Why dont they just put up an electric fence on the border, easy way to stop people from crossing over.

I wonder where the UN and all its resources are at during all this?

Shouldn't they recognize this as some huge humanitarian crisis in South America? Set up their camps, feed these people. Do all these things but "Over There".

That's what I'd like to see. Not a lethal zap but one that will stop them from breaching our border.

I've been looking at bits of the Omnibus Bill that will probably pass. For the border, they are committing to providing more tents, supplies and faster transportation to settle more people.

Not a dime to stop people from illegally crossing.

I heard a comment somewhere that the money for the Border Patrol was contingent on them not preventing anyone from entering the country, but I can't find that wording in what I'm seeing. Wouldn't doubt it though.

It is a better plan than a minefield.

82% of the citizens of El Paso are Hispanics. They are now getting paid back for putting ethnic ties above the safety and security of their town and the rest of the U.S. I feel little sympathy also.

The Republicans have been fooling themselves for decades with the idea of the "conservative Hispanic voter," but the reality of the "conservative Hispanic" is limited to their lives at home. As far as voting, they overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

Latinos consistently vote for leftist Hispanics because the candidates are leftist and Hispanic.

They support candidates who are weak on border security and strong on free cheese for immigrants. They vote for the guy who supports open borders and who will support the Latino voter's relatives when they enter the United States illegally.

They have no interest in citizenship as the leftists have debased the benefits of citizenship to the point citizenship is no longer necessary to live a good life in the US.

Their children who were born in the US and have US citizenship vote Democrat because they remember all the free stuff they got when they came here illegally.

Let them eat the cake they chose.
