What do you think about the fence on the border of Mexico and America?
Answer:
It´s stupid.... no fence will keep the illegal immigrants away...
They are just doing it for the elections.... I agree with you...
US do not have the obligation to help with money those nations, but if they actually want to stop illegal immigration .... it´s the only way...
If the people of those countries have a good job, but a good $$ job.... they will not leave their country, people and traditions for the discrimination and abuse that they receive in the US.
They should line the border land mines, spikes, a moat filled with alligators and piranhas and the freedom to shoot people running across!
No, really though, a fence would be a good idea, as long as we have the people to still stand guard and not let them through.
yeah hire mexicans to build it right?
I agree with it.
I am sick of illegal immigrants. And not just the mexican ones. All of them.
I'm not racist. My entire family is diverse. My newest relative is Nigerian.
But.. he is LEGAL to be here.
Illegal is illegal is illegal. If they are illegal they needn't be here because they are breaking the law ever second they are living in my country. If they get legalized, then I welcome them here with open arms.
i think we should shoot people who hire illegals or consume products or services produced by illegals!!!!!
A fence won't help , without more surveillance , Guards and more commitment from the Government that they really want to close the borders . Only then will the illegal crossing's stop .
Support Operation Wet-back from the " 50's ".
Illegals go home , your not wanted here !!!!!!!!!
Securing the border is not about race. Without control of the borders the nation ceases to be a nation. America has given billions of dollars to poor countries with limited results. Aid can only be effective after the receiving country establishes a rule of law, with a Representative form of government and a free market economy, anything else only ensures the misery of it's masses. As to the fence build it long, build it strong, build it tall and above all use land mines between the layer of it. When we finish the southern barrier get to work on the north
Build it and they won't come.
It IS stupid to put up a fence.
Put down landmines. Much more effective.
Dear, please read a book!
The cost of benefits to illegal aliens by the American taxpayer is astronomical.
It has NOTHING to do with 'color', and everything to do with fairness (to the millions waiting patiently to enter the country LEGALLY) and economics (why should US taxpayers support foreign nationals who do not even have the coutesy to enter the country the proper way?)
Wall? Fence? Snarling dogs? Machine gun turrets...whatever works, I'm for.
(that is firmly tongue-in-cheek - actually a well administered guest worker program is fine with me, but step ONE is to STOP THE ILLEGAL FLOW RIGHT NOW!)
I think ALL illegal aliens should be deported...along with the TRAITORS that support them.
The issue isn't color here...We have at last estimates 30 million people here illegally..That is a major problem when 1/10th of our population is here illegally.
How can we secure our nation or our culture or provide jobs to all of these people? Immigration needs to be enforced ..
When you have more people coming in then we can handle it causes huge economical and social problems.
I agree we have a lot of people abusing welfare and it needs to be stopped.
I see myself as an American as well.. but if our country is going to last, we have to build that fence and do something about these illegals.
We can't just let every poor person in the world come here.
Clearly reality TV is the answer.
We need to set up an obstacle course and televise it. People who want to come to America need to traverse the course within 2 minutes. If they can, they get full citizenship. If not, they get deported.
I think the ratings would be great. Also I am not saying this should be for people crossing the Mexican border, but for the Canadians too.
Yes. These illegal immigrants are disrespecting our laws by coming here illegally and not getting citizenship. We need to build an advance fence, not just physically but digitally with computers and censors so these illegals can go do it the legal way. Think about it folks, if we keep letting these ilegals come in, in a decade or so we will be the minority.
I think it has nothing to do with something as pathetic as the color argument. I think it has everything to do with those who cross not following the rules. Here's another way to think about it:
Two large families in a neighborhood live side by side. One of the families has a swimming pool, cable/satelite service, internet, hot tub, game room and all of the fancy trimmings, while the other family's set up is a bit basic. The kids from the basic house are constantly over, even when uninvited. How do you keep it under control? You set up rules to say when the conditions are right for company. And those who break the rules are sent home. In the meantime, a fence is built to control how and where the neighbors come to visit. That's what this situation is all about, in a nutshell.
A few Mexicans, and some others who are using their border with us, are violating the rules. I know it isn't just Mexicans, and I applaud the Mexican people for their diligence at stopping transients from using their border to cause domestic problems between us and them. Ya just gotta do it right. That's all.
I am with you ... although we are very much in the minority.
People who don't read, and listen to the hype will think it's a great idea because they can feel elitist.
I, personally, don't lose a dime if people who really want to WORK come across the line. On the other hand, if you want to pay ten dollars a head for lettuce ... block the border entirely.
How short sighted.
More terrorists come in from the north than the south. Fact of life: very easy to get from Middle East or Asia to Canada. That border is not well guarded at all. That causes me much greater concern.
It is a waste of money. Most of the construction jobs in that part of the country are held by illegal aliens. So the work will end up being hired out to contactors who hire illegals anyway. There have been elaborate tunnels built so a wall is ineffective. Even the Great Wall of China did not accomplish what it was built for.
