Talking at work today to a couple of people that have family close to the border(5-8 miles). Only thing they have heard about are hearing explosions and gun fire, the other guy said he was told some of the kids(Teenagers I guess) from our side are going across into Mexico to be recruited by the drug cartels.

True but then again the Govt did post signs saying to keep out nothing good going on in there.

I could support that if it was not populated with hate groups and if they engage with out first being fired upon they will defeat the purpose and become the bad guys even if it was drug smugglers they shot, they have feelings too.

So how about the people of those county's join together and form their own "Paramilitary" squads and patrol and engage these smugglers. I am sure there are many vet's in this country that would be more then happy to volunteer some of their time. I am sure then the Govt would deploy troops to stop the Americans from doing anything.

Many of them work strictly for cash and don't pay income tax. Back when we had non-citizen lawn workers, one of them told my wife that he made something like $30K a year and his wife made about the same cleaning houses -- strictly cash, no tax, so their take-home was nearly the same as mine.

The situation is likely similar for day laborers. If a company is dishonest enough to hire people "off the books", and there are certainly some that do, that's another bunch of $$$ that isn't subject to income tax.

I'll admit they do pay sales tax.

I worked(past) for a big name company that farmed out most of the work to 3PL (3rd party labor) in other words temp agencies well those 3pl's did a very poor job of insuring the people they employed were legal. They pretty much accepted documents as long as they appear correct, for about $150 an illegal could get fake docs. These were the ones I was refering to, but you also made a very valid point about the cash side of it.

Maybe most of them are in Iraq and Afghanistan and the threats coming across the US borders are not considered of sufficient importance to bring some of them back home?

Another camera in the air or otherwise wil not do anything but take pictures, unless we arm it with some .50 cals or rocket launchers then maybe it will do some good.

This sign must be fake, the grammar and spelling is to good to come from an illegal( I mean undocumented guest worker).

No NO NO I am talking about the homes the UN throws up in poor countries. It is a small one room hut basically. I agree no U.N. Troops in US.

It's amazing that the ancient Chinese Can build a wall 3000 miles long, a couple stories high, and wide enough to drive a car on and here the "Great America" can't or won't.

the ancient Chinese wouldn't meet OSHA or EPA standards.... then there's the labor union thing, permits, zoning regulations, Bureau of Indian Affairs studies, more permits, more studies.....

ever wonder how we built the "Big Inch Pipeline" during WWII?

surv

If we were to place 1 person every yard along our 2000 mile southern border it would require about 10.5 million people (3 shifts / 8 hours)Provide each with a U.N. home built side by side and 3 meals a day. I''l bet you can find enough Chinese that will be more then happy to stay there and guard our border better then our current money hole system and they will never ask for a hand out. Ya I know it has holes but it would work.
