Actually he is for a fence as well as more boots on the ground

Where’s the fence? Not in the Immigration Bill!
The Comprehensive Immigration Bill debated in the Senate last week was dead on arrival. Most regular folks kept screaming, “Where’s the fence?”

The Immigration Bill was supposed to be good compromise legislation. It is just bad legislation with different agendas glued together, while not emphasizing enough of the public’s number one priority - the fence! Not just wire, wood and concrete, but all the technologies we have available to stop the rampant inflow of illegal aliens into this country.

Reminds me of a story about a farmer in Prescott, Arkansas back in the 70s who wanted an electrical fence to keep his hunting dogs from getting loose. He got a bid from an electrical contractor and thought it was too high so he decided to build it himself. He ran 120 volt wires around the pen and a few days later he found all of his dogs’ bloated bodies hung up in the fence. Sad but true story.

However, if that did happen on the border I guarantee it would stop the crossings.

By the way, did Cain use the word “deadly”?

He wanted to put moats and alligators? Very cute, indeed.

Well, most of the Cain supporters on that thread about the electrified fence took him seriously on that and supported him to a scary degree.

He needs to stop making outrageous suggestions and then saying it was a joke.

Border issues are not a joke and Cain obviously knows very little about the border or the problem.

You still haven’t posted an example of the “vicious hatred of Mexicans.” Slandering unnamed FReepers and the management is a sleazeball tactic and it doesn’t belong here.

I guess you were right. I meant to link to this post...

You are proving yourself to be a racist on this board and would do yourself and everyone else a favor if you would knock off the cursing and ugly talk and get some sleep.

I got confused because they were double teaming on another FReeper with the race card.
