do you think they should build something on the border to stop illegal mexicans getting into America?

Question

what do you think. Yes or No. Well i want to hear what you think. The person that can give me the most and best reasons will get best answer.

No rashal comments please

Answer 1

Yes, provided it was also protected by border patrol agents. We should also try not jailing the border patrol officers for doing their job...
Reasons: Illegal immigration hurts America. American business' use those people as slave labor so they can stuff more cash into their pockets. This is the kind of corruption that needs to stop if the working class doesn't want to end up slaves as well.
Those illegal immigrants are very costly to the American taxpayer. People say the cost of the wall/fence would not be worth it... but it would be. After taxes paid by illegals, they still cost over 10 billion dollars per year. It would pay for itself in less than 2 years. Our hospitals and schools are suffering.... along with all of the American citizens.
Disease. All immigrants are given a physical... just incase. If they come illegally, they skip that process and potentially carry and spread dangerous disease.
Identity theft. This is a growing problem in America. People say crossing the border unlawfully is such a small crime it doesn't need to be punished... While this isn't a major crime it snowballs into major crimes as they steal identities to survive here.
Crime rates. They go higher as the illegal population rises.
Environment and population. For each new person here, that's one more car on the road, more bags of trash in our landfills. We're already hurting, adding to it does not help.
Uninsured and unlicensed drivers. Without an identity, there is no getting a drivers license... no drivers license, no insurance. This causes higher insurance for legal drivers.
Lack of speaking English causes social ineptness. This holds up lines in stores, costs taxpayers as the government tries to provide forms in spanish, and just in general is a problem....
The list goes on and on.....

Answer 2

They don't need to build anything,we have the means already in place,the national guard,the border patrol,the coast guard ect.and treat the illegals as they would be treated if they were invading any other country other than the US. Give the enforcement people the latitude to use to use deadly force if necessary, Post signs in spanish that states,If ye pass this area thou shall be shot.

Answer 3

They can't. Bush's plan to build the fence has gone nowhere without funding. The whole idea of closing off the Southern borders is ludicrous anyway.

It'll just alienate people and make it more of a costly burden for taxpayers.

Answer 4

Rashal....LMAGDAO I am gonna use that in memory of picking on you for now on. But I dont know if you keep up with the news, but there was a plan and budget for a border wall, however they only came up with 7 of a 11 billion dollars for it, so they decided to scrap the whole plan. Buncha bs.

Against ILLEGAL Immigration...

DeMint Statement on Immigration Deal

May 17th, 2007 - Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator DeMint made the following statement:

“I hope we don't take a thousand page bill written in secret and try to ram it through the Senate in a few days. This is a very important issue for America and we need time to debate it.”

“But the little we do know about the bill is troubling. According to reports, the bill contains a new 'Z Visa' that allows those who entered our country illegally to stay here permanently without ever returning home. This rewards people who broke the law with permanent legal status, and puts them ahead of millions of law-abiding immigrants waiting to come to America. I don't care how you try to spin it, this is amnesty.”

Answer 6

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !

Answer 7

Rashal? what is that? why waste money on building something... they still get here no matter what.. i was in el paso yesterday and saw all kinds of mexican residents on the US side shopping.. so im sure if they wanted to come farther into US it would be easy....

Answer 8

Yes, they should build a fence. They should also remove the carrot within the country. IF they remove the incentives, half of our problem will be solved by that alone.

Answer 9

my answer has always been a 1/2 mile wide land mine zone from Tijuana to Brownsville Tx. No more illegals sneaking in!!!!!
