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.

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.

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.”

Department of Homeland Security officials are stonewalling lawmakers who try to make unannounced visits to immigrant detention facilities throughout the country and are closing off public roads along the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to keep journalists from reporting on the growing illegal immigration crisis, federal law enforcement officials told TheBlaze.
