Could it be because someone has the common sense to realize the “border fence” is just a scam by Gilchrist, and it’s a fiscal blackhole that everyone knows won’t keep illegals out?

You’re going to spend more money building, maintaining, manning and staffing the “fence” than illegals take in welfare entitlements, and considering many illegals come here legally and overstay, or slip in on plane and in cars and trucks, it won’t keep them out.

The “border fence” is Big Dig II. It’s just a scam to rile up people and make it look like someone’s doing something, when all it would do is blow billions of taxpayer dollars on a do-nothing project.

A fence is only a single line of the multi layered defense that’s needed. Alone it’s all but worthless but combined with workplace verification, real punishment for those who hire illegals and denial of services to illegals it becomes very effective.

Oh, dear. You really need to do some reading up on this. Have you ever been to the border and watched them swarm over an inadequate fence? Have you ever visited a site where the new fence is installed? I have. Where the new fences have been built, they work. But we need to build enough of the fence to reach effective critical mass to keep them out. The fence is not long enough yet. I suspect you are operating on late 80s information, as are many. That said, you are right about the visa overstays, and which need to be curtailed as well, and we need to impose employer sanctions on businesses that employ illegal aliens. But if fences don’t work, why is there a big one around the White House? If fences don’t work, are we being scammed into building them around prisons?

But you have to keep the money circulating amongst the masses in order for them to have a few bucks to return back to the Congress criters to divide up again and give back via the tax scheme. And so it goes on and on, over and over.

That’s funny, the Duncan Hunter border fence has proven quite effective.

A fence is only the first necessary step in securing the border, it is not a cure-all. Those of us that live on the border know this. Without a fence I do not believe the border can be secured.

I would be more than happy to spend the same money on a fence instead of giveaways and other costs (jails, etc) for illegals. If it did end up costing the same, I would still think it was a bargain- but I believe the fence will be cheaper than what illegals cost us now.

Nonsense. A fence is one of the steps, not the only one, to deal with the invasion of this country. And it would make a big difference.

Damn it, do a little research will you? The border fence scam is CHRIS SIMCOX - minuteman civil defense corps - MCDC.

Jim is the guy that created the original Minuteman project as part of an overall strategy to get the illegals out of the US and keep them out but C-H-R-I-S S-I-M-C-O-X is the one soliciting "donations" by running the border fence scam through MCDC.

sheesh!
