Border Security Poll...

Why do you think the US borders are still open for illegal immigrants?

  • The government wouldn't ever be able to, there would still be ways through, so why bother.

    Votes: 3 14.3%

  • It would be too expensive to build any safe fence or "virtual fence" for that matter. It isn't worth

    Votes: 1 4.8%

  • A combination of one and two.

    Votes: 12 57.1%

  • The Gov't WILL secure them, but it takes time.

    Votes: 2 9.5%

  • The CT way. NAU, neo-cons, NWO and whatnot.

    Votes: 3 14.3%
  • Total voters

Sorry about that other one, I wasn't goint to post it, I thought i'd leave it to do it on friday. In fact I didn't post it, I only went halfway through. But it seems the forum posts it regardless.

Ok there you go.
 
I want an "I think their shouldn't be any borders in the entire world" option.
 
It might be possible in theory to build a high wall with watchtowers and armed guards all around the continental US, but would you want to live there?
You could have Police stopping everyone who looked a bit Latino and asking to see their papers in every town in America, would that solve your problem?
 
I am sure the answer as to why the government hasnt spent billions of dollars to build a super max type fence around the entire country is a vast conspiracy involving the NWO, all major law enforcement, the entire federal government, the JOOOOOOS, and those really rich bankers from Europe that are behind everything oh yes and Paris Hilton.
 
Because the webiste is PrisonPlanet, not PrisonUnitedStates.

When they start building walls in orbit, I'll get worried.
 
My choice doesn't seem to be there:

We're surrounded by the [rule8]ing sea and we still get illegal immigration, so what [rule8]ing use is your [rule8]ing fence?

There's no "I'm from outside the USA and could give a [rule8] about your stinkin' fence" option.

I was going to say the same thing.

Odd that those two things, the most sensible and obvious explanations, never even entered into Yurebiz's mind. Or maybe not.
 
I believe the United States could secure its border with Mexico with a lot less fuss than most people wish to admit. Fences and cameras with infrared technology work pretty well. I'm a person who identifies himself as a non-conspiracy thinking person -- but the number of people who say fences and extra immigration officials are useless in the battle to keep people out almost qualify as a conspiracy. Their political reasons for lieing are apparent enough to qualify them as transpanent people throwing ******** as opposed to being a part of a conspiracy.

If people started coming through the forest between us and Canada we would be more challenged than stopping people coming across a desert. We can stop the desert crossers in a few months for much less money than politicians state. Stopping forest crossers would be much more expensive. Fortunately the forest crossers aren't the problem at the moment.
 
The other poll was better.


I look forward to a long contiguous wall with guards and barbed wire and dogs, so that a Chinese politician in 2013 can stand on the other side and say, "Mr. Obama, please to tear down this wall, okay?"

It's not necessary or desirious for a contiguous barbed wire wall. I suspect only about 15% of the boarder will need a wall. Certainly less than 5% will need two high razor wire fences. Technology makes that unnecessary. Only at places hundreds of people who would just run together to overwhelm our security would require a wall.

The reference to a state who is keeping their citizens from leaving with a wall is not a metaphor for a state who doubles the total amount of immigrants they allow compared to the entire world but now finds in necessary to give them some paperwork as the come across.

I think monitoring who comes into this country is a reasonable expectation we should have of our government.

Hey, look, Canada is already unhappy enough with the current restrictions on the U.S.-Canada border. There are still some misguided folks in the U.S. who think most or all of the 9/11 highjackers crossed into the U.S. from Canada. So let's not even joke about illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. from the north, okay? ;)
 
It times like this I love living on an island with 2,000km of cold stormy ocean between us and the nearest neighbours.
