There are just under 2,000 miles that cover the entire US-Mexico border. Divided by $3.8 billion that comes to $1.9 million per mile and that divided by 5,280 comes to $359 a foot.

It's time to build a fence similar to fences installed at maximum security Federal prisons. Not only would it virtually eliminate illegal crossings other than fraudulent border crossings, but would save on labor costs, fuel and greenhouse gases, prevent the import of illegal drugs and child sex/labor slaves all the while making the border far more secure.

This situation makes the cash for clunkers fiasco look good.

Dell - face it - they will NEVER build a fence. Bush didn't. Obama won't. We hear every song and dance and cliche' offered as to why we cannot have a fence, shouldn't want a fence, etc.

It's absurd. The Democrats want illegal aliens to be absorbed as new Democrats - especially when we don't require ID at the polls. And the Republicans want the cheap labor.

It's over. The country is hemorrhaging.

there's a reason why people are now against immigration reform. we can't employ our own. allowing people to flood in isn't helping anyone's situation at all.
the border with mexico isn't the same as the one we share with canada, which is the longest undefended and essentially unguarded border in the world.
we should have taken mexico a century or so ago when we had the chance, a border at veracruz would be a lot easier to protect!

i am so tired of politicians worrying more about keeping their seat than in doing hard work and fixing things!

saw where obama wants the money to go.
can we finally fix that border so we don't have to continue to react, rather than be proactive?
i mean, its' great that there will be more people hired as guards, workers at facilities, etc. but that can't continue.

Representative Henry Cuellar (D-TX): “If he (Obama) is saying he’s too busy to go down to the border, but you have time to drink a beer, play pool, the optics and the appearance just mean he’s not paying attention to this humanitarian crisis.”

Watch the republicans will go along with this only they'll add $3.8 billion to the bill for some useless program or weapon they want and the taxpayer will get bent over twice.
