Bid to seal off US-Mexico border

[emad]

A senior US Republican is pushing for the construction of a 2,000-mile (3,200km) fence along the entire length of the US-Mexico border.
Duncan Hunter, who chairs the Armed Services Committee in the House of Representatives, hopes to win enough support to pass a bill in Congress.

Critics of his bill say many immigrants enter the US legally but simply remain in the country when their visas expire.

More than 1m Mexicans are stopped from entering the US each year to seek work.

Mr Hunter's plan for the fence envisages a dual-layer construction equipped with electric sensors stretching from the Pacific Ocean across to the Gulf of Mexico.

1. Proof that you eventually become what you hate.

We are becoming a mixture of Stalin's Russia and Hitler's Germany.

2. Interesting!! Do they propose the same thing for our northern...

border? Is it just Mexicans they want to keep out. Sure sounds like it to me.

7. Tis easy to tell mexicans from the white elite. Much harder when they

look like you, as the Canadians do.

3. can someone say....NAFTA......

Like I always said you want to stop illegal immigration? start slappin down RICO charges on the Republican businessmen who hire illegals at two bucks an hour to clean their offices and their homes so their wives get to spend all day at the beauty parlor.

What's more boycott your grocery store NEVER eat fruits or veggies unless you grow them because chances are an illegal's hands have touched them.

4. Maybe we can get the east germans to help. nt

5. How about a wall?

A big wall.

A very big wall.

A GREAT wall.

We could use it to keep the Mongols out. I mean, the Mexicans.

And then, when President-for-Life George W. Bush dies, we could sacrifice his entire cabinet so they can accompany him in the Afterlife.

Please, please, tell me I'm just undermedicated.

Palestinians from the West Bank....
