Yay

I dont agree with Pat on a lot of things. But this is one issue we are both on the same page one. We do need to have better control of our borders.

It probably wouldnt hurt to have a barrier with Canada either.

Wow...this is gonna send Vincente Fox into a conniption. He'll probably start foaming at the mouth or something.

Can't wait to sit back and watch the fireworks, but you're right, long overdue...but will be difficult to maintain and enforce nonetheless...but a vast improvement over existing conditions.

Pat Buchanan's fence? Is he paying for it? Is he building it?

Anyway, I am thankful that someone is finally doing something to protect part of our southern border.

He was the first person I heard the idea from. So it's as good a name as any.

I have no idea how Vincente Fox can argue that illegal immigration should be allowed...the man is insane.

I guess all our "blacks" will have to take those jobs now, huh?

but it's just that I have known, worked with and hired so many Mexicans over the years, and have so much honor and respect for their hard work ethic and honesty. I really do. I've been told that for some reason, most of the Mexican illegals in Texas seem to come from different parts of Mexico and Central America than those in Arizona and California, and this accounts for a typically different quality of Mexican immigrant. I don't know. I simply confess to having a soft spot for the Mexicans I've known for so many years. They are all very fine people. They work hard, raise families, and while I don't know if they file an income tax, they certainly pay State sales and local property taxes.

We have to have control of our borders. We are a target. A lot of people would LOVE to see us taken down a peg...even most of our allies.

I would have no problems making it easier for mexicans to become citizens LEGALLY. But we cant have open borders.

Theyre also very proud to be living in this country.

Another way to help stop illegal immigration is to help fix the Mexican economy, and help the peasants that were screwed by NAFTA. If they have decent lives where they live, they wont have as much desperation to come to the states.

One way or another, these people deserve a better life, and less hatred thrown at them by ignorant people who dont think about what their lives must be like.

Theyre no different than us. They were just born into a different social and political caste syste,, one that is not as forgiving as ours.

That provided more better paying jobs than before it. The Mexicans need to help their own economy. The US has done plenty to help, they need to help themselves and removing corruption and cracking down on crime is a nice start. No one hates them, they just shouldn't be allowed to come into the US by the millions as they see fit.

Um, their economy is not our responsibility. They are a democracy...they can fix their own economy.

We are not obligated to remain vulnerable because they might have crappier lives. They dont have the same excuse as the middle east...they are free.

Whose fault is that? They control their own "caste" system!
