My Thoughts On The Border Fence
Shay
So I see that the incoming Congress may revisit the border fence idea - which sought to stem illegal immigration - and may scrap the plan altogether. No surprise there.
However, unless there are armed guards ready to shoot trespassers - as I understand Mexico does with its southern border - then it is useless anyway and mere political puffery. Some folks will argue that my position is too hardline. I say that millions of illegal immigrants crossing America's borders is an invasion worthy of self-protection. If folks want to avoid shootings, then stay on your side of the fence, don't tresspass, and go through the proper channels like other immigrants must do. No special rights.
This must be where all the non-Kosian Democrats have been hanging out. Too bad it looks like they might be getting more than they bargained for.
length.
The other bad news is that 85 % of the illegals arrive here legally by bus after getting a temporary visa pass from the mexico embassy good for 60 or 90 or however many days and fail to return to their homeland, as proscribed by law.
The big politicos never seem to care about illegal status of the 15-20 million illegals. For them the entire issue is employment of cheap labor and using and retaining the issue as political leverage and promises prior to elections.
Talk to Schwarzenegger or GWB about illegals and the talk reverts to a "worker program". They ignore the illegal status to which their sworn oaths to uphold the law mandates.
Anyone ever heard the Attorney General's stern 'we shall uphold the law" commentary on the status of illegals ?
The funniest comment I've heard about the whole debate comes from the politically un-correct Carlos Mencia. He noted the plan was to send all the illegals back across the border, then build a wall.
His question: After you get rid of all the illegals, who's gonna build the wall!?
Heh.