Our people are our responsibility. Mexico's people are Mexico's responsibility. Our people are who the services are for, not theirs. The sheer number of poor illegal immigrants are ruining our schools and draining our services, as well as driving down the prevailing wage in impacted industries, so more of our own fall into poverty and need those services themselves.
I think the fence is only one part of the solution, but definitely a necessary part.
Color has nothing to do with it.
I would rather see the gov waste money on this fence than spend it helping mexicans and other poor countries as you suggest.
It isn't about the color of their skin, it is the fact they have broken the law and are here illegally. The fact that our hospitals are going bankrupt, the fact that the schools in my state are filled with English learners. They are sucking us dry.
We already sent billions of our tax dollars to these countries. It hasn't helped.
You obviously do not live on a border state. Come live in my city for a week and then think about your question.
I think we should build a great wall of the United States of America and arm it with our military.
The wall is not stupid because it WILL work. Illegal alien criminal crossing are down in San Diego because there is a fence. The reason that Mexico is so upset about is because it will help keep them out. It will make their job harder to get their citizens into the US.
show me a 20 ft. fence and i'll show you a 21 ft. ladder.
this idea is ridiculous.
the money would be better spent on more border patrol agents and more technology for the bp.
or you could use that money and reform our immigration policies.
I think its a joke, a bad joke. Its not going to keep people out, and it serves only to insult other countries.
TO ALL OF THOSE AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: WHO HATE THEM, WHO DON'T WANT THEM TO BE HERE, WHO BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE DEPORTED, AND WHO THOSE WHO ARE DISGUSTED FROM THEM. STOP EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING!!!!STOP EATING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES...WAIT STOP EATING EVERYTHING...TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES WHAT COUNTRY WAS IT MADE IN? MEXICO?PANAMA?PAKISTAN? OR AMERICA SOMEWHERE WHERE THEY ARE HIRING ILLEGALS TO MAKE THAT BRAND THAT YOU ARE WEARING....DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH ILLEGALS STOP GOING TO MCDONALDS, BURGER KING, WENDYS, ARBYS, AND JACK N THE BOX..WAIT ALSO STOP EATING AT FRIDAYS, RED LOBSTER, APPLEBEES, PIZZA SHOP........OH YOU GET VALET? DON'T GIVE YOUR KEY TO THAT MEXICAN 99% CHANCE THAT HE IS ILLEGAL OR CAME ILLEGAL......THAT IS NOT ALL STOP GOING TO THE MALL!!!MACYS, SHARPER IMAGE, SEARS I AM POSITIVE THAT THERE IS AN ILLEGAL WORKING THERE............................
The fence does do help vs drug runners driving vans and trucks full of drugs across the border.
Its effectiveness against illegal immigrations will be some but its definitely not going to accomplish all that much.
There seems to be an important part of your debate missing-
Illegal doesn't describe a color it describes your immigration status.
If you entered this country without a visa, you are an illegal alien. Most of our illegal aliens come from Mexico and they cross the border into America without stopping to say hello to immigration officials.
What that really means, is we have no idea what is coming into our country. We don't know their names, vaccination history, criminal history- we know nada about these tress-passers.
Color isn't the issue, Einstein /national security is
Build the fence arm it well
Deport all illegals and their anchor babies upon detection
EDIT: Why don't the Mexicans help themselves while in Mexico- so they're not breaking the law and risking their lives to get here?
A fence won't help! Let's face it though! illegal immigration is good for business. Cheap labor is always good for business.
I don't think a fence will be as effective as a landmine field, which I have always strongly supported.
As far as your selfish comment, you are one of the Americans that is not being directly affected by the millions crossing our borders.
I have to pay thousands of dollars a year, for 20 years now to correct the damage of illegals crossing the border onto my private property. The illegal aliens are the selfish ones, they are invading our country in a mass invasion to destroy it and turn it into Mexico.
They do not care about Americans, and the effects that their invasion is having on this country. Do you have the deep pockets to raise and educate their children, feed, house, and provide medical care for them while they send their money back to Mexico? We are giving Mexico billions of dollars, Mexico's second source of income is from the illegals aliens in our country.
Do you realize that illegal aliens are making the high school diploma obsolete, and that poor American families must now find out a way to get a college or trade school education, so that they can support themselves, because all non-skilled jobs, are being given to illegals and their anchor children?
Do you accept their identity theft, medical insurance fraud, auto thefts, and skyrocketing drunk driving and hit and run deaths of Americans? Did you know that illegal aliens have killed more Americans than the Iraq War? Do you think allowing illegal alien gang members to settle in America is good for the safety of our country?
I am fed up, and there needs to be something done about it, I am sure that if you had to protect your backyard from drug smugglers with guns, discover abandoned illegal alien corpses, and pay thousands out of pocket each year to fight it you would change your tune real quick. Fortunately, many Americans are waking up to the problem, seeing it as a threat to this country, and are making efforts to stop it.
Go ahead and build it we are still taking over.
