It comes down to this. If a fence must be built, build it on the Mexican side of the river.
If you have 100’s of miles of desert on our side, you don’t need a fence. The desert is 1000000000 times bigger obstacle than any fence.
I’m sorry for being snotty, but the Dems would be NOWHERE on Amnesty if they hadn’t, very cleverly, gotten Republicans to start knifing each other on the issue.
Their plan has WORKED GREAT. They tell big business that they will get cheap, reliable, and LEGAL labor (right now, only the first two are possible). They tell tech that we’ll import a few million more programmers (to greatly lower their costs), etc.
And these people that are nominally Republicans EAT IT UP and could CARE LESS about the future of the country for their own children and grandchildren...they just see money to be made and that is ALL that matters to them.
Amnesty and Immigration should be a NO-BRAINER in this country. If you are here illegally, you get NOTHING. If you’re caught, you’re sent home. Then you bring in temp workers for a few years at a time, leave their families home, and then send them back at the end of that period.
But if we won’t (or can’t, thanks to judges) do the above - then yes, you do what is possible - and we nearly had a fence built, until Kay ripped it out.
