Dad and I were talking earlier today and he brought up a point that I didnt know what to say...He said America should build a 10 foot high wall on the border and line it with snipers to keep the Mexicans from crossing the border. What are your views on this, personally I had a problem with the snipers but I think the wall is a pretty good idea.

We could call it the Great Wall of America.
I am not against immigration but illegal immigration must be stopped. This applies to everyone who is not a citizen of the United States but wants to take advantage of our government.

Yeah sure we can be another Berlin right?(Sarcasm) If your going to build it then build it on the North side too. I just saw a report on the news about anyone being able to cross the Canadian Border, including terrorists.
I don't condone building a wall. You guys are talking about snipers and mines? Really? Wow! That is really sad that you would treat other human beings like this! You are no better than the ones you criticize. I hope you don't live in my city!

Walls and snipers are very expensive. Snipers can be bribed, have attacks of conscience, or fall asleep on the job.
Land mines, OTOH, don't care who they blow up, or when, they can stay 'on the job' for decades, and they're cheap.

A wall, snipers, AND rabid dogs.

That would work, maybe temporarily.
Smilin' Bob, what's your logic? The bums of Mexico are better; and therefore, if we have room for our less quality bums, we must make room for more? You used the word "bum," you could have said "homeless." Stupid logic.
Maybe we would be better able to help our "homeless," if our resources were'nt being diverted to meet the needs of MILLIONS of illegals and the jobs they take from us. They pick apples, etc. Who wants to pay for a $5 apple if the illegals were'nt here? The people who want an apple that bad. I don't eat apples. If I wanted one and it cost $5 to keep the flood of MILLIONS of illegals out, I would pay it. There are more Hispanics in this country than there are blacks. The blacks have been a significant portion of the US's population since the beginning. It is only because of a tidal wave of illegals coming to this country, that blacks have been surpassed in this regard. Whites would be a minority too, if there wasn't a flood of white people from Europe a hundred years ago. What has taken hundreds of years to establish in this country illegals are plowing down by their vast numbers.

Frankly I believe in continuing The Great White American Tradition, which is make money off them.
Since our leaders are so bent on legalizing them, why fight it? go with the flow. Start building credit cards for them that punish them with high interest rates. Offer them low affordable housing with high cost hidden fees. In short take major advantage of them.
In short, treat them like the current, white, American middle class.

I think snipers are a bit overboard, but we're already building a highway from Mexico to Canada. Our government isn't trying to keep anyone out. They say one thing and do another. This highway will allow SO many more ILLEGAL immigrants to come in, it's ridiculous. What we need to do, is pressure the government into enforcing the laws we have. If they did that...we would have no need for a wall.

Building the 10 foot high wall is not gonna solve a thing. Eventually, they will find other ways to cross the border. Beside, it gonna cost a fortune to build this wall. I prefer to see our tax money to be spend on something much important.
Nowadays, USA still a land of opportunities, that is why they are willing to risk their life to cross the border. We should begin to worry when they stop crossing the border.
