If we don't want any more mojados(mexicans) coming back, SHOULD WE MAKE A BIGGER WALL IN THE BORDER?

I think a big wall isn't going to stop someone who is welling to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to cross it. Tunnels are common on the border. There are also things called latters and with the right tools anyone with a little know how can cut break etc. an opening for a person to slide through.The WALL is Just a psychological barrier and jester from some "smart" politician trying to save his cozy little seat in the house or senate. The incentive to come to us isn't to "crusar el rio" crusar la frontera.It's the jobs,the almighty dollar. Yeah and I'm sure some greedy government contractor would love to pay undocumented workers to build a wall out in the f....ing desert for 6 bucks an hour screw the government for 16 an hour. Lets see what our politicians come up with next. This is the reason everyone able to vote should get involved and not just lay blame on politicians. We elect them if we vote. Guess who doesn't have that right? non citizens.

The Earth, this country included, was, is, and will be based on the migration of people.  I think that it is rediculous to keep people from moving about the planet. And I think it is rediculous to build a wall to keep people off of land that, though you think belongs to you, does not belong to you.\n\nNo - a wall should not be built along the US/Mexico border.

We have to be smart. Walls and intense surveillance on the borders shoot to kill drug smugglers and their police and Mexican army escorts.\n\nMake a legal way for those in the country to become legal, since sending them all back is NOT a real option; it is just an emotional answer.\n\nDeny all services to undocumented aliens, no driver’s license, no welfare, no food stamps.\n\nMake conversational English requirement for all who desire citizenship. We do not want to disparage their roots, but it is the LEGAL language of the USA. Opportunities get better for them when they speak both languages, so MAKE IT SO FOR ALL IMMIGRANTS (not just Latin).\n\nAmend the Constitution to revoke instant citizenship for anyone born here, this will stop the "anchor baby" problem. The rule should be one citizen OR LEGAL immigrant parent. That is more than fair and just.\n\nOnce that is implemented, open immigration to people in record numbers, because the illegals would be cut so far down, thousands of others would be able come in. Allow legal immigrants to share in social services, that is fair.\n\nI don't even think that it would be bad for the USA to allow children to attend schools that live across the border in Mexico, BUT if we want to allow that, we need to have Uncle Sam PAY FOR IT. It would be a nice way of being friends after the 30 foot walls go up!

If there is an iron clad agenda to kill our enemy, and to discourage, forever more, the insurgents from entering Iraq, then I say yes.  This would require a serious ratcheting up of our activities, it would require the use of bigger and meaner weapons and ordinance, it would require border crossings to get to the real bad guys.  If this is our game plan, then I say yes.\n\nIf the purpose of sending more troops is to expand patrols and police action, then I say NOT.  We don't need more of the same bull sh it, we need a policy that will destroy the enemy, and let them know, we finally mean business.\n\nSorry, libs, your pacification program has been put back on the shelf!

They should build the wall alone the same lines as the Great Wall of China.\nStaff it with the battle hardened troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan for support of the Border Patrol.\nOh yeah, sorry could not think of one reason not to build it.\n.

No, America should annex Mexico. This could solve a lot of problems.

Maybe do that while we build a very tall, thick cement wall all along the border. We need to slow this invasion down.\n\nThe illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America. \n\nhttp://michellemalkin.com/archives/004869.htm\n\nThen the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.\n\nThe illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.\n\nIllegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits. \n\nMy family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.\n\nThey not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them. \n\nI am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years. \n\n"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexico’s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole. \n\n \nCu

What do you mean "reasons for both sides"?  What reason could there be for Mexico to not want a wall on the border?  No legitimate reason that's for sure!  A wall  manned by the US military would solve the problem.  \n\nFirst, it would bring our troops home from the middle east and let them do something to help our own country rather than the futile attempt to change the beliefs of a bunch of fanatics.\n\nSecond, it would keep most of the free loading, non tax paying illegal aliens out of our country.\n\nHell, what's not to love about having a wall built.  I would be glad to send my tax dollars to the border patrol to build one rather than have it go to non-english speaking mexicans, who came to our country illegally, on welfare.

20 more years and Mexicans will finish the invasion. Learn Spanish now, people.. you'll need it to fight for the few jobs Mexicans won't want to do.

Bad idea.Once they are allowed in they won't leave.\nSend the illegals back and don't let any more in.This is an invasion that the goverment is failing to protect us from.Big business wants them here to be slave laborers at low pay and without benefits.\nDon't listen when they tell you Americans won't do the job.If they could GET the job instead of illegals,they would.And when they say it's too many to send back,send them back the same way they got here.One at a time!\nStop feeling sorry for lawbreakers who want to take over and change us to suit them!

A serious commitment to border security \nwould require fencing off the entire southern border—\nall 1,891 miles of it. \n(For comparison, \nwe have 40,000 miles of Maintained US Interstate Highways.)\n\nAt $1.7 million per mile \n(the cost of the first 10 mile stretch in San Diego), \nthe entire U.S.-Mexican border \nall 1,891 miles of it\ncould be sealed off for $3.3 billion dollars.\n\nIraq spending equivalent: 13.8 days.\n\nCost/benefit analysis, anyone? \n\n\n\n\nI Think We Should BUILD The Wall\nTHEN Decide After 5 Years If It Is Working Or Not

You actually have a great idea. Make the Mexican immigrants join our military, and then have them guard the border against other Mexicans.

From what I hear our prisons are over crowded due to illegals.  If that's true, the only solution is to secure our borders then send em home.  But it appears an amnesty is coming and our borders will be opening even more wide.  Once legal, we're stuck with them, so I guess we just build bigger prisons and hope for the best.

It's about time. We need something better than this wall though maybe some lions from Africa to catch the illegals that might make it across somehow.

Einstein is your leader?  Sorry.\n\nI don't want them to stay and I don't want anyone to come--we are too crowded period. I care about the land-period.\n\nIf you do stay-life goes on. I will adjust. I will not support law breaking. I will not support a bad government (we have one too). But I do not break the laws. I won't go out of my way to turn someone in for being here and I will be nice to all-just don't ask me to break a law or lie for you. I will not pretend everything is fine-I face facts. And many problems have been caused by the flood of people coming in. And more will be coming. Sad but true.\n\nMy conclusion is--our government will do just a little on the border to appease the people. Not a lot. I am not sure what they will do on Amnesty. If they say OK fine. \n Do I want it this way-no.\n  \nAnd if we combine--I hope we don't destroy the land in Mexico with our constance building and rape of the land. And letting in more than we can pay for or care for.\n\nEinstein? Hasn't he gone over the edge  of reasoning a little?

Exactly, think about it.I've noticed that with ppl not slinging around the r-word hardly anymore that all of the immigrants suddenly became Mexican again.\nBut I will be the R person for saying it.Why would we build a 60' wall across the border to Mexico but not on the border to Canada?
