Actually,I don’t think the majority of Americans will support and electrified fence. In the past, extreme measures were supported. But I don’t see that to be the case today.
Believe me, we do not talk the same language at all.
In fact..this whole moats, alligators, bombs, electrify them thread makes me sad..so I must refrain from any further response..
You really don’t do Mr. Cain any favor.
What in the world is going on Free Republic with this kind of talk?
I think Cain has really jumped the shark on this one, probably because he has advisors who read FR and assume from the more violent posters that the main concern of the entire country at this moment is keeping Mexicans away.
People who are extremely anti-immigration are very extreme about it and say really appalling things that I have a hard time believing any real conservative would say (and frankly, I think some of the more hate-filled posters are probably Dem agents provocateurs, because there are a lot of names I never ever see post on any other threads). They have managed to portray Perry as pro-open borders, whatever that means, and Cain is responding to this.
However, even from a political point of view, this shows that Cain is just winging it. He is saying whatever he thinks will serve to destroy Perry ... but he seems to be unaware of the fact that just 4% of the electorate indicates immigration (of any kind) as their main concern. So I think Cain is playing to an imaginary base, and in doing so, is revealing his game.

I haven’t gone beyond Cain’s plans (that’s plenty) and I agree that moats, alligators, and bombs are silly. I even admonished one person on this thread who talked to me about land mines. But it does show the level of frustration with our border control efforts, and convinces me that A LOT of people outside our forum will appreciate Cain proposing some solid tough-love steps to deal with it.

We’re “heartless.” heehee
