Who thinks we need to start holding our?

Question

government ACCOUNTABLE,for all the tax dollars that have been WASTED over the years, that SHOULD HAVE been used to secure our borders???? We should have had a border fence YEARS ago!!! Back in 1986 when Reagan granted amnesty to the 1-3 million illegals,we were ALSO told that our borders would be secured!!! That's been TWENTY years ago!!! WHY has NOTHING been done,and NOW we have 11-30 MILLION to deal with??!!

nv girl you MISSED part of my point!!! I said that if REAGAN had done his JOB,we would not have so MANY illegals here today!!!!!

Answer 1

We need to get on with the fence and keep our Border Patrol on that line. We need our Minutemen and the National Guard and MORE. It might not STOP the flow of illegal immigration, but it'll sure slow it to a small tickle.


We COULD deport illegal immigrants. Dwight D. Eisehower did it and BUSH could do it the same way. Saying they can't is not true. We could do it by thousands a month until they were all sent back.

Answer 2

The borders should be monitored closely. But I hardly believe that will stop the flow of illegal immigrants. They will just get smarter and find other alternatives. And you can't get rid of homegrown terrorists that easily cause they already live in the U.S.
So should money really be wasted on fences? Will you be able to fence off the oceans? What good will it do to build fences when it would cost even millions more to monitor them 24/7 with a live person?
Or should all willing world governments start working on this immigration problem together? Should the world amalgamate to make living standards more even around the world to discourage their citizens from running over the border? In the end immigrants are good people and just like average Americans, or in my case, Canadians, there are and will always be some bad seeds among us. And we can't even control the criminals that already reside in our neighbourhoods. In other words, most serial killers are home-grown and fences can't do a thing to stop them.

Answer 3

Undocumented immigrants are forced to come to the U.S. by poverty, and taller fences and more border guards won’t stop them.

The bipartisan push--both during the years of Bill Clinton’s presidency, and today under George Bush--for more “border control” has only victimized undocumented immigrants by forcing them to seek increasingly remote and dangerous points to cross the border.

Under the Clinton administration’s “Operation Gatekeeper,” the Immigration and Naturalization Service (today called Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and the Border Patrol began a new strategy of border enforcement called “prevention through deterrence.”

In the past, the Border Patrol had concentrated on catching undocumented immigrants when they crossed the border. The idea now became to frighten them into not attempting to cross at all--by implementing a series of military-like “improvements” to border control, including increased numbers of guards, underground sensors, infrared night scopes and large sections of fortress-like walls with flood lighting.

But while “prevention through deterrence” succeeded in slowing border crossings in highly populated urban areas, it forced more and more migrants into taking larger risks in remote terrain.

According to a report in the Houston Chronicle, while the desert around Tucson, Ariz., is today crawling with 2,400 U.S. Border Patrol agents and an unknown number of rifle-bearing “Minutemen” vigilantes, rather than stopping the flow of undocumented immigrants, this has simply forced people to cross further out into the desert.

That includes places like Yuma, Ariz., where daytime temperatures routinely reach 120 degrees--and where migrants can walk as far as 50 miles before reaching an interstate, or sometimes find themselves trapped on the Barry M. Goldwater Bombing Range for the U.S. Air Force. Migrant deaths for the Yuma sector hit a record 51 in 2005, up from 36 in 2004 and 15 in 2003.

Since 1994, according to experts, Operation Gatekeeper has caused the deaths of approximately 4,000 people along the border. And the numbers are going up. For the last fiscal year, the Border Patrol reported 473 migrant deaths along the entire U.S.-Mexico border.

Answer 4

We need to do something and do it fast. Illegal aliens don't care who or what they harm or have destroyed they are only interested in their own self's. Every illegal here should be made pull a tour of duty over in Iraq or else be deported or in prisoned. Mexico is all grown up America bails them out over and over still the country cannot advance. It's time to crack down and show some serious intent and let Mexico fix it's own problems we got enough of our own.Wonder how many will sign up for the draft cause it looks like America in Iraq for the long haul.

Answer 5

Enlightenment: I have never seen a better case for censorship in my life, I really tip my hat off to you, I didn't think it could be done!!!

America is a soveriegn nation, and as such illegal immigration is not a human rights issue - the only human rights laws are in Europe! When King George IV convinces us to give up our soveriegnty, the contract of the constitution between our government and the people is null and void, and how long do you think we'll all behave ourselves - oh that's right, the government has the guns, military and law enforcement - if that's what's going to hold people together - WELCOME TO WITNESSING TYRANNY IN THE MODERN WORLD IN YOUR OWN LIFETIME!!!

Answer 6

I think the Reagan amnesty was the first step on the road to hell that we're on now, with all of this...the only way to nail down the problem is to nail the border SHUT. It's a big job, but it can be done.

Answer 7

If this has been SUCH an issue for you.....why haven't you VOTED correctly.....for the last 20.....or rallied the troops for a secure border.

Instead of pissing and moaning NOW.......you should have been a valiant force against the evil and destruction YOU are currently facing.

*by the way.....this is my pet peeve.....this has been going on for years and YOU ALL ignored it. NOW you want to shoot them all and blame them for everything from chicken pox to Aids, welfare, every hospital closing, children not learning their ABC's, OH and lest we forget...dirty frontyards and loud music......that is ridiculous and farfetched.*

If this is a problem NOW.......and you JUST admitted that it has been going on and YOU WERE AWARE it was.........why in the hell didn't you vote, march, secure, create a group.......UNTIL NOW. JESUS

Answer 8

I hope you're talking about the tax dollars wasted on bigger refunds to richer fat cats, or wasted on "Star Wars", or wasted on unnecessary wars where we don't belong. I, for one, would like to see them held accountable for all that.

As far as spending money on a wall/fence between us and Mexico, that money might be used to get their government to make Mexico a better place to live, so that they'll stay home in the first place.

Answer 9

Indeed they should! And I also think that since it seems perfectly OK for our administration that some of our laws are openly broken, we could ask them why we can't break the tax laws? What's so special about having one set of laws broken, but not another? Personally I would love to have a say in what my taxes are spent on ...and until I get a sensible answer ... withhold them ... anyone think I'd get away with that one??

Answer 10

Um sweetie... let me inform you that the illegals are illegal because they are undocumented. Well in answer to your question I don't think so and here is some advice little girl try whining to your parents or maybe writing to "your" government and telling them what has to be done because "you" said so. xoxoxo;)
