The Berlin Wall kept people in — like prison walls. A border fence keeps outsiders outside — like the walls of a house. (FWIW — from a foreigner who respects a country’s right to control its borders.)
Build the fence north of Brownsville, so it can officially become Brownsville, Tamaulipas, Mexico. It’s apparently what the officials and residents really want.
Give me Hell Tancredo!!! You speak for me!!!
<...”This wall,...will also alienate people and businesses...” said Rev. Raymundo Pena, Bishop of the Diocese of Brownsville.>
We can remedy that by building a giant seawall along the U.S. shore of the Rio Grande. We’ll use J-Damns to clear the path. Of course that would come after seizing everyone’s property through public domain condemnation. After the wall is built, just let them try and swim the river!
“Boos and hisses emanated from the audience for a congressional field hearing when Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado dismissed residents’ concerns that the effort to build 670 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border by year’s end would damage the environment and destroy a centuries-old bond between residents on both sides of the Rio Grande.”
Centuries-old bond between residents? When was the Alamo again?
Ping!
I like that idea of Tancredo's!
*Perez said, “It really isn’t a border to most of us who live down here.”*
Good! Then you won’t mind living south of it.
SMACK!
Tancredo should wear his reception as a badge of honor.
The U.S. Marines should be sent to occupy Brownsville. Its appaently been seized by agents of a foreign power.
“Tancredo and U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, both former Republican presidential hopefuls who ran on anti-illegal immigration platforms, argued that environmental degradation caused by unchecked illegal immigration and drug smugglers exceeded any impact from the fence.”
Who will speak truths like this for us when these 2 men are gone from Congress next year?
