should be done... and any climbers arrested.\n\nThe guards who were arrested either should have their sentences disguarged or be pardoned entirely.\n\nCrossing the border improperly makes one a 'illegal'.

Bad idea in my opinion. Too many open security issues to be a serious matter but apparently, I am in the minority for feeling this way. This project, although not shrouded in secrecy, was not given the usual fanfare of publicity something of this magnitude normally would receive. No doubt, some will claim it is part of the NWO agenda, some will claim collusion between the leaders of the three nations involved, I don't know. I do know the whole idea sounds like a colossal waste of money and resources to no good end.\n\nLinks provided for your convenience

I didn't read your link (sorry, no time) but, I know when dealing with human beings and politics you have to deal with the worst and be politically correct.\n\nI've made my case here dozens of times, there is nothing wrong with the way border security is organized. They simply do not have the resources to do it all. Building a fence is not the answer, it's a waste of dollars.\n\nFrom all ports of entry, the desert borders, the northern border and by air, customs and border patrol need more people and technology to carry out their assignments.

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

Personally, I think that the border patrol should just let up - I mean - after all - that border belonged to politicians before the border patrol even came along and STOLE it from them.\n\nPLEASE DAR! Politicians are JUST HUMANS....\n\n(okay, even I can't keep a straight face with that last comment, do you think I'll get struck by lightning for even suggesting politicians are human?)\nI thought it was a funny story too.

What are you talking about?  Our borders leak live a sieve.  You might be aware that we have a little illegal alien problem?  You might have heard that Homeland Security says our borders are out of control?

I agree with you.  I think there should be a fence around the entire state of texas.  Call the governor of Oklahoma and let him know your concerns.  I'm sure he feels the same way.

Discover problem: illegal immigration cross over US boarders.\n\nSolution: Hire 6000 patrol officers to guard a 1500-mile border. Build a 500-mile chain link fence.\n\nProblem not solved. Charities now helping illegal immigrants cross over.\n\nNew solution: Increase to 14000 patrol officers. Offer 4-star holding-cells with welcome party to immigrants that make it over. Raise budget for war in Iraq. Hold party for other laws piggy-backing the immigration laws.\n\nProblem still not solved.\n\nNew solution: Legalize red-neck hunting of illegal immigrants.\n\nProblem solved.

BOTH borders should be CLOSED!!!! But,since the MILLIONS of ILLEGALS are sneaking across the MEXICAN border,THAT is why it is such a great concern!!!!!!!!!!

just wanna see what everyone's thoughts are on this interesting and recently very hot topic...

I just got a email from a friend regarding Australia. They are having some immigrant Muslim problems. The radicals are getting out of hand. The government and citizen are dealing with it. One signs said" if you don't like our language, culture and laws get the hell out". \nA few years back they had a real Chinese illegal problem ships dumping of them. They dealt with it rather fast.They cut out chain immigration better now as family unification.\n\nThat is as much as I know on this new immigration anti terrorist issue, but I think that is about as much information that one will get. Most will probably be opinion depending on their side. I have no agenda.

Where Exactly Is The Border Secure??\nThe Whole Border Is Open

I think someone needs an a$$ whopping. It's ridiculous. How are the minute men suppose to succeed if they are constantly being ratted out.\n\nLOL LisAnn I hear you. I think we need to put a hospital right on the Mexican side of the border. That way they can't wait at the border until the women go into labor.\n\nHow about this for an idea how about we pay them to build the border fence.???? Of course it would be supervised and they would be working on the opposite side of it.

I think the sporadic fence and remote sensors, increased border patrol and training and technology to help them do their job, coupled with drone aircraft is the way to go.  That is what is being discussed, but we have to make sure it is seriously implemented. \n\nSince concerns about border patrol are stalling immigration reforms including legalizing the bulk of current illegals, Bush is probably going to put National Guard on the borders until the other measures (whatever they end up being) go into effect.  He really wants part of his legacy in office to be the legalization of qualified current illegal immigrants and the creation of additional future legal immigration (on top of our current rate of legal immigration) through a guest worker program.\n\nI have some concerns about the manner in which the guest worker program will be implemented. (How do we make sure these new temporary workers leave when it is time? Will their employers pay health benefits and impact fees to schools to cover the extra burdon?) However, if the border is really secure and we make the guest worker program work like it is supposed to, I am generally ok with Bush's plan.\n\nKYRealEstateGuy, of course it is about terrorism. One of the 9/11 terrorists came across the border illegally.  After 9/11 and with the middle east rhetoric we can't afford an unscreened flood of who-knows-who across our border.  The President's plan intends to INCREASE legal immigration from Mexico to the extent other countries are accusing us of favoritism (no joke).\n\nFor me the border security is the most important piece.

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.

It is a new time....America has always been protected by oceans on both sides. Although there is rampant corruption and pathetic government structure to our south , Mexico has mostly been nothing more than a nuisance for it's drug trade. Canadians and Americans have had very close ties aside from an occasional policy difference. today...I think there should be greater border patrols on our north and south borders. With terrorism and it's networks pressing the envelope in finding new ways to destroy us we have no alternative but to increase our security to meet the new dangers.

Thank the pro-hispanic lobby on this one, what it largely seems to amount to is a 'shotgun wedding' between the US and Mexico, and american taxpayers are supposed to buy off on all this garbage and not bat an eye. Since the reverse effect is happening, well it kind of shows that the GOP's head and hind-quarters aren't very well connected anymore, or one has lapped the other, something like that...what this also brings to light, though, is all these other 'programs' that give money away all over the place, Matthew Lesko's dream-come-true, and the taxpayer's worst nightmare, wealth redistribution in the worst possible sense. I think if we're going to help Mexico, it needs to be a lot more metered, and done AFTER the border's nailed shut, so as to minimize the negative impact on american communities. I think when the House finally gets around to consulting the voters on this one, there's going to be a general consensus going back to washington that basically says 'fix the border, and forget the rest of it'. It's a nice idea to try and help others, but if that 'help' is just going to get abused, there's not much point to it. Necessity's the mother of invention, and a lot of the people that originally settled the United States didn't get much 'help', because there wasn't any. Let's not have any more of this 'give away the country to appease your 3rd world business partners' garbage....Mexico could be rolling in money(some already are, they just don't share out) and feed, clothe, and educate every last one of their citizens, probably just off their oil revenues, but instead they'd like to ride the american guilt trip into a split-level condo...time for voters/taxpayers to wake the hell UP and say 'no mas' at the polls, come november...
