I have stood next to the border fence in California. True, a determined person or organization can get over it. But it’s an important symbol. It’s like the six foot ornamental fence surrounding your property. It makes a statement. “This is my property, stay off.” Will that keep off someone determined to cross your property? No. But it will keep off the other 99% who would otherwise cross.

NEWS FLASH: The southern part of urban San Diego is not Rio Grande riverfront 50 miles from the nearest town.

Do you seriously believe that somebody that is prepared to march 50 miles through the Texas desert is not prepared to cut though a friggin' Fence?

VIDEO: See how easy it is for illegals to jump over, cut through or dig under Mitt Romney's Fence which costs Billions and cuts off Texas ranchers from the Rio Grande.

The sections of the California Fence are short segments strategically located in high population areas that affect no riverfront property rights.

Try proposing on a stage in San Diego, CA that the Border Fence be extended along the Pacific beaches of Imperial Beach and up the beaches of Coronado, Mission Beach and La Jolla, cutting off San Diego from it's beaches, and see how long it takes before the rotting tomatoes start flying straight at your head.

If you are a Texas Rio Grande riverfront PROPERTY OWNER, that Fence means that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has trampled all over your PROPERTY RIGHTS and HAS GIVEN AWAY YOUR RIVEFRONT TO MEXICO by putting it on Mexico's side of useless Fence and that the Federal Government has CUT OFF YOUR CATTLE FROM THE RIO GRANDE.

For what?

For a "symbol"?

A "symbol" of what?

The trampling of private property rights by the Federal Government?

You don't think that the friggin' RIO GRANDE RIVER is enough of a symbol for you?

You actually want to GIVE AWAY THE ENTIRE RIO GRANDE RIVEFRONT TO MEXICO?

Hey, why not?

Let's cut off American property owners from the Imperial Beach, Coronado, Mission Beack and La Jolla beaches by extending the Fence there in order to show those Mexicans how tough we REALLY are.

It's sure easy for a liberal from Massachusetts, a congresscritter from Minessotta and a talk show host from Georgia to give away Texas riverfront property to Mexico, isn't it?

How about this solution?

In order to compensate the Texas riverfront property owners, the Federal Government can confiscate private property in Romney's Massachessets, Bachmann's Minnesotta and Cain's Georgia and give it to the Texas Property owners. Let's see how eager Romney, Bachmann and Cain are about THAT plan.

I have stood next to the Fence Line at Guantanamo. In the 1980's, the "Fenceline" separating GTMO from Communist Cuba, along practically it's entire length, was nothing but barbed wire cattle fence, that was a lot less imposing than this one because the GTMO Fence only had there strings of wire.

What kept the Cuban Army on their side is BOOTS ON THE GROUND and that is exactly what Perry has always proposed.

My friend it’s useless to reply to the FR windbags here who have never been to Texas....frankly, they are dumbasses in the highest order talking about a fence. I don’t even reply because there are actually not that many...they just show up on very thread with the same nonsense. Most of them are Yankee’s who I would like to round up and march their ignorant azzes along the nearly 1400 miles from Brownsville to the Arizona border and see what they had to say about a fence then. Unfortunately you just can’t help stupid people and it seems that FR has bunches of them lately...
