Next year ... another 8.8B AND those agents have to be in harms way on some sand dune with every person that crosses, running a risk if a decision has to be made in 0.1 seconds and if that decision is questionable, the agents might go to prison. Every year the expenses will grow with bene's and pensions. Tell me we have smarter politicians than this.
All this expense, exposure and risk can be cut by 80 - 90% ..... IF THE DOUBLE WALL WITH SURVEILANCE (a one time cost) IS DONE! Only points of entry have to manned heavily.
Fewer agents, officials, risks, litigation etc. What am I missing? Keeping in mind I DO NOT CARE if I offend someone from another country but I DO CARE for the security of my country.
Unfortunately, the fence, good as it will be, is only part of the defense. Lots of aliens are entering by boat, sailing around the border in the Gulf of Mexico (into all the Gulf states), and in the Pacific into California. Others enter by plane.
There's a lot to do.
Why Illegal Immigration is a Threat to the United States...
And How Local Communities are Fighting Back
By Tom DeWeese
Saturday, September 22, 2007
Canadian Free Press
......"Most Americans understand that new laws are not needed to stop illegal immigration. What is necessary is repeal of some laws granting taxpayer-financed services to illegals along with enforcement of existing laws. These two acts would be enough to stop the migration. In simple fact, they are called "illegal" because they are breaking the law.
In truth, the battle over the Senate's guest worker-amnesty plan is really a battle over attempts to open the border as called for in programs such as North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). Both plans call for open borders and economic integration of North America. Open borders are required to fully implement the plans.
The Bush Administration and those promoting illegal immigration were frankly stunned at the force and determination of U.S. citizens to reject the Senates immigration plan. Proponents played a very heavy hand in attempting to force the scheme on a resisting citizenry. Such powerful forces are not used to losing. Today they continue to seek new ways to work around the opposition and pass the legislation, as a whole or incrementally.
However, the anti-illegal fervor refuses to abate and in fact, dramatic new developments are taking place in local communities across the nation that may well stop the unpopular Federal schemes.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to weaken the resolve of opponents, they are called fringe fanatics. A common tactic employed by immigration proponents is to accuse opponents of racism. They charge that opponents want to deny a new breed of immigrant the chance to become Americans as many of our immigrant forefathers did. They paint a Norman Rockwell-type picture of honest, hard working immigrants, planting gardens, working in fields, doing the work "no Americans want to do."
So, in town after town across the nation the battle rages. And that is really the point. Illegal immigration is not just a border issue. It is a national issue affecting every large city and almost every small town. It must be understood that illegal immigration is not just a matter of some unhappy peasants hoping to seek a better life. It is a $300 billion a year industry, combining the interests of multinational corporations with those of drug cartels and Latino street gangs. Caught in between are American communities and the American way of life. Some cities, especially those along the points of entry at the border have become dangerous no-mans lands, where no property is safe, no American citizen is able to leave their home unarmed and some politicians turn a blind eye as they profit under the table. As a result American civilization is beginning to break down. That is why so many Americans refuse to back down on the issue, continuing to demand a crack down, no matter what name calling they must endure."
