Why aren't we simply planting landmines along the Mexican border?

why don't we just shoot them instead w/ snipers?... we could set up a wall like they had in berlin and when immigrants try to cross the border we could just shoot them down.  or we could just send a few nukes down to mexico and kill them and their families.  OR we could get to the reason why illegals are coming here- because corporations and small businesses hire them ILLEGALLY and just shoot them and then immigrants will no longer want to come here.... ooohhhh but that would be killing white people... and that's not ok.... it's only ok to plant landmines on mexicans because they are people of color right????...  pendejo!!!!

Most people don't know what goes on at the border with Mexico. Minutemen nor fences are going to deter coyotes from trafficking people. The corruption is overwhelming,it has been a profitable business for Mexican Customs officials and even some of our own that participate in blowing the whistle where to cross. You are right, our government is attacking this problem all backwards, and just spending tax money fruitlessly. If these people can't find work, for sure they will return home. But as long as we give them a piece of the cake, or even some crumbs, they will still be coming in droves.

No, I am not. There is only one way of dealing with this. You cross over illegally you get shot, plain and simple. There are plenty of people in the US that would love to patrol our borders, so let them do the job and we wouldn't have so many illegals in our country.

No mexico isn't planning any wars or attacks. Mexico can't really do anything about the immigration problems because they are broke as hell. Every politic in mexico is currupt so all the money is stolen by the government. so yeah thats why.

In case U hadn't noticed, we can't invade Mexico because we ARE Mexico.  There R just as many Mexicans in the USA as there R down there.  The line that divides our 2 countries gets blurrier every day.  Our only course of action is 2 drag them up out of the gutter, upgrade their 3rd world status, fix them up like we did with Japan back in WWII.

I think it's time we nut kick Vicente Fox. There have been numerous incursions of our land by both the Mexican military and federales who are escorting illegals and drug runners into the US. They have fired on Border Patrol Agents and local Law Enforcement Officers. This has been outlined by Arizona Rep Tom Tancredo on various news channels, yet it still goes on! The link from fireman shows the contempt this scum has for us, and it's still tolerated. JD is right again - time to lock and load! The only thing that's brown on my land that I won't shoot is my dogs! God Bless the USA!!!

No, invading Mexico would only create more problems. We already have enough.   Just seal up the border, and enforce ALL of our immigration laws and deport all illegals upon discovery .....do all that there won't be a need to invade Mexico.

On the contrary.  Haven't you heard, there are plans to build the Great Wall of Mexico.  And as far as the remaining borders, including the Canadian border, the plans are to increase the documentation requirements for traveling across the borders.

First of all, you twit, Mexico isn't a "back door"... Now... if you look at Oregon... hundreds of miles of border... Pacific beach, and Canadian border, and ONE Border patrol officer. ONE. You are worried about Mexico??? \n\nSecond, I don't think we have to worry about the Mexicans crossing our borders WITH GUNS.\n\nMexico can't KEEP their people in their country, so I don't think they want to TRY to take over the USA, cause as you saw on the news, there are MILLIONS of MEXICANS who will NOT go back. They wanna be here? Let them fight for it.\n\nThird, yes, we are "occupying" Iraq, and Afganistan... Iraq... Well, they say we are trying to "make it better for their people"... If they want it "better" they should have to fit FOR it, like WE did 200+ years ago...\n\nAfganistan... We NEED to finish the job there.\n\nEDIT***********************\n\nRosita, who answers this question after I did, is an IDIOT.\n\nGeorge W. Bush is NOT finishing a war his father started in 1994.\n\nWTF did you come up with THAT crap???\n\nHere:\nThe First Persian Gulf War, Jan.—Feb., 1991, was an armed conflict between Iraq and a coalition of 32 nations including the United States, Britain, Egypt, France, and Saudi Arabia. It was a result of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait on Aug. 2, 1990; Iraq then annexed Kuwait, which it had long claimed. Iraqi president Saddam Hussein declared that the invasion was a response to overproduction of oil in Kuwait, which had cost Iraq an estimated $14 billion a year when oil prices fell. Hussein also accused Kuwait of illegally pumping oil from Iraq's Rumaila oil field.\n\nThe UN Security Council called for Iraq to withdraw and subsequently embargoed most trade with Iraq. On Aug. 7, U.S. troops moved into Saudi Arabia to protect Saudi oil fields. On Nov. 29, the United Nations set Jan. 15, 1991, as the deadline for a peaceful withdrawal of Iraqi troops from Kuwait. When Saddam Hussein refused to comply, Operation Desert Storm was launched on Jan. 18, 1991, under the leadership of U.S. Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf.\n\nThe U.S.-led coalition began a massive air war to destroy Iraq's forces and military and civil infrastructure. Iraq called for terrorist attacks against the coalition and launched Scud missiles at Israel (in an unsuccessful attempt to widen the war and break up the coalition) and at Saudi Arabia. The main coalition forces invaded Kuwait and S Iraq on Feb. 24 and, over the next four days, encircled and defeated the Iraqis and liberated Kuwait. When U.S. President George H. W. Bush declared a cease-fire on Feb. 28, most of the Iraqi forces in Kuwait had either surrendered or fled.\n\nAlthough the war was a decisive military victory for the coalition, Kuwait and Iraq suffered enormous property damage, and Saddam Hussein was not removed from power. In fact, Hussein was free to turn his attention to suppressing internal Shiite and Kurd revolts, which the U.S.-led coalition did not support, in part because of concerns over the possible breakup of Iraq if the revolts were successful. Coalition peace terms were agreed to by Iraq, but every effort was made by the Iraqis to frustrate implementation of the terms, particularly UN weapons inspections.\n\nIn 1993 the United States, France, and Britain launched several air and cruise-missile strikes against Iraq in response to provocations, including an alleged Iraqi plan to assassinate former President George H. W. Bush. An Iraqi troop buildup near Kuwait in 1994 led the United States to send forces to Kuwait and nearby areas. Continued resistance to weapons inspections led to bombing raids against Iraq, and trade sanctions imposed on Iraq remained in place, albeit with an emphasis on military-related goods until the second Gulf conflict.\n1991 YOU IDIOT.\n\nOh... that was probably BEFORE you were born...\n\nLet me explain, HUSSEIN attacked a neighboring PEACEFUL country, overtook it and refused to leave. The UN

