How high a wall can we build and how many contractors are available to get statred?? Thats what I wanna know - after that & WE are in control WE can determine who gets in or not.

I don't care if we close down the borders or not, both will cause problems. The best thing I can think of is too build the wall then allow more immigrants in each year.

I am pro-amnesty, deportation can only cause more problems and it is a bottomless pit situation where it will end up like a "war or terror" or a "war on drugs". Ignoring the illegals won't help either.

Plenty of bosses available, to drive around in air-conditioned pick-ups, but no workers ...for this project.

[yesman065]

I'm sure there are plenty of workers available to do this. Oh wait maybe the unemployment rate is only 4.5% and thats why - hmmm

Not unless you import them from non-border states.

[TheMercenary]

Plenty of national guard and reserve units to do the work. Pull them out of Iraq and let them work at home. Close the frigging borders now. Then talk about reforming policy. Nothing can or should be done till the tide of illegals is halted.

I agree - see post #667

Ay. I hate that kind of terminology when it's applied to people. 'tide', 'flood', 'swamped by'.

'tide of illegals'. Nothing in that phrase indicates that it refers, in any way, to the movement of human beings.

[TheMercenary]

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
Many do it legally, many do not;
Hence our need to stem the flood.

[DanaC]

They are not a flood. They do not drown you.

Not all people drown in a flood, but they can be consumed and surrounded by water.

I can respect that opinion, but we really do need to get this under our control. They are our borders and we should be in a position to control it. Too many drugs and terrorists can come here through there unchecked. There is a stor going on about two border agents who shot an illegal in the ass while he was bringing 750lbs of narcotics over. They were sentenced to 12 years. Wait, isn't that what they are supposed to be doing??? Oh and the "illegal" who was given immunity to testify agianst them was recently caught transporting more drugs into the U.S.

[TheMercenary]

Well they did shoot him in the backside as he was trying to get back across the border. But I think they should be allowed to do that if you are transporting drugs into the US.
