Why dont we build some thing like the Great Wall of China on the Texas border?

It would make a good landmark and a good way to stop border jumpers.

Answer:
We don't need to build a wall. We don't even need to build a fence..

The problem could be solved in a matter of days.. imprison and impose HEAVY fines on EVERY person who hires criminal immigrants.

Deny citizenship to any person born to people here illegally.

The motivation for them to come here would be gone.. and so they wouldn't.
It would be unbelievably expensive. We don't have access to slave labor or the ability to take 300 years like the Chinese did.
Yes. Yes we should. I wouldn't mind forking up some extra tax dollar for that...
because American doesnt have slaves to build such a monument..
we should but it will not happen any time soon too many people do not feel strongly enough to it to come to that. In time if this problem does not show any siggns of stopping we might have to.
1. cost
2. it would be more effective to just put in landmines ( sorry my own sick joke)
3. cost
4. Do you know how many people died building the great wall, I know i do not want my skeleton inside of it.
5. As a nation, we have no will to plug our borders up.
Mine fields are cheaper, more effective, it's the American way, "Cheaper, Faster, easier", "New and Improved" It's so "US"
Dude thats fudged up, but why, our economy will suck if they weren't here, and are they at your house messing with you, no so leave it alone
You really should :DDD And use illegal labour to do that :D
Cause if we did that , then where will all the Spanish people come from to give votes to all those texas neocons?
Build a 40 foot wall and a 41 foot ladder defeats the wall. How about US employers quit hiring illegals instead. Much cheaper and less draconian.
It wouldn't make a good landmark because there is already a Great Wall and second who wants to go into the middle of the desert or a border town and see a wall. Second it would not stop them because there is just to much to gain by coming here. Besides they could just go around over or under the wall unless you manned it.
Yeah we should. Who cares how much it is going to cost us? How much is it costing us already to not have the wall up? We can just have the mexicans be the ones that build the wall in exchange for citizenship. It would be free and we wouldn't have to pay them to live in our country illegally.
ELECTRIC FENCE BABY!!!!
I agree with Kenny J
Trust me, even with a great wall, they would still find a way to get over here
wouldnt do very much good...they would find other ways around it...when i lived in el paso you would see reports where immigration would catch illegals croosing in the sewers underground...plus it would take a long time
Ask the <Soviets> about how they helped <East> Germany build a wall in <East> Berlin.
Border jumpers ,are they living in your house,eating your food ,banging your Wife/girlfriend ?
how many times you go to a Mexican restaurant ?
they work cheap and pay taxes ,they work on the farms for your vegetables,and fruit's ,they clean the motels you stay ,they build they roads you drive .
many are having babies at home scared to be deported ,and did you know the child is an American citizen .
Unless you are American Indian ,you don't belong also .
And they not taking your jobs ,unless you want to be a farmer,housekeeping ,janitor,or Gardner.
get real .
It currently requires an immense work force to monitor the United States/Mexico Border at an enormous cost to tax payers. What is the purpose of spending an astronomical figure to build penetratable structures that provide no more security than the existing default program.
Who would biuld it?? And if it was ever biult....... those mexicans are a crafty bunch
We should, but our government is in so much debt because of the Iraqi war. We could not afford infustructure like that. Write to Bush about cutting the cost of the Iraqi war and to make the government more efficient it is extremely possible.
What! To keep Texans out?
Actually you could have rounded up illegals build it.
Then when they are done, you could give them a bottle of water and a sandwhich and up we go to the tube slide that deposits them back across the border ;P
Hell yes! Hire the little guys to build it put them on the Mexico side, throw them burritos, and cash until its to high for them to go over and to tired to crawl under.
Who would build it?The illegal Mexicans?
remenber that immigrants not only enter the US by the Texas border but also by the coasts are you willing to pay some extra taxes to build a wall all around the US.
Do you know haw much that would cost.

DO YOUR MATH IF YOU CAN
ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY FOR THAT
Sounds good to me. Would be well worth the man hours and expense. Probably could find a lot of volunteers willing to do the work.
We really should, yes it would work very well. If you don't think so, go to China, step one foot over that wall, and see what happens to you.
Besides math you need to take histoty classes. Tell mr. china wall, do you know any walls that have actually worked? OMG! im amazed how ignorant people have become.