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

put up a wall?\n\nwho do you think will build it?\n\ndont freak out over the border so much, there are just immagrant workers who want to make enough money to eat and live a decent life.\n\nas for the "murderers and terrorists' croossing the mexican border\n\nthe terrorists responsible  for 9/11 crossed the canadian border. where there are barely any gaurds, besides a little toll-booth-like-box that checks out "suspicious" cars

I Think Its Entirely Possible To CONTROL The Border\n(Walls, Fences, Patrols, ETC.) \nTo STOP The INCREDIBLE AMOUNT Of People Illegally Crossing The Border DAILY \n(In 2004 the actual number Was over 10,000 per day! That's more than 3.7 million per year!) \n\nAnd YES, I Think We Should Use ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES\nTo Do Whatever We Need To Do To Stop This\n\n11.7 percent of Mexico's total population of Citizens lives in the U.S.(In 2004)\n\nAt current rate of border crossings By 2010, 14% of total U.S. population will be ILLEGAL Aliens! \n\nI KNOW We Can Secure Our Borders Better Than That\n\nMANY Good Reasons To Continue TRYING At This Site\nhttp://www.laughtergenealogy.com/bin/header/immigrants.html

A better and more economical way is just to put armed US troops on the border. This would also help to curtail the drug problem as well

I am in agreement with many that we must control our borders. It is a national security issue and the drug lords freely pass drugs into the United States. Okay but we have problems on both sides of the "f". The "fence" will not stop the corruption of US Officials who allow these drugs to be passed. These same officials will have a key to open that "border fence" to admit the drug lords but will not permit the passage of the poor illegal immigrant that came to clean up your buildings instead of blowing them up. Why do so many drugs come into the United States? The answer supply and demand. We need these illegal immigrants to work the jobs that our so drug addicted nation will not fill. WE NEED COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. We do not need to repair the damaged levy by placing our finger in the hole. We need to repair the entire levy. DON'T let these politicians keep you ignorant....This whole smoke screen/border fence is just a ploy to get them reelected. These same politicians know that we need this "illegal" work force just as much as they need us.....Think.....if it were not true would it have taken them so long to do something about it. NO it wouldn't have. The 911 incident caused us all to think....but did the illegal alien mastermind that event. No, he didn't so why treat him or her as if they did do it. STOP RACISM. HUG AN ILLEGAL ALIEN TODAY \nWho cares build the fence. The American public has clamored that they wish for this atrocity to be built. Then once all those billions of dollars are sunk into the building of this shameful wall......there will be no money for mass deportations...You see this is why the government is building this wall... We all know that it will not serve the purpose for which it is built....They didn't even build a levy that could protect New Orleans..... the illegals crossing are just as unpredictable.....Build the fence so they will be able to say later well we don't have the money now for deportations.......Also you will see discounts on ladders on the other side of the border. You just need a ladder to safely scale the wall without a scratch.

Sure why not, mexicans are not terrorists, people who seek war on the other side of the world are.
