Senate Passes DeMint Amendment to Build the Border Fence

[Piriathy]

Now I have a reason to not like Al Franken. Really Al? REALLY?

Even if it is expensive, I think it should be done. In this case, saying it is an excuse. LIke how "we cannot arrest them (illegals) because there isn't enough room in the jails" or "we cannot massively deport them because we lack the manpower" whatever. We have to start somewhere. Illegal immigration IS a SERIOUS PROBLEM.

AUDIT THE FED!!!!!

[BeyondTheSpectrum08]

I believe in a strong border too, but come on...the East Germans spent a billion dollars a year maintaining the Berlin Wall, which had barbed wire, guard towers, patrol boats, mine fields, and attack dogs....and STILL 1,000 people a year managed to cross it. Let's be practical, not political!

[jjjohnson805]

@BeyondTheSpectrum08 only 1000 people. that would be great if we could get it down to that number

[SAYESTOHEALTHCARE1]

we are a nation of immigrants they are no different than you,,we stole this land what right do we have to keep people out?

[jjjohnson805]

@SAYESTOHEALTHCARE1 u're a joke.

[mattmatt115]

@SAYESTOHEALTHCARE1 what right, or obligation to the aboriginals?

[Vaportrail69]

@SAYESTOHEALTHCARE1

Yoi can go emmigrate to Mexico if you like ......

[uprightnbreathin]

Don't fence us in, we may be needing to run that way soon...

lol

[jasonwaggonerify]

Get it done Jesus. A tall concrete wall should have been built in the 1980's. Deport illegals they are parasites.

[morseson]

jasonwag..... "Get it done Jesus."

That's hilarious!

Jesus is going to build that wall, with Manuel, and Carlos!

When the IMF dissolves our currency into the Amero, and the GDP of Mexico surpasses the US, you'll be crying for mexican tourist dollars, and yelling: "tear down that wall."

[jjjohnson805]

@morseson what a good laugh u are.

[morseson]

Some poor people sneak into America and they are called "illegals who steal american jobs".

-Buy something from asia or opec, we get product, while they get US dollar.

-They take our dollar and spend it where they get the most VALUE. Emmigration to the US.

-non productive people are exported from their economy into our economy, using the dollars we gave them for "crap products"

Largest rising ethnic groups in chicago.....

Asian, Polish, MiddleEastern.

Where are all these mexicans?

Wag da dog

[jjjohnson805]

@jasonwaggonerify well said

[soicuw]

now I just wish they'd pass his audit the fed amendment

[bdweaver09]

That is Ron Paul's bill in congress.

[StinkFingerr]

About time.

[PostToastie]

Can't we keep illegals out using less expensive methods? What if we were to quit issuing drivers licenses to illegals and quit giving them free health care, wouldn't that SAVE us tax dollars, hell, there aren't any jobs here for them to take anymore, anyway, they won't be wanting to risk their lives to come here for much longer. A fence won't keep illegals out, but it will sure do a good job of keeping us slaves IN.

[SAYESTOHEALTHCARE1]

make them legal then they pay taxes,,, they are here,,not leaving we cant afford send them home(costs too much),,12 million new taxpayers would be good for the country,,plus think of the money saved chasing and jailing them deportation ect,, meanwhile secure the border,,,

[bdweaver09]

You are full of horse shit. It would be 10 fold cheaper to get them out of this country. Look how many hospitals have completely closed over the past few years because of the illegal immigrants. Hell how or why would they pay taxes if we do not really know how many are here?

[cowboybill1943]

i sent my senator e-mails every week about building the fence. it works,she is a dem and voted for it.

[lsucowboys99]

maybe palin is resigning to challenge lisa murky mind murkoswki. if we cant do better than that nepotism appointed scum in a red state like alaska, were pretty much dead

[bittergunowner12]

Notice how most of the Nay votes are Democrats.

[thesoothsayers]

I can't wait till Martinez is gone.  Everybody in Florida, vote for Smith he is against Amnesty. The rest are for it.

[mdbarnes21]

Keep up the fight Senator. You have a growing silent majority with you!!!
