I think it is a good idea. They need to put razor wire and electrify it. Make it so that they cant dig under it. You do that by making the trench extremely deep and fortified.
Hey that's great. I think you could build an Israeli style 4 foot thick poured concrete wall for 2300 miles, with barbed wire, electric current, and automated machine guns, and the cucarachas would still come. We need to halt the hiring and coddling of these people, in addition to building security fences.
@imaevildoctor, sorta like the American residents of border towns, constructing walls around their homes to keep the mexicans from robbing them blind ?
Meanwhile, undocumented immigrants contribute billions to Social Security and Medicare, and will never benefit from them.
And do any of these bigots against people wanting a better life not realise half of all current undocumented immigrants come here legally, and then overstay their visa? So a fence only stops half of the flow. And it would bankrupt this country to deport all undocumented immigrants.
@rllang01 I'd love to see a statistic that undocumented immigrants are involved in billion dollar ID theft schemes. Still, it would bankrupt this country if they attempted to deport all of them.
@rllang01 Umm no, you asserted the positive statement, so it's on you to prove it. I'm not going to do your work for you. And my point about undocumented immigrants contributing billions to programs they won't benefit from is true.
And the deficit level has been higher in the past, so we're not at a level we haven't been at. Yes, it has to be lowered.
Let me ask you, what do you think the government should do? Cut taxes?
@ImperativeNation. Its the national debt that is the issue, not the deficit. The "higher deficit level" you cite is still part of the debt today on top of all the other defict spending that has occured. The world is already flooded with US treasury bonds, how in the world could you expect central banks to take on even more ?
The US govt. has no choice but increase taxes. You can expect your income to shrink, your bills to increase and your savings to dwindle.
@ImperativeNation You're right. It would be easier to militarize the border, and cheaper to shoot the violent crimmigrants than try to box them out with a fence.
Actually, he literally suggests using something he normally used on livestock.
If you asked for water and I said you could use my horse trough, would you drink from there? you might say, "hey that's for horses!"
Of all of the fences along many borders in the world, NONE OF THEM HAVE ELECTRIC CURRENTS. Israel/Palestine, Malta, Iraq, East Germany, none of these barriers were electrified. It is commonly understood that human beings deserve at the least, better care than animals.
he said something to the effect of, we can put non-lethal electricity across the razor wire to deter people from climbing over... we do it all the time with livestock. he thinks that if it is good enough for livestock, its good enough for run away slaves.
@polymath22 re: run away slaves. Are you talking about the free foreign aliens from another country that "just come here to work", fleeing back to Me hee co, or are you talking about the crimmigrants on the way here?
I thought Christians believed in God. What on earth does this loser believe in?
And how pathetic that Republicans have gone from "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" to "I've got a buddy who can build a mile of electrified wall a day!"
@nategreene11 re: Berlin Wall. That's right. The communists felt the need to fence people in, in their own country (occupied Germany), because people wanted to run to Free Germany.
I bet Steve King knows the perfect contractor in his district that can build that wall. For some campaign contributions, Steve will simply allocate a few earmarks to the contractor. Lovely how corrupt our system is.
I remember when I was a young kid, I thought that the majority of us Americans had a genuine desire to be good people. The real world is a sad, sad place.

@ImperativeNation Illegal aliens with fraudulent Identities is already documented, you're just not looking because that would upset your apple cart.
The country has 13 trillion dollars worth of debt with less than 2 trillion in revenue.
According to the CBO by 2014 Government spending will consume 90% of GDP.
That means, for every dollar that you will make, the government will spend .90c of it thru debt spending.
The country is already bankrupt.
