Just salt the area between the first and second walls with
mines. Or just SAY we did.
Even better, assist Mexico to implement full, general private property rights immediately. People don't leave their homes they own and don't leave their businesses they own legally. That's capitalism, the source of freedom and democracy, which seems like a foreign language these days. Funny.
The lawns in my town will be just fine too.
You can build the wall but they will still come for jobs even if they have to tunnel under. Stiff fines on employers would dry up the invitation to come.
GMTA. The first thing that came to mind, on reading this thread. Jurassic Park.
Land mines would stop it cold. But their is no way we would ever do something like that.
I'm guessing you don't live in CA do you?
Long before 9/11 this was never a terrorism problem, but an economic one. Our schools are overrun, and our Emergency Rooms are shutting down.
So you want to aid and abet CRIMINAL INVADERS.
Only criminals aid and abet other criminals.
"They'll find common ground. We'll end up with a wall that runs from sea-to-sea, but it's only 1-ft. tall."
Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
Stating the obvious, the only reason to have border guards without walls or fences is so that security remains ineffective.
I know you know, but just felt the need to state it so that THEY KNOW we know. Ya know?
Wall, schmall. A lot of good a wall will do. When I lived in El Paso, one could see illegals scaling a thirty-foot high gate on the railroad bridge spanning the Rio Grande -- in plain sight of Border Patrol agents. These were mostly young men on their way to their jobs in El Paso, and they were taking quite a risk of falling to a sure death or lifelong crippling.
A wall, regardless of how much our paid time-wasters in D.C. tout it, will do absolutely no good until the people in charge have the actual WILL to stop the flow. That will not happen as long as the worthless members of congress, and our president, continue to pander for votes from this new bloc of voters.
Next we'll see some grandstanding POS in congress call for a "War on Illegal Immigration". It will be every bit as successful as LBJ's War on Poverty, and the so-called War on Drugs, unless we begin to send a strong message to those that are paid to look out for our interests that we are not going to stand for this invasion any longer.
The best, strongest, message we can send to Washington is to work for the defeat of EVERY incumbent in that cesspool of greed. I'm not holding my breath.
...."electrify the wall."
And put land mines in the areas between walls. Put plenty of signs warning illegals that they cross at their own risk.

Split the fine with citizens that turn in offenders and the problem would be solved overnight.
EXCELLENT plan!
So you refer to them as "dirty Mexicans". Have you always felt this way about Mexicans? By the way, about one million illegal aliens, many of them other-than-Mexicans, come over our southern border each year. I'm sorry to hear that you're not the least bit concerned about this massive amount of lawbreraking.
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.
Do you feel that the 47% of Hispanic voters who voted in favor of the anti-illegal alien measure Prop 200 in Arizona last year are a bunch of xenophobes?
A wall won't work. People will always find a way in. Totally stupid idea.
heh waste of money.
Yes he did. Needs to be a NYT Best Seller:
"Camp of the Saints"
The predictions have come true.
If they wanted to really do something all they have to do is enforce the laws on the books.
If something bad enough happens you watch they can stop the flow, start rounding up and shipping out those illegals that don't start running for the border in a matter of a few days and weeks.
The sad thing is that's what it's going to take and the blood is going to be on the hands of this administration.
We've already had 9/11 to lay at the feet previous leaders including President Clinton, his Democratic comrades and the Republican congress, everything after 9/11 belongs to President Bush and this Republican Congress.
What about each state protecting its own border? Build a wall if they want, have state National Guard troops to patrol, electric fences, anything their minds can think of to stop the flow of ILLEGAL immigrants.
Could just about guarantee that the citizens & representatives of each border state would get it done a lot sooner than Congress.
Do the states not have any powers to protect their borders?
