Border Fence Bill Passed?

Question

Mexican President Vincente Fox declared the bill passed to erect a fence along the U.S./Mexico border shamefulf, and compared it to the Berlin wall that separated Germany in halves until the late 1990's.
Does President Fox not realize that the United States and Mexico are not, say, North United States and South United States? Personally, without the people to man the border, unless the fence goes 20 ft underground and is electrified, it won't do any thing but give illegal immigrants one more thing to climb. Below is a small portion of the Article from the U.P.

What real affect on illegal immigration will the fence have in your opinion?

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Congress has ordered construction of 700 miles of fence along the U.S.-Mexican border in a move Mexico says will hurt relations between the two countries.

The Senate voted 80-19, with 26 Democrats joining 54 Republicans in support.......

Answer 1

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!

The entitlement systemhas gone so far amuck that mexicans think they are entitled to America, american jobs, american health care, american schools, etc.

700 miles of fence is a start but we need to come up with another 1600 miles of fence along Mexicos border and 2800 miles of fence along the Canadian border, along with the troops to defend it.

Then we need to enfore our existing immigration laws. If you are here illegally you are a criminal, PERIOD. If you are a criminal you are not welcome here, PERIOD.

Then we need to open our borders to anyone who will CONTRIBUTE to our society, learn the ENGLISH language and agree that for the first 10 years you are in this country you will remain employed and take NO ENTITLEMENTS!

BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE A FULL AMERICAN.

You don't see me going down to Mexico and trying to get free healthcare and school for my kids. And don'y but this crap about who will clean the toilets and who will pick the fruit if we don't allow the mexicans to do it. Take away welfare from the lazy blacks, whites and hispanics that are here and then the farms will have plenty of workers and the office buildings will have clean toilets.

Answer 2

It is in Mexico's self interest to not have a fence built.If it works as a deterrent to the illegals then where will Mexico encourage its poor to invade next? They have no where within walking distance to go but the US.
The best deterrent along with the wall is to actually secure the border,to put the bite back into the Border Patrol to stop the so called Justice Department from tying the hands of the BP .Let them do their jobs,support them in their efforts to keep America safe.
Mexico profits greatly by the money that illegals send back to Mexico every year,something like $ 24 billion dollars is wired back to Mexico ,to infuse the economy their. While here in the USA we are burdened with over crowded schools,hospital ERs, prisons and the pilfering of our public entitlements by illegal immigrants.
While the fence will be mostly a symbol of resistance it is action and action is what 85% or more legal Americans demand at this point in time.That and the total ,zero tolerance, enforcement of excising laws against company's and individuals that hire the illegals.Stop the dangling carrot of employment and you stop the illegal.

Mexico's a sad, sad state of affairs. Basically, they suck in ways we're still trying to learn how to describe, some of them are truly baffling. But, with 30 years to think about it, and some careful 'help', they, too, will learn how to build something called a 'school', and maybe 'roads'.

The fence is only one part of it, the other is having employer enforcement to reinforce the idea that illegal immigration to the US is a 'bad idea'.

We live in an increasingly crowded world. People need to try and create commerce opportunities and jobs(legal ones) right where they're at. That's not easy, but it is a worthy goal. Stopping illegal immigration will stop a lot of human trafficking, help stem illegal drugs, and promote real commerce. More farming in Mexico=more jobs in Mexico=more money in Mexico=less poor people in Mexico, as one example. 'Heche en Mexico' is already found on many things, the more products they can produce, the more revenue they'll realize from it, the stronger their economy will be, and the less problems they'll have.

Answer 4

I am glad to see the fence . I like Mexicans but too much of a good thing sucks.I have made many friends over the years in the construction industry.But the numbers that are streaming in are large enough to change political elections (eventually).Bankrupt businesses.Put a strain on health care and law enforcement. I would like the Illegals out and a control ed work visa program in place.Criminals from Mexico run here and continue their crimes. They aren't vaccinated properly leaving us open to disease.They smuggle drugs in.Its almost too late the way our laws allow Anchor babies to keep them here. Two Illegals shouldn't make a US citizen.

Answer 5

Our August Congress has performed it once more!! Ingnored the entire conceivable answers and followed a attempted and failed movement. There has been a fence within the Tijuana and El Paso locations for years. The Mexicans quite love the ones fences, they make pleasant auto grills. Besides, with the entire warmness Haliburton is taking over its Iraq thievery they want a difference of surroundings.

Answer 6

Uh, thats kind of funny because he is saying the Mexican poeple should be able to come here whenever they want, but we cant go over there whenever we want without documentation (i.e as of January 2007 a passport), so isnt that a double standard?

Answer 7

We pay for his poor and they take social services so they can still send money to Mexico on poverty level wages. He doesn't want our problem solved.

How he can argue WE are the ones who are bad neighbors is baffling, though. It is like someone whose family repeatedly rides their motercycle through your flowerbeds calling you a bad neighbor when you put up a fence.

If we didn't need it, we wouldn't do it.

Answer 8

Mexico is profiting from this invasion, with future agenda in mind. Even their gov. sees our compassion and political correctness as our biggest weakness. They play on our ethics for America into their favor against us. We must look foolish to them for them to make ridiculous statements like this. Fox can kiss my American butt!

Answer 9

It's not a Fence,Fence,it's a invisible fence,camera,sensors,and the lot,do they really think that will kept the tunnel rats out,no,what they are claiming it will cost,they better times it by ten.

Answer 10

the "elected class" have passed the bill for a fence but HAVE NOT appropriated the money.....
