Do like the Israelis do and just build the fence inside of Mexico. They owe us for all the billions illegal aliens have sent back to Mexico anyway. If Bush and the neocons are keen on using aggression, at least use it for the benefit of our country.

The DeMint Complete the Fence Act will require DHS to complete the 700 miles fence by December 31, 2010, using only reinforced pedestrian fencing, not vehicle barriers or “virtual” fencing. Since when does Congress have to issue a we really mean it statement/legislation to Mr. Lettuce Head and if the Complete the Act does not pass then is the Duncan Hunter legislation nullified. Is not insanity defined as repeating the same act and expecting different results. Would it not be more effective for Congress to call for Mr. Lettuce Head to resign or better, for his boss to resign.

We’re all preaching to the choir. Do whatever it takes, but build the danged fence. That said, I want to see the employers of illegals go to jail. I don’t care if it’s an airport hiring sub-contractors, hotels/motels, construction companies, or the housewife foolish enough to hire a nanny (& turning over her most precious possession to their care) without the ability to check actual references or valid criminal records. No fine on first offences for these employers – jail. Too many of those same employers (Tyson comes to mind) are prolonging the use of aliens in the workforce and hoping for the amnesty. There should be no going about your merry way showing outstanding profits, while taxpayers foot the real bill for your profit.

I certainly hate to see a deep recession, but one appears to be on the horizon. Will any of the candidates running for POTUS be foolish enough to consider amnesty with a large workforce out of a job? Will any candidate consider extending welfare or some kind of benefits to those here illegally? It would be far cheaper for taxpayers to foot a one-way ticket home.

Interesting times are ahead I’m afraid folks.

A renowned Pharmacy Professor at Campbell University in NC was killed by an illegal driving while impaired and of course…..no license.

I tried to post about it on WRAL website in Raleigh and they will not allow my opinion.

Please write/ban WRAL tv in Raleigh!
Thank you.

Do like I have done here in Mississippi, go to large construction areas, usually shopping centers and walk around and take pictures. Go there and take pictures, while also jotting notes in a little black book. Nice touch is to give yourself that casual business/cop civilian attire, shirt tie and light jacket.

We have to begin this fight before it is too late. Our elected officials are not going to do JACK!

This can be applied to anywhere illegals are suspected to be the primary slave labor for the greedy contractor, factory, meat/chicken processing plant, landscaper,..etc

I remember seeing where the “border fence” isn’t being built on the boarder, but at some distance from the boarder where it is easier to build. If I owned land on the border and the government was going to take a lot of it that is not on the border, I would be angry and fight it too.

If the fence is on the actual boarder, no argument.

Communities along the Rio Grande in South Texas have fought hardest. They fear being cut off from the river and agricultural lands and bristle at the imposition of a plan hatched in Washington, D.C.

I think building the fence strictly along the Rio Grande just shows the lack of creativity by Home Land Security. If someone or something blocks construction, construct around the obstruction, it need not be constructed within inches of the border. So what if illegals can walk an extra mile before they can walk no more. If the construction variance requires building around bad lands, these bad lands would also act as a diterant to illegals and muchly reduct construction costs. If the avoidance might require an unreasonable variance then eminent public domain acquisition could be used. We once legislated and paid for 780 miles of Duncan Hunter caliber fence. Mr. Lettuce Head has Katrinaized this mission to the point of not being recognized. Will this same degenerate be in charge of building the DeMint Trojan. When DeMint said I think it is important for people to realize the urgent need for completing a security fence along the Mexican border, did he mean the 70% of America who have so believe such long before the Duncan Hunter was not built or did he mean the people who live on his home planet.

Is exactly right…this is a 3 pronged matter of concern which Jorge and his ilk never want to mention. 1. illegal immigration and the cost in $(338 billion a yr) and American societal values, along with the health concerns of previously all but eliminated diseases T.B. and leprosy. 2. the so called war on drugs, which I’m not buying the government is fighting whole heartedly, and at what cost to Americans people? 3. Terrorism, we already know there are Islamic terror cells within the states…do we need more?
I fail to see how Bush is upholding his oath of office by allowing all of the above. when the presidents 1st responsibility is to protect the American citizens from enemies within or outside the country.

We seem to be living in a time where our government has been so consumed by the lobbyists, they simply don’t care what the voters think.
It’s not just the border fence. If you ask most Americans privately, they will tell you it is not a good idea to send so many of our jobs to China and elsewhere. But nothing is done about this issue, either.
And at the state level, it isn’t much better. Taxpayers in my home state (PA) have been screaming for school property tax reform for as long as I can recall, but nothing concrete is ever done.

Our founding fathers are surely twirling in their tombs!

Most of the nearly 500 property owners in the fence’s path gave voluntary access to their land and as of Feb. 21, 303 miles of fencing had been built.

So let’s start by building the fence where the landowners allow it. This will help, and will “funnel” the rest of the illegals through the parts where the landowners refuse to allow the fence to be built. Maybe when the traffic through their land increases 50X, it will cause them to change their tune. If it doesn’t, build the damn fence anyway!

Great minds. Just blogged about this exact point concerning eminent domain use in New London - short post.
