Are the fences to keep others out...or you in?

Par for the course. He wants a Fence to keep folks out of his yard that don't belong there, yet doesn't mind them jumping the fence to come into our back yards where they don't belong.

What does this have to do with Obama?

As for that other fence....So long as small business continues to recruit and hire, they will come.
Having to pay Tatyana $15/hr, who can't be bothered to say hello to her customer before ringing up their deodorant and Diet Coke, won't encourage illegal labor at all.

Many Rs thought a shorter 2' fence would be even better, but were discouraged by the Secret Service...

The 700 mile double layered wall on the most porous areas of our southern border already approved by congress but not funded would go a long ways in deterring them from getting here to take those jobs. That along with e-verify would go a long ways in reducing illegal immigration and by the way, terrorists and criminals are not looking for work, so........

The fence was built with water bottles every 2 feet in height in case the climber got thirsty... a bulletproof vest was also placed every 5 feet along the fence so the undocumented fence climber won't be at risk of death trying to find a better place over the White House lawn... they deserve a better place then the trash outside the fence... they heard the person in the White House is very generous with other people's money... so why not go to the source?
