Title: Its a start!!
Post by Jonny on May 9^th, 2006, 9:48pm

"On the south side facing Mexico, a 6-foot deep trench will keep vehicles from crashing through the fencing. Behind that, coiled and razor-edged barbed wire will be placed in front of a 15-foot high heavy-gauge steel mesh fence angled outward at the top to make climbing more difficult. The other fence will be built behind that on the other side of the road."

Just another hurdle for the Mexicans to cross. As if they won't figure out a way around it, under it, over it, etc... :o

But it's a start and maybe eventually DC will get the idea....

Of course only 70% of Americans feel this way ...

I'm waiting for some greedy lawyer to sue on behalf of the illegals that it their right to come here. Hey, compensation for "lost" wages. [smiley=laugh.gif] Perhaps Rep. Conyers can pass legislation to seek reparations for the illegals. ;;D [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif] [smiley=laugh.gif]

There IS a fence/wall/border there already...

it's SUPPOSED to be impenetrable.

Let's make it that way and stop new incursions completely.

Then we can figure out what to do with the ones here already.

This may seem rather amusing, but I once saw on Mythbusters where they tried to debunk a myth that Mexicans were catapulting themselves into the US by using this Gi-normous slingshot.

Ok, just did a search on the Discovery Channel website and here's what I came up with...

Episode 35: Border Slingshot
Is it feasible to fly over the frontier? In this episode, Adam and Jamie take on the myth that illegal immigrants are firing themselves 200 yards across the border and into the United States with a slingshot so accurate, it can land the human projectiles safely on a carefully placed mattress. Border patrols are reportedly baffled — can the MythBusters' handbuilt human-sized slingshot solve the puzzle?
premiere: July 27, 2005

I copied and pasted that directly from their website. Doesn't say if they busted that myth or not and I can't exactly remember. I just remember watching and thinking "You've got to be kidding me?". I think they actually made it work though.

50 Caliber machine guns, land mines and F18s would solve the problem. Most likely at less expense than we now absorb. I just can't get in to killing people. ::)

.50 cal rounds only cost $1.50 each, go with .308, far more cost effective at $.35 and just as accurate.

I hear on a few radio talk stations that the Prez will announce 5-10K national gaurd troops to the border in the Monday night speech.

Anyone else hear that?

Thanks Matt,

WTF is this?

"Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California said in Sacramento that using Guard troops was "not the right way to go," in part because many were just returning from Iraq."

I would think that our dudes would love to be standing on our soil protecting it.
