The fence is a worthless wast of tax payer $$, yet another pandering move to placate the electorate while avoiding the real fix.

Intead simply arrest the CEOs, board members and company owners who hire illegals, send them to jail for 6-18mos and fine them 2 years salary.

Then watch the flood illegals scramble to cross the border only going the other way!! LOL

No, dear, I used to work for the Immigration Association in Texas, I have seen first hand what pesticides do to these folks, and I have been in the Colonias that they have to live in.

You have totally missed my point. What I think needs to happen is the Neocons needs to enforce our immigration laws, and stop allowing them to come in and be exploited, and force Ameicans to compete for jobs at lower salaries. Do you not read one thing I posted?

"You obtain citizenship through legal channels. Simple isn''t it?"

LoL! Simple?! Oh, wow... if I had all day I''d sit and tell you how not even close to ''simple'' it is. I guess it''s simple if you''re incredibly wealthy.

Three-o-six...
If I were you I would get very proficient with a cross bow...they don''t make noise. Leave a few of the illegals belly up for the buzzards so the other trash can see what will happen to them. I would not let that happen to my land...I would have started to take out the trash along time ago.

Of course Mr. Foster is proud of his town. He is the Mayor, he should be! He''s not telling you about the prostitution rings that encircle these peaceful little border towns, and the good ole boys that have used the illegal workforce for the last couple hundred years.

If he thinks the fence looks bad, he should come to my community and see what his little buddies from south of the border are doing to beautify my place, and improve the value of my property. Like the cars that won''t run setting up on blocks, and the houses with doors hanging loose from the hinges, and the yards full of *** they steal and haul in daily.

Build the fence, and if Mr. Foster likes them so well,,,, "Well, there''s always those two bridges heading south of the border that are open to him".

Connapa,

Your comparisons are not even close. You are comparing the Maginot line to the Mexican border and the Nazi Army to illegal immigrants. I hardly thing that the illegals crossing the border into the US have Tanks, mortar rounds, or millions of dollars to fund an army. The point you are trying to make is not even close to valid.

"They come in here like storm troopers," Mayor Chad Foster said. "They are steamrolling the people and abusing our liberties and are absolutely out of control."

And there you have the complete story of the entire George W. Bush maladministration.

Nice point three 0 six. To further that point, Mexican gangs are now strong arming land owners on the borders. They are getting paid by those who want to cross into the States illegally in order to better the chances that they will not be stopped. And thats exactly what the Gangs are trying to provide. Its a big business in Mexico for these thugs. I just don''t understand how anyone can just be ok with that. It makes no sense at all.

Now for all of those of you that want the illegals here for their economic impact, which one of you is going to send me a check to cover the thousands of dollars of damage that they have done to my property?

Buy a gun. That''s what most other people do to protect their property.
