Senate Votes to Fund Border Fence 94-3

Holy Crap. Are our Senators actually listening to Americans?

Let the hackneyed Bush-bashing begin.... yawn.

As long as the fence has one way doors pointing south and we can kick the ones already here out.

Problem is, the fence they are funding is only 2 feet high

I cracked me up again.

Wonder who is going to get that contract. Does Halliburton put up fencing?

We have miles and miles of "Sound wall" on highway I-680. This used to be a beautiful road. It was on the "scenic highways" list. I'd be happy to donate a few miles of sound barrier to the cause.

While I am tired of illegals flooding this country, something that is in the back of my mind....

What if our government fell to a bad group and we needed to get out?

Good. Round up the illegal m*therf*ckers that are already here and put 'em to work building the damn thing - under strict supervision. Plenty of "day laborers" hanging out in front of Home Depot. Just pull up in a few big black vans and offer 'em cash for the work. Boy won't they be surprised when they get out and find themselves smack in the middle of the desert surrounded by guys with M16s. . .

Well it would be much closer to me...

It's just something that makes me a little uneasy somewhere inside...can't explain it.......but walls have trapped people in before (e.g., East Germany).

And bite me, red-beard. LOL

Yes, but think about how much it will help the economy of the southwest to spend 2 billion on a fence!

I like the idea of putting them to work on it. Make them build from the south side so that they wall themselves in.

Also like the idea of sending them all home, but at 12 to 15 billion estimated cost, I don't want to foot the bill. Screw it, make them legal and let them pay taxes, that'll teach 'em! They'll all be back in Mexico in no time.

I do not think Bush has anything to do with this. This was up to senators.

Everyone I know is all for a wall and I love Moses' idea. I actually worked with a company installing those walls, I did the lay out work. They go up very fast the only time limit would be the manufactoring of them.
