Relax.
Once these folks at the LADWP learn English, settle up their back-taxes
and pay a fine...
It will all be A-OK.

The President told me so a few days ago.

"See, that's why we should just have open-borders"

That's the beauty of the "virutal fence." No one is stopped, they get over the border, much more expensive and costs will be cut, voila! Sucker voters think they're getting a "fence" with warm feelings of security, while the flow of "labor" goes full force with a minor "bump."

Globalists and class-warriors like Bush are clever folk - or someone thought it up for him.

Ummmm...you can thank the Senate for the "virtual fence" crap, don't blame Bush, he supported the House bill:

A recent immigration reform bill passed by the House in December is drawing sharp criticism for its provision mandating the construction of a fence along the nearly 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexican border. President Bush has spoken in favor of the bill authored by Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.), known as the Border Protection, Antiterrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005. Bush has already signed legislation appropriating more than $70 million to install new barriers and improve existing protective infrastructure along the border. This includes fencing as well as vehicle barriers and lighting to enhance border security.

The arses in the Senate are the ones whining that a physical fence will cost too much and would send a "negative message" to Mexico:

Senators writing an immigration bill argued Wednesday over whether an actual or "virtual" fence should be built along parts of the nearly 2,000-mile border between the United States and Mexico.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., has proposed a "virtual" fence, using cameras and other technology to monitor illegal traffic, as part of an immigration bill.

But Republicans were split on his proposal, which stands in contrast to one passed by the House late last year calling for 700 miles of fencing at heavily trafficked areas on the southwestern border and study of a possible fence along the Canadian border.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, whose state shares the longest border with Mexico, said border fencing would be a "dramatically negative message" for the U.S. to send its neighbors.

"It may well cost billions of dollars to provide such a barrier or fence wall between our countries, assuming it was practically possible," Cornyn said.

More whining at the source.

These don't sound like "jobs Americans won't do."

[ America is being salvaged for parts. ]

Exactly.. Funny how the last thing on republican officials minds is/are, Voter Fraud.. Must be "somehow" voting is controlled already.. 20 to 30 million new democrats will not effect the outcome.. because its all controlled..

Could explain why they do not care about Voter fraud.. When democrats maybe even republican voter fraud is a controlled thing.. Nothing to worry about evidently, what will happen is supposed to happen..

Could explain the last few elections.. and maybe the next few too..
And could explain why republicans generally could care less about massive KNOWN democrat voter fraud..

The Globalists seem to be in power in both partys.. Like in the Clinton era, you are either a team player or you are DEAD.. or ejected.. i.e. Porter Goss..

I heard Rove say it, so it's Bush's position.

"don't blame Bush, he supported the House bill:"

Oh yeah, that Immigration bill. He "supported" it, at first. He lied again. Privilege of the Presidency.

don't read the following if you have high blood pressure:

Not a surprise. The workers employed by L.A. County to take care of trimming the trees on our block's shared utility easement didn't even speak English. I had to assure them there was no "perro" in my yard.

Sheesh.

You heard Rove say what about the fence? Also, your link is about border patrol...it has nothing to do with the fence. Quit trying to change the subject.
