It was unclear whether the fence building bill would receive sufficient support to pass in both houses of Congress. That's fine...get them on record as having voted against this...and when there is a terrorist attack that can be traced to having come across the southern boarder we can hold them personally responsible.

Hunter could never find common ground with a president who wants to give away the farm to lawbreakers.

Now how bout carting away the employers that hire Illegals. $100,000 fine per illegal and 2 years in the click.Split the fine with citizens that turn in offenders and the problem would be solved overnight.

Actually, the overall US economy would improve when you factor in such things as how much illegals cost the average taxpayer.

Really? I never knew that...interesting...is it on the basis that People would be paid more to do more jobs, which would throw more $$ into the economy?

They were discussing this last night on the news.
Seems the plan is to build THREE walls. The First
easily crossed but with a wide avenue before
arriving at the SECOND wall of solid concrete,
14 feet high. Then the THIRD wall is comprised
of concrete with barbed wire at the top. They
were making bets about how desperate an illegal
would have to be to successfully scale all three walls.
I have a solution: ELECTRIFY the wired wall with
Jurasaic Park voltage!

So do you disagree that there is a cost to Illegals?

Build the fence. Build it right.
Ask Isreal how to do it.
Let the economy adjust; it's just not worth it.

I'm going to assume that your screen name indicates that you are from HK.
All but the most rabid agree that illegal immigration costs the US taxpayers (there is no such thing as "government" money - it comes from you) a phenomenal amount in schooling, health care, health care, health care, imprisonment of criminals, unlicensed drivers, law enforcement, etc, etc, etc. that any small benefit to the overall economy by using unlawful labor. ( And I truly doubt that there is ANY benefit from that)
Did I mention health care?
Build the wall - enforce the law

Considering that there are no known incidents of terrorists entering the country from the Mexican border -- they have come from the north -- I think this is more about keeping out the dirty Mexicans.

I can't view the Minute Men projects as anything more than xenophobia until I see them out patrolling that long stretch of Canadian border.

Tell me all about the 8 million illegal Canadians sucking our welfare dry, clogging our jails and driving down wages.
