yeah, just cast your line out into the sand, you're bound to catch something.  probably just illegals sneaking across the border though.\nhow stupid are you?  you have to fish in the water.

I understand the point you are making with this question, even if most who answered you did not.  You're saying, "Why is the USA considered so 'bad' by everyone for wanting to defend our borders and keep illegal immigrants out, when every other country in the world defends their borders and nothing seems to be said about it?"  In fact, most of the other countries of the world are extremely harsh to illegal immigrants - often to the point of shooting to kill as they find them.  Mexico, for one, is far stricter on their southern border than the USA is and if you are found in that country illegally you will be subject to terrible things if you weren't shot to death, including imprisonment, possibly raping, beating, theft and bribery, etc.  Yet, even Mexico feels it has a right to tell the USA to let Mexicans come into the USA illegally or however they want to!  Give me a break!  I agree with Diaboyos' answer here, too.

They border each other, so you cannot give a distance in miles, depends on how wide the border is I guess.

It is not easy to get into this country legally, but most things worth doing are not easy.  As you said no other country, including Mexico, allows free and undeterred migration to their country so why should the USA.  The USA is a major terrorist target and we must KNOW who is coming into our country to protect our people and property from attack. It is about the greater good.  We could open our boarders and allow any and all who want to cross to come in but then how safe would they be after the bombings, gassing and killings started.

Lo siento, maybe never. Better to plan vacation in mexican border city, and visit mother there (if you are legal). Maybe consult with american Immigration Attorney. I do not advise illegal border crossing!

My best guess would be that Canada and Mexico at least will listen, rather than dictate. Wasn't a bad question until you added the last part, bigger fences don't make for better neighbours, the Canada/U.S. border has been an example for the rest of the world to strive for. The Mexico/U.S. border could be as well if current laws were enforced. 'Nuff said

NOT I. Too many others in line trying to do it the right way. It is very insulting to those individuals from all countries including Mexico. And as proof that I am not a raccist, my wife is Mexican and El Salvadorian.There are other legal issues and problems that arise all from this one subject,but not enough time or letters to type it all. I love all people from everywhere, God bless you all in a way that is detrimantal to your survival, but don't cut in front of someone that wants to do it the right way and become a United States Citizen. I know there is more to it than that and I understand. But that is the biggest reason next to an even bigger one I will not talk about online.

What exactly are you asking? those that live close to beaches swim in the ocean, those that dont, do not.\nMost people around the world do not swim for sport that is really only popular in western countries.\nIn Mexico they have cliff divers but they do it for money not fun.\nMy relatives live in the North of Luzon in the interior of that Island and do not swim.(they dont have a pool)\nI also have a cousin that lives in the south of luzon but very close to a beach and so swims fairly often.

Entering Mexican waters without proper permissions can be deadly. I would contact the harbor master from the port you are heading too.

They are lame excuses that pro illegal immigrant supporters have. I always wonder if they have toilets in Mexico or any other country for the pro illegal supporters to be using that as a definitive response. Do they not have lawns, restaurants or toilets? Why can't Mexico and other countries improve their economy for its people? It is not hard to clean up after yourself, so those responses are, well, dumb.

nnnnnnnnnnnn no . no what ?\nbuilding a wall is not the solution . let me try to explain so anybody can understand .\n\n1 . by making a wall , Mexicans and others will only find new ways to immigrate to the USA . believe me if there is something Mexicans have is imagination .\n\n2 . by making impossible for them to find a job in the USA the goverment will only cause that more choose to look for jobs under the table and therefor the number of Mexicans who do not pay taxes at work would increase ( i have to let u know that most do pay taxes and never get them back and those who do not are a minimum ) \n\n3 . by allowing them to work legally u would allow them to come out of the shadows and would make easier to capture and to prevent those who hate America to harm it .\n\n\n4 and FINAL . the solution is not a wall . if the American goverment really wants to prevent Mexicans to came ilegaly to the USA \n\na) first they need to accept the ones who are already here ( sendidng them all home would cause Mexico a huge number of people looking for enployment and Mexico would obvioulsy not be capable of producing all this jobs causing Mexico to not be able to produce a single job )\n\nb) second by investing all the money they investing in making a wall into producing more jobs in Mexico . do not forget that Mexico will always be the next country and stoping helping each other would only cause huge problems for both .plus by helping Mexico reduce the gap between both countries will benefic and help USA to face greater problems :\n\n-  terroristm ( an unestable Mexico would not be able to help u stop it if it cross its borders )\n\n-  other economies : huge china and india , the european union \n\n-  atomic potencies : iran ,  north korea , and several others which are not simpatetic to USA \n\n-  global warming : a real problem which needs to be faced today and not when the gas hit 5 dollars and the north and south pole do melt complitely .

Illegal immigrants have to swim thru the river to get to the U.S. they usually carry their belongings in plastic bags so when they cross the river they don't get wet. When they succesfuly crossed to the U.S. side they change and they rapidly scramble to hide from the border patrol. I used to see them do that because my daughter used to live closer to where the river was located. I had always told her to move from there because you never know what kind of people they are. And thank God she finally did.

I have a lot of friends from Pueblo.That doesn't change the fact that they are illegal.Some I taught English to and they taught me Espanol.There are even some that I helped set on the right foot towards citizenship.You know as well as I do that you should have gotton your citizenship by now.Those that I helped are on their way.I'm proud to call them Americans.A friend of mine from Ecuador just recently returned from the Gulf Coast.So it's not only Mexicans that Cross the border.It' not only you that we are trying to curb it's all of South America.Not only do we have an influx from you but from all over the world.Drugs,illegal weapons,female slavery and a host of other cancers that we can't see yet cross with those illegals.We have to secure our borders,all of them.If you are serious seek an Abagado.I think that's how you refer to an Attorney.I have friends from all over the world seeking citizenship the proper way.WHY CAN'T MEXICO AND YOU.GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND I MEAN THAT
