This. Cut out the freebies, and hold accountable the employers that continue to hire them.

More important than border fence is to stop the incentives.

Those being:
Severely penalize employers who hire illegals. Demand e-verify to be used.
Stop birth right citizenship.
Stop all welfare to illegals - including free education of their children and free healthcare.

These people are coming here with no education, no money and they don't speak English. They don't even speak Spanish. They speak slang, village languages from where they are from. They are coming here with their hands out expecting US to pay for them forever.

I have a friend in Costa Rica and his builder is from Nicaragua and he quit. When my friend asked him why he said he was going to the US with 5 friends because Obama was telling them to get to the US pronto and this man is no "child" like they are claiming. He is a 36 yr old man.

We need to pull all funding to these foreign counties and all these military guys who are coming back with no jobs can be stationed on the border.

We have Vets with no legs, Seniors who are eating cat food and kids who help and people who are losing their homes and we are pouring money into these countries. It is costing us $250-$1,000 PER DAY to care for these kids. Those are the administrations numbers, not mine.

CLOSE THE BORDERS!

Just an idea.
No, we should stop sending US Dollars to all Nations, that includes everyone including Israel, we cannot afford to be their parents.
Then pass the Bill that already has the building of more fences included in it.
