“Aren’t the funds already approved?”

According to Duncan Hunter, the approved funds are sitting there ready to go.

If fences don’t work, why is there one around the White House? The wall the Israelis built seems to work and went up fairly quick. America has it’s own sons and daughters on the fence between the North and South Korea, why can’t we bring them home and put them on our own fence?

[DTogo]

The Saudis get it. Why can't the democRATS get it?

Why can't the Big Business sell-outs in the GOP get it??

[Plutarch]

I am in the construction industry...the costs are staggering....

Yup, a physical fence would make for a lot of staggering costs in the construction industry, what with the way it would hinder illegals from being available for cheap labor and all.

A virtual fence will stop virtually nothing....

Right on, DTogo. The hand of the National Chamber of Commerce is very influential, along with others I'm sure.

I guess we will have to buy a lot fencing from China to meet the demand.

Yeah, what's up with that? We've been deployed to the Korean front since 1950. We need to end the Korean War now! US out of Korea. We need an exit strategy.

not to mention any of the 500 million South and Central Americans who might wish to come to this country illegally.

I know we have South and Central Americans coming here illegally but the primary problem is with Mexico, which is in North America.

LOL, how lone will it take rudy to put the collars on all the southern illegals that may try to cross the border. LOL

The cost is also staggering.

We will have a net gain based on all the unpaid doctors bills the tax payers pick up each year.

A 2,000 mile state-of-the-art border fence has been estimated to cost between four and eight billion dollars. Costs for a wall that would run the entire length of the border might be as low as $851 million for a standard 10-foot prison chain link fence topped by razor wire. For another $362 million, the fence could be electrified. A larger 12-foot tall, two-foot-thick concrete wall painted on both sides would run about $2 billion."

We spend $100 billion a year in Iraq. Our sourthern border is just as important to national security as Iraq.

Any presidential candidate advocating for a virtual fence will get my virtual vote.

[Boonie]

Oh, they “get it” all right...Both Dem’s and Rep’s...They just don’t “want it”...They want the “illegal” votes from illegals...They want the cheap labor to ensure their corporate graft keeps coming in..

I, for one, put a difference between American conservatives and any politician...American conservatives want what is best for America....politicians want what is best for....politicians...

[bigjoesaddle]

WHoever is elected for four years better not expect ANOTHER four years if the fence isn’t built!
