Say, let's build a wall on the border - it'll so work!

[devilgrrl]

And it's so worth it - I feel safer already! :sarcasm:

Can you believe the senate passed this shit?

I assume that Halliburton will be building it?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

1. I think they know they're going down.

So they're trying to get as much bullshit passed as possible by november.

[MercutioATC]

2. Exactly...a wall will never work.

We need a moat.

[devilgrrl]

5. We already have one...

it's called the Rio Grande.

[MercutioATC]

11. Damn. Guess a moat won't work, either...

[blondeatlast]

6. Observe the Rio Grande sometime--a moat ain't gonna work either. nt

[Esra Star]

15. Here inOz, we have a moat....

But that doesn't work either.
Even the Kiwis find their way across. I think Sydney is the second
largest city of New Zealand.
The only to "solve" the "problem" is move the US to Mars.

[Kutjara]

20. Yeah, and Britain is 12,000 miles from Australia...

...but that doesn't stop half of Melbourne from living in London. ;)

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. Around the pig farm with ** behind it. Contain him. Fill it with 7.5#

perch and ** won't bother us anymore. :rofl:

[MercutioATC]

21. Now THAT'S an immigration policy I would support!

:toast:

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Let's start digging, I bet we could enlist lots help.

:evilgrin:

[MercutioATC]

26. I have a shovel...

:)

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. So do I. And plenty of time on my hands for such a worthy cause.

:evilgrin:

3. The entire Senate needs to spend an hour observing the POEs

in Nogales, Tijuana, El Paso, etc, as I have simply as a tourist.

I saw a man try to squeeze through the bars of the revolving gate--it was horrifying until another pulled him away.

If people are that damn desperate (and I saw dozens make it across the POE ILLEGALLY), no wall is gonna stop them.

[Daphne08]

10. The only thing that will stop this is better economic conditions

in their own countries.

[blondeatlast]

12. Exactly. nt

[Sydnie]

4. They have fogotten that they worshipped at Ronnies feet

for asking that a wall be torn down. Short term memory is nonexisitant over on that side of the aisle, I think.

[Jade Fox]

7. Fourteenth Century solution to a 21st century problem...

1) For starters, it will cost a zillion bucks and take forever to build.
2) Tunnels
3) Human ingenuity/desperation

The really sad thing about this is what it says about the state of US leadership/diplomacy that all they can come up with is a physical barrier.

Our Country is being controlled by the stupidest people in it.

[Booster]

8. A wall is stupid and a total waste of money (lots of money). They

build tunnels big enough to drive a truck through so no damn stupid wall is going to stop them. EVERYBODY in Wash DC needs to get a grip on reality.

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. The post 9/11 trauma and bullshit are still affecting those nit wits.

Do they feel so guilty about letting 9/11 happen that they feel the need to continually overcompensate forever? The biggest after the fact barn door closure in world history continues.

[blondeatlast]

13. Not to mention that the first al-Qaedans to blow up the WTC

crossed illegally ocver a formidable mountainous area in Canada--but damn--how can we build a wall with our Northern friends?

:mad:

[The_Casual_Observer]

17. There is a basic american fear of mountains apparently.

Osama seems to know how to exploit it.

[devilgrrl]

19. We must do our best to stop those evil Canucks...

importing all that beer, maple syrup and Canadian bacon. They're driving down the value of US hockey players! Please stop the evil canadians.

:silly:

[blondeatlast]

23. Not to mention Alan Thicke... nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. This is a stupid, awful idea.

First, there are two sides to a wall; it can keep people in as well as keep them out. And don't you just love the idea of a wall topped with razor wire as the new symbol of America? Oh yeah, and if we need a wall for security against the terr'ists instead of just a way of keeping them Mes'kins out, why aren't we building a wall along the Canadian border, too?

[Avalux]

18. But only in some places....not everywhere!

A wall will work here and there, but not over there - see?

:crazy:

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

22. At least the Great Wall of China is attractive. Tho' just as useless.

[BlackVelvet04]

24. Anybody heard of a "wash"?

A wash is a very large ditch which carries off water in the desert. You can't build a wall in a wash and washes are where many illegals travel.

[kineneb]

28. technical term for the SW desert is arroyo

dry most of the year, but damn, watch out if it rains, all hell will break loose and anything the bed will be washed out...Humpty Dumpty's wall wouldn't last long...
