Yes, there IS a good economic reason not to build the wall.

Cut out the welfare and other benefits of every kind and go after the employers of the illegals at little cost. That'll stop the influx and start an exodus. This is the one plan the White House doesn't want.

I should have been more clear in stating that conservatives, including many here, are actually HAPPY with this second-choice bone (a wall) thrown at them to keep them quiet....oh, brother.

The first and only choice is the one stated above.....but the President will never do this as he doesn't seem to mind the invasion and is for amnesty. He knows the idea of the fun and games of building a highly-visible, behemoth, high-tech wall will keep everyone (especially security moms and techies) entertained and riveted for a long time while the actual pro-invasion program keeps going on as planned in the background.

The idea of the cost of the wall versus the cost of health care and education for the illegals is a false choice. Neither is acceptable.

BTW, what's the Adminstration's position on anchor babies, one of the greatest rip-offs in present-day American history? Don't answer. I already know the issue is NOT being addressed, nor will it.

As every golfer should know, the Adminstration wants you to keep your eyes on the Wall.

OKay- I see your point. I have listed a 7 point plan to fix the problem, and the wall is only one point. I need to put it on my home page so I can reference it easily. Hold on...

Okay, here it is:

1 end the anchor baby policy
2 end welfare benefits for non-citizens
3 end subsidized health care for non-citizens
4 swift and harsh jailtime for employers of illegals
5 build a 1951 mile wall from the Pacific to the Gulf
6 allow non-citizens to cross into Mexico with impunity
7 Pass the FairTax
8 overthrow the current Mexican regime and install a non-corrupt, capitalistic government


sorry, 8-point.

Dream on. The courts, ACLU, La Raza, the Dems, and the Catholic church will never let that happen. Moreover, there is quite a support network in the US, which will help them to stay here regardless. According to the 2000 census there are 9 million Mexican-born residents in the US.

The idea that these people will go home because they don't receive welfare and other benefits is delusional. These people have come here at great personal risk and expense. They are leaving Mexico and Central America where they have no hope and opportunity. Being poor, uneducated, and jobless in America still beats being poor, undeducated and jobless in Mexico and Central America. Why would they want to return to those hell holes?

The idea of the cost of the wall versus the cost of health care and education for the illegals is a false choice. Neither is acceptable.

Why isn't a wall or fence acceptable if it reduces the flow of illegals across our borders? How do we maintain our sovereignty as a nation if people can cross into our country without any scrutiny? These are not false choices. We are also told that it is impossible to deport 11 to 20 million people. Do you honestly believe that we have the political will to deny children access to school, school lunches, medical treatment at ERs, etc?

BTW, what's the Adminstration's position on anchor babies, one of the greatest rip-offs in present-day American history? Don't answer. I already know the issue is NOT being addressed, nor will it.

It should be. What do you do with the millions of illegals who have anchor babies? You can't deport the children or deny them the rights of citizenship including social benefits.

When you have a water pipe break in the basement, the first thing you do is shut off the water. Then you can deal with the water damage. We need to gain control over our southern border and crackdown on visa overstays first.
