted it for an 11 by 3.5 bumper sticker. But I wonder if anybody would "get it?" Is the era of bumper stickers over?

[Plains Drifter]

Aaahhh, do you mean to tell me that limp wristed Bob Filner is no help. I thought he was the people’s champion.

[Lurker]

I love it.

We need a quick business plan my friend.

Is the era of bumper stickers over?

Not if I have anything to do with it!

I don’t believe anything the politicians tell us. Anything that happens in politics is foreseen, willed, and intended.

We built the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the world, in 400 days, back in 1931!

During The Depression no less!

And we also started the Hoover Dam that year, took four out of a projected six years to finish. Not as fast as Empire State, but a little more involved.

From above: The area has long been difficult for the Border Patrol because of the rugged terrain and is currently being modified by the National Guard using earth moving equipment(?).

You'd think the Guard would have heard about a little earth altering technique known as "explosives".

Whatever happened to the "can do" spirit this country used to have?

[Travis McGee]

Thanks to Teddy Roosevelt, the fedgov already has a 75’ wide cleared “government road” or “Roosevelt road” all the way across the Mexican border. He took it by eminent domain, for federal use. So they can’t believably complain the terrain makes fence building hard, except in a few spots like Smuggler’s Gulch in western San Diego. All it takes is will. If the president wanted it built, it could be built all the way across in a year, by starting in 20 places at once with 20 contractors. Obviously, our elite masters want an open border, and consider us mere peasants to be easily gulled morons.

[Travis McGee]

Do you like the wavy flag, or would a square one be better? What about the “Hey! Illegal aliens...”, should that be bigger?

[Lurker]

I like the wavy flag myself, and yes I think the "Hey" text should be just a bit bigger.

But that's just me.

Good Post Travis.........Defense in depth of physical, electronic and economical barriers with monitoring by Border Patrol, local LEO’s and “Legal” Citizens, of this nation will reduce the problem to a manageable situation.

If I have sugar ants on the kitchen counter, I clean up the sugar and the ants look elsewhere........Employers who hire illegals are my primary “local” target. Easier to put ICE on the criminal acts of an individual employer or corporation than having to ICE down an entire population to see who is or isn’t playing by the rules........

Legal Immigration is a good thing for America that must be allowed. Illegals do nothing but keep it fouled !
