"We welcome all except racists and bigots."

You say that those in favor of seeing US immigration law enforced are "racists and bigots"? Golly, I didn't know that.
Since I like a winner--See: George S. Patton: I believe he shot a couple `banditos' that got on his bad side--I always look to see which side is `name-calling', then I join the other side.
I welcome all legal immigrants; unlike `Meheeco', we are a nation of laws, not men.

"The state and federal government have bought up most of the land around the border. I suspect that's why we'll never get control of the border."
That right there is called a damning indictment.""

SOOOO put the wall inside whatever strip of land has been "federalized.".

[tertiary01]

If you are soo patriotic and in love with the ideals of our founding fathers why do you feel you need to impress those in other countries above all. I think you are the embarrassment!

"dislike of racists and bigots"

What precisely makes any American racist and bigoted for wanting a secure border to prevent hordes of illegal aliens from invading this nation? Would you be so adamant if the wall were separating us from Canada? China? Russia? Any other country other than Mexico, or is it just because this involves Mexico?

Are you in favor of globalism? Trans-nationalism? Or are you in favor of America's national sovereignty? I'm just wanting to understand your beliefs regarding this country.

And BTW, Playing the racist/bigot card so cavalierly is so DU.

Assuming there is 2000 miles of border (just an estimate), that's 10,560,000 feet. At an estimated $150 per foot, that comes to $1.584 Trillion.

Did you mean 1.584 Billion??? Much smaller sum. I imagine that the border states spend this amount of money each and every year on services for illegals.

Your comparison of the Illegal Aliens to "Foreign Invaders" is ridiculous and disgusting. They just want a better life for themselves and their families. That is exactly the same type of people who have created the America that we know today.

Your head is so deep in the sand I'm surprised you haven't suffocated already.

"The racists and bigots..."

Yep, once your argument no longer holds up, toss out the race card. I gotta admit, it took you a while, though.

[tertiary01]

And mumps outbreaks are all over the country.

[ridesthemiles]

If the Minutemen do it, it will cost $150 per foot just to cover the beer tab.""

Maybe, but even at $300/foot, allowing for the beer tab, it will be worth it.

It is costing me more than $300/annually just for the extra increase in my "uninsured motorist" auto insurance coverage. I would gladly trade that for a fence.

[ridesthemiles]

This is one temporary solution...signs all across the border...might make them think twice before crossing over.""

They cannot read ...

"Your comparison of the Illegal Aliens to "Foreign Invaders" is ridiculous and disgusting."

Your smokin' crack. they are invaders, plain and simple. They thumb their noses at the laws of this land. Everyone here realizes the reason they come, but those reasons DO NOT excuse their illegal crossing. No one here here wants to stop LEGAL immigration, we want ILLEGAL immigration stoped. Your excuses are ridiculous!

Raytheon Completes Successful Border Control Effort ~ (an operational demonstration SW Texas)

**************************************************************

During the six-week mission, Athena and CBP successfully detected, intercepted and deterred transnational threats, drugs, and alien smuggling across the U.S.-Mexican border over a large joint operations area including 160 miles of coastline, 120 miles of land border, and nine ports of entry.

We welcome all except racists and bigots.

And, of course, you can tell if people are racist or bigoted just by looking at them?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

The so called "Minute Men" have become an embarrassment to America and a disgrace to the name they have stolen.

Where do you rationalize that from?

[tx4guns]

No, trillion. 1.58X10E9

[Xenophon450]

Well you seem to be fighting hard in the cause of ILLEGAL Immigration. So the question is, how many illegals do YOU employ? Keep them stupid and keep the wages low thats what these employers like, id say thats sorta like Feudalism...hey thats soooo 1100 AD, how about you wake up to 2006. If you aren't employing illegals then why fight for ILLEGAL immigration? I cannot think of any other conceivable objective. If you are wanting to help people then good they can come here legally and get paid more per hour.

[Durus]

"No, just a lifelong love of what made America great and dislike of racists and bigots."

Unfortunately it doesn't appear that you know what a racist or a bigot is. For that matter I don't think you understand what made America great either.

Did you hear about the Plague outbreak in LA earlier in the week?

I am a Minuteman...I am not a bigot..I am a law abiding citizen...legal means something to me..but I am beginning to wonder why I abide by the laws of this country..I seems okay not to according to our politicians and the Liberal media...

...and don't forget LPM1888!
