Nice to hear from such a good friend.

I think instead of building a fence, we should spend the money on enforcing the laws against hiring illegals. Thake away their reason for coming here illegally and give them an incentive for coming here legally.

Raise the minimum wage. Hire whatever INS people are necessary, I don't know how many it will take. Increase the quotas. Speed up the process.

A fence is like a iron curtain. Not a symbol of freedom, justice and the American way. They will find away around, over, under or through it.

Remember the coyotes get a good chunk of change for their services. As long as the laws are not being enforced there will be an incentive for them to smuggle people in.

I see you are already whining about the title of this thread so no doubt you will be whining about my answer, accusing me of not answering your questions and refusing to answer mine.

However that doesn't bother me a bit. It is sort of an homage to me and I like it.

Noe here is a question for you just in case you decide to answer one for a change:

Do you think the fence will cost less than what it will cost to inforce the existing laws plus whatever will be spent in admitting the 12 to 20 million illegals according to the present laws?
