Yes he does and obviously you don’t. The Military will not be engaged in policing the citizens of this country. Check your history and you will find that many of the cavalry forts and outposts were tasked with going after the likes of Pancho Villa and other cross border bandits after they got Geronimo. Ft. Huachuca was one of those.

Maybe he can call his fence an empowerment zone so whoever lives near it will receive the tax credits as his 999 plan states.

I’m thinking a high tension voltage feed of about 500,000 volts would be appropriate.

“Brent Wilkes, Vice Chair of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, said Mr. Cain’s remarks were reflective of increasingly harsh prescriptions for dealing with illegal immigration being offered by Republican presidential candidates.”

Looks like Cain’s hitting some pay dirt here...

“Notice he didn’t mention the tunnels or the ability to very easily defeat the electric fence.”

Ridiculous! People can just lollygag across the Border now,,,, wherever, and whenever, they want to. A true fence makes it much, much harder to cross. Tunnels? Defeating an electric fence? Come on! Very much harder than a wide open border!

I see you're another of the hyper-euphoric and hypersensitive Cain supporters. Good for you.

>>>>>>You’ve been on Free Republic for the last few days bashing Cain.

Your idea of bashing is my idea of fair criticism. On FR we conservatives always offer honest and fair criticism no matter who the target is.

Btw, look it up on my posts. You'll see. My three choices from the get go have been, Perry, the longshot, Cain, the long long shot and Bachmann, the long long long shot.

Why does it have to be either-or? Do you have two locks on your front door? If so, why not just one?

He left out his alligator moats though. Yes, he is sounding like Ron Paul.

Rick Perry supports aerial Surveillance of the border.

I think there may be a hitch with using 20mm tank cannons on folks though, unless we declare open war with Mexico.

Last I checked the troops were pretty busy on the other side of the world.

If you can't have a good time doing it politics is too dangerous for you. Best to insert a bit of humor into the issues ~ what comes up; what can drown; what will catch fire and who will get caught doing it in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong crowd.

But here we already have arrived at TWO SOLUTIONS derived boldly from ONE MISTAKE. The solar panels from those bankrupt solar power companies can provide all the electricity we need to power that electric fence in the more remote regions! The public will recover the billions of dollars that would have just gone down the Obama drain ~ and we will have JOBS.

"Phuck you."

Wow! that really advanced the argument now didn't it? You must be one of those OWS lunatics that we see uttering the same learned responses.

OK, skip the A10 gatling gun idea. How about Predators with Hellfires? They seem to be effective elsewhere. Maybe we can have the same command posts controlling the ones in Yemen as well as the ones on the border.

We have the power to build it on the Mexican side.

“The electrified fence idea won’t work, for the same reason that the plain fence idea won’t work. They will just put a non-conductive tarp over it as they climb over.”

Amazing how many geniuses we have on this site...

If he really said this then his rise is over. It is silly and nonsensical to behave in this manner. If it isn't satire then Cain won't even be VP....

It's just more Red Meat that fits on a bumper sticker:

"Cain in 2012 for Electric Fence in 2013!"

Back in the days of the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, the first candidate spoke for 60 minutes, the second spoke for 90 minutes and then the first candidate spoke again for 30 minutes. Americans back then may their decision based on the full extent of information.

Today, far too many Americans make their decision by reacting to silly Sound Bites made during 30 second responses.

Fence = Good

"No Fence in the middle of the desert" = "Perry supports illegal immigration"

The fact of the matter is THE FENCE STRATEGY ADVOCATED BY PERRY IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FENCE STRATEGY USED BY THE STATE OF ISRAEL.

One of my old Navy Captains used to say, "Load brain before firing mouth". However, "loading the brain" takes effort. Is is far easier to be a loose cannon and simply fire statements such as:

"No Fence in the middle of the desert sounds like the State of Israel supports Palestinian terrorist infiltrators to me".

"No Fence in the middle of the desert sounds like the Governor of Texas supports supports illegal immigration to me."

Here are the facts:

The map below represents the Israeli Fence on its southern border.

An Israeli Prime Minister would describe it like this:

"Strategic fencing along the border, especially in high traffic areas where manpower alone is insufficient to do the job."

That quote, however, are the words of Governor Perry.

In the areas corresponding to and extending 50 km (31 miles) from the high population areas of Gaza and the Gulf of Acaba shore, the Israelis have built their Fence.

In the middle of nowhere in the Negev Desert (which corresponds to the middle of nowhere in the Texas Desert), THE ISRAELIS HAVE BUILT NO FENCE.

That area can be easily patrolled with air assets and Israeli troops can be sent where needed to easily round up crossers struggling to travel through the middle of the Negev Desert. The Negev Desert region of the southern Israeli border is the EXACT equivalent of the Texas desert regions of the U.S. southern border.

Any crosser stupid enough to attempt to cross a well patrolled desert border is intercepted within an hour when helos appear overhead and "Boots on the Ground" follow shortly thereafter because Rick Perry made them available.

"Border Leader"

"Border"

Building a Fence in the middle of the desert does absolutely NOTHING since a Fence in the middle of the desert is defeated in seconds.

YouTube Video: Watch how fast illegal aliens can climb over, cut through and go under the worthless Border Fence

Electrify a Fence in the midle of a desert?

It will be subjected to dozens of dynamite attacks daily until it is nothing more the Swiss cheese.

Why have the Israelis adopted this particular Fence strategy?

Because it WORKS.

The Israelis base their defense strategies on what WORKS and not on the knee-jerk emotionalism of "No Fence in the middle of the desert sounds like the State of Israel supports Palestinian terrorist infiltrators to me".

But, why shouldn't Texans just favor building a Fence along it's entire southern border just to please those who claim "No Fence in the middle of the desert sounds like Texans support illegal immigration"?

For very practical reasons.

1.) A FENCE IN THE TEXAS DESERT AREAS WOULD CUT OFF RANCHER'S CATTLE FROM THEIR RIO GRANDE WATER SOURCE.

2.) A FENCE IN THE TEXAS DESERT AREAS WOULD BE A MASSIVE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LAND GRAB THAT WOULD STEAL THE ENTIRE RIO GRANDE RIVERFRONT FROM RIVERFRONT PROPERTY OWNERS AND GIVE IT TO MEXICO.

Do not know, but they use wild animals fence chargers in Africa to turn elephants. A lock and a fence is a deterrent, you deal with people that break locks with a gun, and if you dig, over, under, around, are however, the thing you deal with next is a gun. End of border problem. And if they want to hang their babies on the fence, we had nothing to do with it, we have plenty of nuts that kill babies here already.
