Would you support building a wall on the Mexican and Canadian borders and stationing troops there.?

Answer 1

First station troops, then build the wall. You can't put the cart before the horse. Why? Because Mexico does not want this wall. Why? Because they want as few dark-skinned, uneducated, poor people in their country as possible. The wall will eliminate a safety valve that has prevented revolution. Why? Because these persecuted people have had a glimmer of hope in the form of a relatively porous U.S. border.

Therefore, we can't realistically start building until we downsize in Iraq. Why? Because we will need at least 20,000 troops along the Mexican border. Why? Because the Mexican Army or its assigns (i.e moonlighting drug gangs) will blow up the wall faster than we can put it up.

So you ask "Wouldn't 20,000 troops and their equipment be expensive?" Yes, but not as expensive as the $125 billion annually illegal immigrants cost the U.S. taxpayers every year.

RE: The Canadian border -- It is not necessary to build a wall. Electronic monitoring and relatively few troops will suffice for the piddly amount that try to cross the Canadian border.

Answer 2

I don't like the fence but the National Guard and Air National Guard duties should include patrols along all US borders the same as the Coast Guard for the declared US water borders.

A road running along the border from San Diego to El Paso, like the one that runs along southern Canada, with many more boats patrolling Rio Grand would be much more effective than a fence or even a wall.

Answer 3

Yes on the Mexican border, no on the Canadian border. The Canadians are our brothers, while the Mexicans are our freeloading brothers-in-law! Seriously, I consider Mexico to be a hostile country.

We don't need to go to the expense of building a wall, we can widen and deepen the rio grande river in places to make it harder for the Mexicans to get into our country, and we can build a stout, double-layer fence with barbed wire on the top to stop the invaders.

Answer 4

Yes. But I doubt that a wall is needed on the Canadian border. Dark skinned, dark haired people crossing in wide open wheat country would stand out like sore thumbs.

Answer 5

Absolutely. Park an M1 tank on the Mexican border while you're at it too. I'm tired of my taxes dollars paying to support a bunch of lazy illegals who don't want to get jobs and pop out 4 or 5 babies.

Answer 6

A very large wall, with many armed sentries. Shoot on sight orders. That should send the message that border jumping will not be tolerated.

Answer 7

Yes along Mexico! Canadian borders aren't a problem, their government takes care of it's own problems, not like Mexico.

Answer 8

Yes. I also want every shipping port stationed with troops too.

Answer 9

The Canadian border should be guarded as well. Didn't the illegal Iraquis come through there? It's not about Canadians, it's about illegals coming through there. And for the Mexican border, all out border control with every means necessary to keep out all of the drug lords and smugglers as well as the corrupt Mexican federales. This dam* illegal alien BS is way out of control. Deportation upon recognition, no holds barred. I find these illegals to be a huge detriment to our way of life. Too many blood suckers with destruction on their minds. I refuse to feed those that want to destroy our nation. and they are millions not just thousands. Time for the Mexican American people who support la Raza to be charged with actual treason. Reconquista, my @zz!

Answer 10

I think the best solution is a two-part action:

1. Demagnetize the US by fining HARSHLY everyone caught hiring illegals.

2. Set land mines and snipers as our border fence. People would volunteer all its costs and men and it would cost the taxpayer zero.
