I had heard that a fence was ordered by Congress years ago since this would be very beneficial to the states to help protect their borders. What I found is a billion dollars in waste, miles of post the government calls fence and about 200 miles of real fence.

If they would of done their job years ago, we wouldn't be having the mexican cartels taking over Az.
More government wasting our tax dollars. Do you think we could get that list of waste itemized so we can see for ourselves what's going on?

I guess you live by your party agenda but life is just not like it's put on a piece of paper..is it ?
Here's a hint for those who like to project their own partisanship onto others:

I have never belonged to any party and I never will. I have voted across the entire political spectrum, because I vote candidate - not party. Especially on a local and state level. But do continue to assume.

You're right -- we don't need to bring religion down there because we already did, 100s of years ago. Wake up.

Of course they DID defeat the French.
So then you should have no problem with them coming here. The Americans should just be better fighters!

The US didn't bring any religion to them.

The French and the Spanish did.

We are being invaded though. What do you expect the US to do?

The people on the border are getting fed up with teh lack of security.

Oh! Mercy me! So there are no descendants of Spanish or French in the US! Who knew!!!? I think a family friend of mine with the surname Villademoros would be interested in hearing your history lesson, since he actually is a descendant of Spanish settlers who became Americans when we purchased land from Spain. And parts of the South and SW US weren't once part of Mexico! Right? Except -- the Spaniards went all the way up to Vancouver, the Brits held portions of the upper Midwest and Northeast. Gosh, I wonder... where did those states with the Spanish names get their Spanish names? It's a mystery I suppose, since apparently ALL Americans descend from the original BRITISH, founding fathers. Or something.

Thanks for the info dude!

You're inserting your own context for my usage of "we".

Not surprised.
