Laredo border fence offers possible comparisons[erected in 2005]

Ewww...is right, but it’s apparent someone is getting ‘serviced’ somewhere in this deal.
Because the WH wants the issue of people opposing the construction of the fence thereby stalling overall construction. It plays well in the media for the open border types.
And.....protests by natural U.S. citizens would be minimal. I think we're all pretty much in agreement that we would do whatever it takes to turn this tide.
2013!! Are you kidding me? When (not if) there is another attack on US soil, it will highlight this as the number one blunder of our time, and we should hold the recalcitrant officials responsible.
I know that is not the fence they are building. chertoff’s idea of a fence is really just yellow caution tape.
“Work on Texas border wall to begin soon: Chertoff”
How about starting today you klutz.
Now here’s an example of eminent domain as it was originally intended.
Exactly. I understood there is already a 'buffer' zone easement on private property on the border. B4, do you know?
If I lived on the border I'd give the government an easement to get a GOOD fence.
Why should a college get to have a fence, when America can't?
Chertoff said security needs will dictate the fence’s type and location. “Because the fence is not only to protect the border communities, it’s to protect the country,” he said.
If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.
Apparently you are unable to read English. I will repost:
Why should Tejanos leave the country their ancestors fought for and which their families have lived in for hundreds of years?
In an English relative clause, "families" is the antecedent of "lived."
They have had a couple hundred years and are not yet citizens? What gives?
Tejanos are not citizens? Since when?
Do you really not know a single thing about the history of Texas?
That is some major vacation/siesta time. Vamoose. Or serve time and be escorted home. We Americans are reasonable people, but not total fools.
Translation: you advocate deporting and/or imprisoning American citizens for the crime of being ethnically Mexican.
Acquire a grip.
If they and their ancestors have lived on this side of the border for hundreds of years, that would make them Americans and they belong here. If however, their ancestors fought on the loosing side of the Mexican American War and had to leave after 1848, then they are Mexicans and need to apply through the proper channels to come back and live as Americans.
It is moronic to call for the deportation of American citizens because they oppose building a wall. Perhaps they are being selfish for wanting to make it easier to visit their relatives in Mexico - but we don’t deport Americans for that.
Is that your gut feeling Mike?
I never said American citizens should be deported, but if they want to go to Mexico for a visit, us the check points.
Because they do not want to follow the rules and laws of the country they reside in for starters.
I guess we can't build it then, because the dubious interests of the few on the border outweigh that of the rest of the Nation.
PINGY
Will he or wont he actually BUILD THE WALL/FENCE?
My ancestors already tried that in 1861.
I do not understand this thinking! Its like saying its ok to steal if your poor {no matter if your poor because you like to drink and use drugs}.
