  • anarcurt, on 07/06/2008, -6/+11Ah Ha! Just like East Germany. Build a wall, say its to keep the evil ones out but soon it is realized it is to keep the people in!
  • DreadPirate, on 07/07/2008, -0/+5*rolls eyes* Too bad there is *no* real wall along most of the southern border. Did that minor little fact escape you, or are you just naturally a dumbass?
  • deathweaver108, on 07/05/2008, -3/+8Well I'm seriously thinking of Europe
  • exgop, on 07/06/2008, -1/+4Maybe Americans can breath a little easier. More American die each day at the hands of Illegals than soldiers die in Iraq.
  • BillE3, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3The criminal element from south of the border will not be leaving. Drug, and gun dealing is far more lucrative here and safer for them. The drug cartels will continue to send their employees north.

  • edstate, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2You are so right that the drug issue is inexorably linked with the Mexican immigration issue. However, that doesn't mean we should go ahead w/ better border security, and increased workplace enforcement. In fact, it means we should do more of that faster. Because the sooner we weed the illegal workers out, the better we can deal w/ the drug dealers.

    Or, we could just legalize drugs and be done with it immediately?
  • Dralha, on 07/05/2008, -9/+10"Undocumented immigrants?" Umm...no. They're "criminal aliens." And good ***** riddance to each and every one of them.
