Learning From France and Isreal

The recent riots in France, which as of this writing has been going on for 2 weeks, have started everyone thinking about U.S. immigration policies again. Some people, like myself, feel we should round up an deport all illegal immigrants. Of course that would be tough to do, but i think its worth it. Now of course i don't think this will happen any time soon, but at the very least we need to stem the flow of illegals coming across the Mexican border every day. One idea is a fence. It seems to be the easiest and most practical. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R) San Diego has proposed the construction of a 2000 mile dual layer fence, equipped with high tech sensors stretching from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. The fence would cost about 8 billion dollars. Well worth it if you ask me, but if we take a lesson from the Isreali's, we can save a lot of money, and even a lot of time. Isreal built some cement walls for a fraction of the cost of the fence and it has been very effective at keeping out terrorists and other undesirables. According the the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, more than 2,360 linear miles of cement sound barriers are now in place along U.S. highways, built at a cost of 1.4 billion dollars. Why not do the same along the Mexican Border? The Isreali's have shown us that it works, the highway dept has shown us that it's cost effective, and the French have shown us that it's necessary.

Hey I have an idea. Let's a build a giant cement wall like you say, but in Arizona, let's make a gigantic maze that allows those from Mexico to get in. At the end of the maze will be the Grand Canyon. Have fun, Amigos.

Good fences make good neighbors. Obviously the Chinese knew this as early as 700 BC. I dare not suggest we need a Great wall, but a pretty dang good one will do (maybe with a moat patrolled by frickin sharks with frickin lazers on their frickin heads)

Anon...i love how you socilaist globalists always bring up the same point of how this is a nation of immigrants blah blah blah. If you cant see the difference between now and then , as well as the difference between legal and illegal immigration then perhaps you should sign up for our blog instead of hiding behind your cowardly anonymity. Im sure the Rhino and myself wouldnt mind enrolling you in one of our "special needs" classes

Wow!! Denial really isn't just a river. You should be ashamed........Hector!!. Donkey at least you are not denying your your drunken ways. But take your head out Hector's ass. And please explain the "deffierence" between legal and illegal immigration from the perspective of a member of "Coiste na n-Iarchimi"(look it up) Well at least you used to be one. Looks like everyone has forgot..........

Is that the best you could do is try and correct my spelling as opposed to my point. Typical. Maybe you should form your own opinions instead of relying on your patchouli wearing hippie friends. As far as the "Committee of Republican
Ex-Prisoners" is concerned I think they have other concerns which have absolutely nothing to do with immigration, but I appreciate you attempt to reference an obscure Irish org (which Donkey endorses)to once again get the debate off target. Try again SON!

Warlike said...

Ha Ha......Anyway. As Donkey has probably informed you Rhino this is MIB aka Remy aka "Who's That??" etc. You guys got a nice show going here. I thought I would stir you guys up. Peace and chicken grease.............SON!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew it was you, the "hector" was the telltale sign. I told donkey it was you. keep on keepin on.

Warlike said...

Yeah yeah yeah. "take it deep". Donkey did not know it was me. And God save the Queen!!
