[...] and animals found nowhere else on earth. Environmental groups and laws are holding up construction, much to conservatives’ displeasure. Fences built along the U.S.-Mexico border are threatening wildlife species and the ground [...]

- I agree with snicol. Drones shouldn’t cost a quarter of
a million dollars (let alone $15 million for the Predator-B !)
- that is WAY too expensive, especially at a time when we
are waging two wars and dealing with a multi-billion dollar
trade deficit.

- “Incentivize”. This also goes for Iconoclast (7:06 am).

- Retnan –

Instead of “deincentivize them to come”, how about
“motivate them not to come” ?

Most Canucks don’t live in poverty, duh.

A wall probably won’t help much. You need to punish employers who hire illegals and rent to illegals. If they can’t get jobs or homes that will deincentivize them to come.

Why are people who wanted the Berlin wall torn down “zealots”?

Robert Barr comment: “I note with interest the drones which are operational in Iraq being controlled out of Nevada and wonder if that is not the best solution to monitoring the border along the southern US.” DHS already has lots of drones flying over the southern border, as well as a couple on the northern border. While they, and the border wall, and the virtual wall, have little to no effect on immigration or smuggling, they are a great source of pork for Boeing and Kiewit and other companies that feed at the federal trough. US border policy is pure pork dressed up as national security.

“the project has been plagued with cost overruns, lengthy delays, frequent breaches, and expensive repairs.”

Yet there are idiots in America who think the federal government should also control health care.

The soap opera that is the illegal alien saga could be called the Young and the Fenceless.

Oh, great idea—arrest people at the hospital. Let’s make doctors and nurses responsible for immigration control. Like they aren’t busy enough already. I’m sure people who devote their lives to healing won’t mind tattling to the INS. And let’s discourage people with TB and other diseases from getting treatment, we could use an epidemic or two.
I suppose that would be easier than asking y’all to give up cheaper groceries, housing, hotel services, and the myriad of other industries depending on illegal immigration to keep costs low. People complaining about illegal immigrants reward them as much as anyone else. You sure aren’t avoiding the fruits of their labor, are you? There are certainly Americans who are stupid and lack mental comprehension. You can find them proposing simplistic ideas to get rid of them thar funny-talkin’ furriners.
