Mexico builds a wall, it’s appropriate. When the United States builds one, it’s racist.

As long as the murders, rapes, kidnappings, ID theft, and credit fraud is happening to everyone EXCEPT our elected local/state/federal officials, their family members, and close friends -- illegal Entry into the U.S.A. is officially NOT A PROBLEM.

I consider it an insult to mine and every Americans intelligence the way this AND past administrations
have down played our National Security along the



southern border !

Thank you so very much, nothing else needs to be said here, you have said it. The way past administrations have handled this whole situation with illegal immigration, is an insult to every American born in this Country, don't care about the party 's both have failed us royally, both!
Caledron is a freaking joke! Hate to be so very blunt on this issue, but those in Power and our Government need to get some ball- on this issue!

yea real effective. why is there even an 'illegal immigration' sub forum? the wall was a success
3 million wasted tax payer dollars to correct a fence that was built in mexico
absolutely stupid

Any dollars spent to curtail illegal immigration, terrorist and criminal entry into our country are dollars well spent. If we can spend billions in foreign countries in defense of our nation why shouldn't our own borders be protected also?

it was a failure. it's stopped nothing.
"farmers have done it for centuries" wtf?
yea we're farming illegals to the tune of 3 billion dollars. what a joke.
here is an example of the competence involved:

Part Of US Border Fence Built On Mexican Soil (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/06/29/part-of-us-border-fence-b_n_54448.html - broken link)

The 1.5-mile barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was designed to keep cars from illegally crossing into the United States. There's just one problem: It was accidentally built on Mexican soil.

Now embarrassed border officials say the mistake could cost the federal government more than $3 million to fix.

what's 3 million dollars though right? smh

If that is true then the government screwed up but that doesn't negate the need for the double layed fence to be built on our own soil.

That kind of fence was supposed to be built along 700 miles of the border. What it does is make the aliens try to enter elsewhere in more dangerous places and it gives the border patrol less area to have to cover in the porous areas.
