I know, I know...it could never happen here, could it?
Doesn't the government already have laws preventing people from taking their own property in the form of cash out of the country if it exceeds what the goverment deems to be too much?
Electric fence won’t work in the Rio Grande.
No one’s even proposed spending that kind of money. And it wouldn’t be good for farmers, cattle, or kids. Texans live and work there.
In order to control the 1200 mile border in Texas, ranch-destroying fence or not,you need to patrol the border.
Look what happened to the Indians. Spain and France packed up and left.
Do not have the time right now to look for links but a sector of the Yuma AZ area is using some high tech ideas for border control and it seems to be working.
Oops, those boots will be on farm and ranch land.
OTOH, we are ordered by the courts to give illegals our life savings and land if we so much as look at them funny.
The governor said he didn’t like adding liability to the local Sheriff’s and police departments if they failed to properly ID someone.
Is it too late to dust off Gingrich?
'Just fine' is a gross understatement.
Today, Henry is assistant chief of the Border Patrol's San Diego sector. He says apprehensions here are down 95 percent, from 100,000 a year to 5,000 a year, largely because the single strand of cable marking the border was replaced by double — and in some places, triple — fencing.
"Here in San Diego, we have proven that the border infrastructure system does indeed work," Henry says. "It is highly effective."
My position has always been that in order to reduce illegal immigration, we must eliminate the incentives they have to immigrate here. That means no welfare, healthcare or jobs. Make America inhospitable to illegals and they'll stay home. Make America the "Promised Land" to illegals and no fence will keep them out.
A fence is nothing more than a knee-jerk "feel good" plan. Looks good on a bumper sticker but is of no real use. And, yes, Governor Perry will likely pay for his candor on this subject.
Israel’s border is??

About 400 miles.
They also have way less people.
Sheriff Joe reported that Perry called him and they had a long talk on immigration.
I’m very curious to see what comes from that conversation.

The United States did a sea to sea thing, a good deal of that aided by Spaniards who didn't care for Spanish rule and certainly not rule by the Grandees in Mexico and other former Spanish provinces/colonies.
It's kind a fun digging into Spanish history in North America ~ for a great deal of the time there were few Spaniards and few places. They spent a lot of time figuring out trade routes and trying to find gold. They also figured out how to turn Indian corn into good whiskey.
Plus the smoked hams and other meats ~ they modified the traditional Indian methods, improved the technology, and made sure that in the future when someone visited America there'd be plenty of good stuff to eat besides dog and the Three Sisters (beans, squash and corn).
The French didn't pack up and leave. Real Frenchmen fled to Vincinnes and the Green River Valley after the Britsh defeated the White Coats in Canada.
Their descendants are still around BTW. About 30 million of them!
Late to the Party Ping!
Check fence, its not one layer but multiple layers. Its cheap, if India can afford, US should have no problem. Only will is required.

He will pay for it in the primary. Don’t get to worked up by Perry’s stripper numbers, likely not to hold up, it’s very early. If he wins the nomination I will vote for him.
Its inevitable some sort of amnesty will have to be worked out.
But CLEARLY, Perry is OUT OF HIS MIND if he thinks either he can get nominated or any resolution of the problem with illegal invaders here can be worked out WITHOUT militarizing our southern border.
I’d settle for sharks with Fricken Lazers!!!!
