Hoyer: If We Built Border Fence, Children Would Just Stand Behind It

House Democratic Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) says illegal immigrant children would “just stand at the fence” if the federal government built the double-layered fence required under the 2006 Secure Fence Act.

During a press briefing Tuesday, CNSNews.com asked Hoyer, “Should Congress revisit building a physical, double-layered fence as was included in the 2006 Secure Fence Act?”

“Let’s say you build a fence, just hypothetically, and you saw five hundred children standing at the fence, and you saw them standing there 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours. There’s a fence there and they can’t go anywhere and they stay there. What do you do?” Hoyer responded.

Isn’t that what the fence is intended to do?

So build a wall so we don’t have to look at them.

What do you do? I don’t know, Steny, how about LET MEXICO DEAL WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY’RE MEXICANS ON SOVREIGN MEXICAN SOIL.

Sorry for the caps. These idiots have me at my last nerve today.

In the old days, Texas ranchers on the border posted their land. Outriders would patrol the land looking for rustlers, trespassers, thieves, etc. My understanding is they would shoot illegals and dump them in the Rio Grande.

Why do we even need the Fed’s to protect our property?

Round up the other 25 Million illegals and put them on the other side of the fence to keep them company.

Let them stand there for a while? I have a feeling that they don’t come up through Mexico to stand at a fence. I think it’s for the free stuff.

That idiot stenny should be told its better having these illegals behind that fence than in our country sucking the life out of our taxpayers and economy.

I for one am tired of feeding these ParSites and watching my tax load go up on everything.

Then they would be Mexico’s problem not ours.

Mexico is the one letting these illegals cross THEIR Southern Border and travel the length of Mexico to get to our Southern Border.

Mexico could shut this down in one second if they wanted to but they are actually enabling the disasters.

The Solution is make this Mexico’s problem, not ours by keeping the invasion on the Mexican side of the border.

Heck, I’d put all we have right now in buses, back the buses up to the border anyplace, push the kids out the back door.

Then call the Mexican govt and tell them to come pick up their kids. Any Guats or El Sals? Your problem.

Does anyone think, after a true fence is made, when word filters south, they might just stop coming?
