Easy peazy rough and sleazy. Just put every illegal caught to work on the wall until done.

No quick return to Meheeko. They work for room and board until the project is done. That includes every man, woman, and child over 17.

Wanna bet in just a few months there will hardly be any need for the wall?

It should still get built though.

Fund the wall with a lottery for machine gunner positions. I alone will buy 10 tickets.

This is pure bogus bilge. All it takes is want to.

Fences work when you want them to:

Israel did it. And this link includes a list of all similar border fences:

Saudi did it.

This is the fence with Yemen:

India did it. You can even see their fence from space:

You can see it at night from space. It is ALL lit with orange lights:

Hungary is doing it.

It isn’t hard and it won’t break the bank.

Wouldn't it come under "Infrastructure?" "Shovel ready jobs?" "Investing in the American worker?"

Mention some kind of spending that might actually make America stronger, and left-wingers become penny pinchin misers.

Something has to happen. Back in the dinosaur days when I was in school population control was all the rage and the meme was to have less children so we could preserve our natural resources for our grandchildren’s grandchildren to enjoy. So much for that dream and all those billions spent.

With a population of some 30% hispanic, what California has taught us about illegals of today is they are less educated, that increasing numbers compete for a decreasing number of low-skilled jobs, which drives down wages for natives, and that the number of jobs in housekeeping/roofing/landscaping, etc. tend to decrease with the retirement of each native high-wage earner who can afford such services. Hispanics consume more in social services and natural resources than natives, their taxes paid don’t come anywhere near the real cost, and today’s hispanics are less inclined to assimilate; ‘culturally sensitive’ services add to the cost. Because hispanics tend to have more children, and the children are also culturally less inclined to higher education, the population is dumbed down as a whole, translating to an inefficient work force. The impact of those unskilled parents retiring in 30 or 40 years has yet to be imagined, as is the cost of maintaining their children from birth to death. Certainly the cost of maintaining 80 million indigent immigrants over the next 30 years is less than building a fence and enforcing our immigration laws.

80 million number comes from the State Department press release of May 24, 2012:
http://fpc.state.gov/190931.htm

Rakesh Kochhar, Associate Director for Research at the Pew Hispanic Center; speaking: “...In 2005, the U.S. was home to 296 million people. And projecting from that, under different immigration scenarios, we believe that the U.S. population in the year 2050 is likely to be 438 million. So from 2005 to 2050, that’s an increase of about 140 million.

“What happens if, in this time, the U.S. had shut its borders to immigration? So this is a hypothetical scenario, but if you literally have the perfect seal applied to the borders, what would happen to the U.S. population? And that’s the next slide. Instead of growing to 438 million, under the zero immigration scenario, the U.S. population goes from 296 million to only 321 million, which is an increase 25 million, not 140 million.

“So does this mean the additional 115 million is all immigration? No. It is immigration and their children and their grandchildren and so on. But it’s in some way linked to immigration, almost all of the growth in the U.S. population between now and 2050. Within this, the Hispanic population – in the next slide over – increases from 42 million in 2005 to 128 million in the year 2050, which is an increase of 80 million. So 80 million out of 140 million people added to the population by 2050 will be Hispanic.”

After spending trillion$ on Porkulus, Obamacare, welfare benefits and other destructive examples of waste, suddenly these people are deficit hawks when it comes to securing the border.

I don’t care if the wall cost a TRILLION dollars if that is the price to save America. As Reagan said, “A country that cannot control its borders is no longer a country.”
