NEWS: US Builds A Retarded “Fence”

the globalist pigs / drug cartels run mexico , what it needs is a young Fidel Castro and lots of Guns.

It is hard to even read a response from someone who has an avatar that says "I'd rather be waterboarding"

By this logic, I should be able to give you smallpox.

What is all the crap that is going on on the border? Clean dishes in restaraunts? Farms having labor to plant, pick and pack produce? Money going into your local economy? It sounds horrible.

We should be building doors, not fences. That is to say, we should be building opened doors. They're just as bad if they're locked.

Also, the doors are metaphors, so they're free.

Well at least it will keep out the retarded immigrants, right?

We should build big jumps and give them motorcross bikes or something. That way they'll get a head start on assimilating to the culture. From here on out you must "extreme sport" in.

Hilarious. The dude with the "I'd rather be waterboarding" avatar and who wants to incorporate the immigration policies of every country on the planet into our own and apply them to people based on country of origin is complaining about "big government" and complex immigration policies.

Also, the examples you used to illustrate your "fair is fair" immigration policy are not examples of immigration policy in Saudi Arabia and Mexico.

I think this is the first time in my 31 years of life that I've heard someone defend what the white man did to the Native American culture. I hope I don't hear it again for at least another 31 years.

That about sums up the tone of most of his commentary. Save yourself the trouble and put him on ignore now.

Actually, I would think that the ones smart enough not to fall for that would be the ones we want.

The blame the victim mentality the 1st world has used to deal with the 3rd world have led to crap like this. Apparently everyone is on a level playing field and can go 1st world if only they pull themselves up by their own bootstraps; history starts after the decolonization of a country.

Pfft, more fencing and vehicular walls? That just means more people will risk it and go through the deserts. Leaving holes in the new fencing will only encourage the minuteman project to continue going out to home depot and buying farm animal fencing type materials. pfft.

Mmm, spending money is awesome.

I would like to take this opportunity to link here.

they can only build 1/3 of the fence because there won't be anyone left here to do the labor on the rest of the thing

Not to poke holes in what I'm sure you felt was a carefully worded argument, but I live in San Diego. Here's a visual aid for you. And I've gotta tell you, I'm a little more concerned about things like rising foreclosures in the area, my father's unemployment, the risk of all of Southern California catching on fire again this fall, and the way the Padres keep choking in the postseason. "All the crap going on", as you so eloquently put it, hasn't really been high on my list.

My head hurts.
And what really makes my head hurt is that there are a ton of people like martinj_b52 out there.

How bout this one http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/18/418705.aspx

I know FTR posted this in his original story however I thought it needed to be repeated for emphasis....

"...DHS has no problem pursuing elderly and struggling homeowners. In the small town of Granjeno (pop. 313), however, the border fence would, conveniently, "abruptly end" at the property owned by Dallas billionaire Ray L. Hunt.

It's not surprising that the administration would be hesitant to upset Hunt, who was a Bush-Cheney campaign "Pioneer" in 2000. More recently, Hunt "donated $35 million to Southern Methodist University to help build Bush's presidential library." In 2001, Bush appointed Hunt to his Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, granting him "a security clearance and access to classified intelligence."

Then why are the people who live on the border, the people this article is about, so upset that the government is taking their land?

*sigh*

You have to admit that forcing them to move off the border is a pretty elegant inbuilt solution to their complaints, though. One relocations later, and their opinions are just as invalid as yours!

I agree with Ron Paul's assessment of the immigration issue. Illegals are used as a scapegoat by the neo-cons, and as a rallying point for liberals, but we all lose by embracing either side. Either we continue to expand subsidies and entitlements, which are putting future generations into crushing debt, or we enrage our neighbors with harsh extraction and prosecution efforts.

The solution isn't simple or easy, but my man RP has the right idea: Address the more fundamental economic policies that distort and cripple our markets and money. Let the free market decide whether sneaking over US borders is a potentially lucrative risk. I believe if governments got out of the way, we could sort this out over a shorter period of time, if it can be sorted out at all.

Because, after-all, Bush hasn't pissed off enough people yet. He has to get at least one more shot in before he leaves office. And hey, they're getting an extra $600.00 back on their taxes right?

And I believe in fairies.

Sadly I think that's part of the plan...

Get those that actually notice how ass-backwards things become to give up and stop caring.

That way we can join the sheeple and then the government can REALLY break out the vaseline.

Fixed.
