House approves U.S.-Mexican border fence.?

Question

How do you feel about this?

This fence idea is utterly ridiculous.

The United States was stolen from the Native Americans, and I do not view an enormous fence as an intelligent way to assess this situation. I'm both frightened and sickened by the reactions most Americans are having to this wall (in favor reactions). I'm an American, and I'm telling you that this wall is a mistake.

Answer 1

It was the Afroamericans first, then the commies, then the terrorists, now the immigrants (Mexicans, to be sure).

When the Great Wall of America is finally built and all illegals are either deported or fenced off, who's going to be "the Enemy", namely, the newest Scape Goat???

Who's going to staff Wal Mart?? Who's going to tend your gardens??

Keep dreaming, that's what Americans do best. The Mother of all Walls will have more holes than a Swiss Cheese quite shortly!!!

Greetings from México!!!

Answer 2

I think a wall is nothing more than drawing a chalk line on the ground. It might slow them down by 5 or 10 minutes...but a wall will not stop the influx. And to all in favor...where do you think the money is going to come from and who is really profiting from this border wall??? Special interest groups. I think it is a waste of time as well as money!!! When is the Canadian wall going up? Get ready to foot the bill fellow Americans!!!! This wall idea is childish!!!! it doesn't even stretch the length of the border!!!!Ridiculous!

Answer 3

If your American born, been in the same neighborhood all your life and watched it turn into little or big mexico you wouldn't ask this question! Move to Houston and you might as well move to mexico. Better speak spanish , because mexicans have a large support base and don't want to buy,spend or trade with anyone that speaks English.or that is non-mexican!Don't wave a mexican flag for their broke *** country,because they want to rune ours. Secure the borders and deport law breakers, Asap.OUR SOVEREIGNTY DEPENDS ON IT! Crime,drugs & gang punks not included, those come extra at a large cost!

Answer 4

As soon as you said 'the land was stolen' any idea of 'intellegent' went right out of the window.

I think it is only a part of the solution, but I think it is necessary. It will help create bottlenecks and aid in capture. It will remain when funding for extra border patrol staff is quietly cut in the future to fund pet projects.

People who don't want the fence tend to be people who want illegals to be able to come at will. Like you.

Answer 5

The similarities are: a million. they are both extremely vertical platforms. 2. A boundary is formed the position one side is a land of more effective possibility and charity. the alterations comprise: a million. the U. S. and Mexico are 2 separate sovereign countries. 2. The Berlin Wall develop into outfitted to maintain away from the everlasting stream of everybody to freedom, even as the proposed fence is to change the stream of human beings to emmigrate on an orderly, lawful foundation. 3. East Berlin develop into part of communist state who dealt with human beings so badly that they wanted to leave completely. Mexico is an section the position human beings can go back and stay nicely on the really intense wages they get from the U. S.. without the fence, they could get their tuberculosis dealt with for loose by employing funds that you and that i paid in, to that end causing the cave in of all border hospitals. they could "launder" a baby by employing illegally crossing, and having the toddler the following so as that it turns right into a US citizen. Unregulated, they could also scouse borrow social protection numbers and get the social protection you and that i paid in so as that in the destiny no elderly can get the protection internet that develop into meant for them. they could get charge playing cards from many banks now, and under no circumstances pay their debts so that you get to pay those debts. they could get motive force's licenses in some places and reason your death or harm with none insurance so as that our insurance market collapses. The Berlin Wall develop into outfitted by employing the oppressor, and the fence is being outfitted by employing the oppressed. The fence is an attempt to save our u . s . a . from being destroyed.

Answer 6

LIne the fence with armed solders and maby some tanks to patrol the rest of border. Maby some mine fields and we might have a secure border someday

Answer 7

good and bad, good because many people would stop complaining about "illegals" and it would stop entry to many people. Bad, because theres always a way around things, the fence will work for a year or two, then ur gona find tunnels or holes under the fence

Answer 8

I think it shows that at least part of Congress is listening to the majority, it remains to be seen if the Senate will sign off on it or not. It also remains to be seen juuust how deep the pockets of the pro-illegal lobbyists are, and whether countries like Mexico have the effective power to set american domestic policy etc.
That's what we're at here, retaining american governance of all 50 states, I can only speak for myself but I'm not comfortable with having our country be lectured by others on how much financial and other support we're supposed to give them each year. US independence was meant to bring an end to that, bring us to the point where we didn't pay taxes to foreign royalty, and were not required to do the bidding of other nations anymore.
But, over the decades, our representation has proved fallible
and susceptible to such foreign influences, witness the national debt, (see 'paying taxes to foreign royalty' above), and the debacle with our borders being systematically violated and demands being made in our streets to award voting rights, which roughly amounts to accepting foreign governance, to citizens of foreign countries.

It's not america's fault that we've excelled financially by comparison with other nations in the world, nor is it our responsibility to prop up every hard-luck country that hits us up for 20 billion in whatever form.

Mexico needs to get their collective act together, building the US/Mexico border fence will provide a fine, fine opportunity for that to happen. Help is one thing, when your car comes up missing and there's a bullet hole in your front door and a broken tequila bottle on your lawn, that's something else.

Yes, it sucks to be Mexico. But the problem is not solved by transplanting half their population to our country. The only way for Mexico to un-suck is for them to start putting bricks atop each other, and themselves striving to achieve the modernity and facility(from 'facile', or 'easy' in french) that has been thus far accomplished in the United States.

Make mexican buildings out of mexican bricks made from mexican rock mined in mexico, by mexican citizens. Build schools, hospitals, churches, dens of ill-repute, whatever, but BUILD it. If they can build 5-star resorts, they can damn well build their own roads and other pieces of infrastructure they need.
And, it's not like they don't already get money from our country for that reason or something, so they don't even have to like pay for it. So, where's the beef? Where's the results? Where's the end of the welfare-like dependency? More to the point, where's the tax relief for millions of americans resulting from being unburdened by chronic dysfunction present in other countries?
I think Mexico should give us free oil for 10 years just for having been this tolerant for this long. Bluntly spoken, without the United States, Mexico wouldn't have an economy. So, what gives? Reform's not THAT hard, you just have to get started.

Answer 9

It's 1 sm. step forward. What would help the most is if there were enough I.N.S. & politicians would let them enforce the laws we already have on our books. Something must really be done before we're completely overrun. Everyone remember to do your homework & vote accordingly in November.

Answer 10

Its one small step for America and the American people.I feel good that they are finally doing something.We will see how soon it goes from talk and bill passing to the actuality of the fence being erected.
