I guess if you have no argument, you have to resort to name-calling. I read what you wrote, you said we COULD build a fence, and said nothing to explain why doing so was a workable solution.
Maybe you just don’t understand the definition of “workable”< and really think it means “possible”. And that’s why you think that “unworkable” means “impossible”, and that is why you argued that it was possible, which I never said it wasn’t.
So, where do YOU want to put the fence. Do you want to give our water rights and river access to Mexico, or do you want to go to war with Mexico to take possession of the river?
You have three choices. You can build it all on their side, and get into a war for annexing the land of a sovereign country. You can build it all on OUR side, ceding American soil to a foreign country without a shot being fired, cutting off thousands of landowners from their rightful water access, and killing populations of wildlife by dehydration.
Or, you can follow the actual border line, which means you will have some fence on this side, some on that side, some crossing the river back and forth cutting off all boat access (and causing a maintenance nightmare as the river pushes crud into the fence and gets clogged up). If you choose this option, you also have to cut people off from their own property, because there are many pieces of property that cross the border.
The river has changed location dozens of times, so the border isn’t in line with the current river. The river meanders all over the place — there are places where pieces of fence that are miles apart “borderwise” are close enough you could hit a baseball completely across and back into the same country.
There are places where the border is marshland, unsuitable for any construction. Other places where it is sheer cliffs. Other places where there are no roads for miles, and nobody is ever crossing the border.
So, what is your “fence”? And do you want to fence in our entire country, or just the parts of the country that share a river border with Mexico? I ask beause we have 12 miles of border out in the gulf, and 12 miles of border out into the ocean, and if you don’t fence those, the mexicans can cross illegally with 100-dollar rowboats, cheaper than the 35-foot ladders.
We can stop them by fencing off our beaches. Do you want to fence a mile or two of the gulf and pacific ocean beaches, to make it harder for mexicans to walk along the beach at low tide into our country, or to take a rowboat, or a $1 flotation air mattress?
Or do you only favor stragegic fencing, where it is more likely they will cross? And it’s just that you are stupid enough to think that “strategic” encompasses the ENTIRE land border, even though there are hundreds of miles of that border where it would be MUCH EASIER for mexicans to hop into a fishing boat and sail to our beaches then to cross at those land borders?
Charles, you’d save a ton of typing if you eould just Answer the questions. Stop ducking and dodging like a liberal.
Just like mylife.
Why is it so hard? It’s a simple question to answer for a person who believes in the Constitution and in America.
