In 18 months the Dems have done nothing so I guess they are also controlled by those corporate masters. No wonder so many of those guys are millionaires.

Your logic. No need for banks to lock the back doors. Bank robbers usually use the front door.

If America wants a formidable and nonporus border we need to hire as consultants former members of the Deutsches Democratsche Republik (DDR) Staszi and the Soviet GRU. The former East German border ran hundreds of miles and was effective since only a few got through it in the 30 years it existed. Thousands tried and thousands died trying. Every part of this border was a kill zone and we could do a lot better than the DDR could do with rechnology. So lets make razor wire, guard towers and thousands of miles of raked gravel and electrified fences the first thing they think of when the word America comes to mind. Remeber happiness is a warm gun yeh.

At least you admit you were trolling. It was obvious.

This is one of my biggest fears, that terrorists will gain easy entrance and cause some real damage. what if they set up camp in Mexico an start training the Mexicans to be terrorists, just food for thought and a real possibility.

Uhmmm The wall that seperated east from west Berlin was meant to keep people in.
Our wall is meant to keep illegals out. Last time I checked we as a nation have a right to do so.

Compared to the Armed Frontier along the DDR/BD border that ran from the Baltic shore to the Czech border the Berlin Wall was a cute piece of masonary. The US and other western powers called these barriers ugly scars across the heart of central Europe. They were viewed as the product of a security obcessed state that checked its human decency at the door. The human ideal is a world without borders where everyone can chose to live here or there. Just like modern Europe under the EU. I think the USA will pay a heavy price building the same kind of ugly scar across the American continent. Nothing will more mock the ideals we claim to have as a nation.

Really? You don't think that elected officials prostituting themselves to criminals who have crossed our borders and remain here illegally for votes over the enforcement of current laws endangers the safety of this country and her citizens is a mockery of this nation's ideals and laws? You don't think that demands for amnesty by these foreign invaders waving the flag from their nation of origin on our soil mocks the ideals of this nation? You don't think the refusal to assimilate into the US culture and use the English language mocks the ideals of this nation? You don't think that violent gang members who have entered this country illegally, who have committed rape, murder, vehicular manslaughter, assault, identity theft are a threat to the safety of this country? Seriously?
