I've had enough of this B.S. Let's run the fence north of these whining communities and let Mexico have 'em.

"and these communities along the border are all, what, American or mostly mexican?"

Here is what they call a 'community' along the Texas border...COLONIAS...illegal alien squatter settlements.

What is a Colonia? THE THIRD WORLD IN THE USA

Texas Secretary of State's Definition: The term "colonia," in Spanish means a community or neighborhood. The Office of the Secretary of State defines a "colonia" as a residential area along the Texas-Mexico border that may lack some of the most basic living necessities, such as potable water and sewer systems, electricity, paved roads, and safe and sanitary housing.

Among the border states, Texas has the largest number of colonias approximately 1,800 communities, with more than 500,000 residents. Sixty-five percent of all residents, and 85% of residents under the age of 18, were born in the United States. (aka Anchor babies) These Americans live in extreme poverty and often are unaware of the services that the United States and Texas can provide for them.

Ninety-eight percent of the residents are Hispanic and speak little or no English.
