Tom Ridge has a home for them all.

And your solution is? It is easy to rant, but very hard to solve a problem.

You want a wall. Sabertooth said he crunched the numbers and he said it would take about $100 billion a year to maintain.

Yeah, and that's just for Mexico. We've also got over 4,000 miles of border with Canada, as well as the coasts.

Walls are idiotic. So are troops on the border.

Tom Ridge is still an idiot, though, and shouldn't be where he is, encouraging Illegals to hurry up and get here in time for an Amnesty.

By the way, did you notice that Ridge used the numbers "8 to 12 million" Illegals? 12 million is a big concession as to the consequences of the bipartisan malfeasance.

First throwing out a number is invalid. One could arrive at many vastly different numbers.
Compare its cost to the cost of the problem increasing exponentially. Whatever it costs, it will be worth it...well worth it.

Dane, I see you throwing your hands up in the air all over these threads. What do YOU suggest we do to fight illegal immigration -- since you oh-so-sanctimoniously seem to believe that most of the illegal Joses here are hard-working toilet scrubbers and not the assorted criminal lowlifes and welfare spongers that I have seen with my own eyes.
