[...] I know border security hucksterism when I see it — whether it’s from Democrats or Republicans. Longtime readers will remember that when pro-shamnesty President Bush and the GOP backed a Secure Fence Act in 2007, I called it what it was: The Fence in Name Only. Sadly, the call was all too right. [...]

Guys,

Lighten up!!! I have to live next to it. I may not like it but its here. Besides, living in the vicinity gives a different perspective.

But since I am ignorant and you do not understand comedy, I will use the //sarc off comment next time.

Sheesh!! I thought for a minute I was on the Democratic Underground website.

Exactly.
I see that your comment flew over the head of someone else though.

If it cost $3.9 mill/mile to fence 601 miles, just think what it would cost to fund a program to fence the rest of the border. Fencing canyons and reservoirs would be even more expensive. The parts they’ve fenced were the easy parts.

So. Moving forward, there are 69 more miles to be built, and then the 670 mile goal will have been met. The border is 2000 miles long. If you want the whole thing to be fenced, you’ll have to ask Barry, Harry, and Nancy for the money.

The Border Patrol is desperately trying to fill it’s staff. They’ve expanded greatly, but they have trouble getting and keeping employees.

If you really want to help, why don’t you apply for a job with them? They’ve built several huge new stations along the border, but they don’t have the people they need.

Thanks for sharing your ignorance about the program.

Perhaps a little research on the subject might help.

Start with Posts 31 and 33.

Those posts will provide to you background on the concept and employment–how it works.

I hate to ask the obvious, but oh….

Why don’t we use material on hand in the region to build something like a cithidel wall? Worked for the Chinese, a hell of alot cheaper too. But nope we have to pay $200 bucks for a hammer, $600 for a pole its the American way!

Looks like R.I.N.O. Fencing Inc just went out of business.

O.B.A.M.A. Fencing is the new Non-Profit business… Open Borders Accepting Millions for Amnesty.

What we need to do is build a few trebuchets (tre-boo-cheys) and use them to hurl illegal aliens back to where they came from!

Can’t we just land mine the damn area and erect a few thousand warning signs.
