    Slyspy said it right: Fences are borderline useless except providing jobs for the poor Mexicans. I'd support it if they're gonna be making a marble wall with frescos and mosaics and sculptures and all that jazz though. May be a put on a slight experimental touch on the art nouveau style and cha-ching, culturally significant 1000 miles structure, with mass lefty support from the artiste & academia camp!

    Nice idea making the wall a cultural thing Antiochus, but it won't happen. We know American politicians have already lost all their marble.

    Well if they were going to do it Reasonably, they'd Put in two fences, One Fence on the Border, Heavily Land Mine behind the First Fence, and then say 5km north of the first fence build another fence. If they make it through, Congrats! If Not... well... But, I don't support the idea of the fence anyways, I say any Americans with common sense would just annex Mexico and be done with the trivial Immigration fiasco altogether.

    The zimmerman note and Pancho Villa were our last legitimate opportunities to invade Mexico. Perhaps if it wasn't for the whole slave state or not issue we might have taken more of Mexico (Veracruz?) in 1848.

    Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    We just need Wallker, Texas Ranger on the job. He'd just Chuck all illegal immigrants back over the border.

    My apologies if this (roundhouse) kicks off a flurry of Chuck Norris jokes.

    Well, he is Chuck Norris. He can only handle a maximum of 4-5 sombreros at a time.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
