The U.S. has passed legislation to build the fence at the Mexican border at a cost of billions of taxpayer dollars.. Two rows of 20ft fence (12ft above ground, 8ft below), separated by 30ft to allow a 'Border Patrol Only' road in between topped with razor wire on each row. Sounds nice but, if I were Commander in Chief, I could save those billions of taxpayer dollars and all that hard work by posting these signs all over the bank of the Rio Grande:     If the signs alone didn't work, I'd make sure that the signs read truthfully. The Rio has plenty of fish. Is warm all year round and has swampy areas, too. I think it could work. I'd also import Piranha if I had too. |

Thanks, glitch. I think of the simple, easy and cheap way to take care of problems. The U.S. needs a leader who's lived on Macaroni and Cheese at one point in his life. Not someone who's been fed with a silver spoon since birth. So far, there's only one Senator that I know of who can run a tractor (I suddenly forget his name, though). Hell, Daschle doesn't even know which side his heart is on...lol  |

Put that green face on the ballet next to Hilary Clinton's name.
I agree. The tax payers are always saying they are over taxed and where does out money go and everything else?
Building fences wouldn't keep the real riffraff out anyway.

True, dannyboy.
I could pull my dykes out of my toolbox and be through the fence in a matter of minutes - if that.
Try outswimming a 'gator, though!

 I think that was the term for cutting pliers before it was a slang term for anything else. Like Richard's nickname was not always a term for an appendage. |

Yes because killing anyone who crosses the border would be perfect!
A. it would solve our illegal immigrant problem
B. it would provide a food source for our public schools!

Blastgirl's right on the ball with the cutting pliers.
12 years in the auto repair field tends to ingrain certain names w/o relevence to 'street slang'.

Spartan:
You forgot about maintainence of the .50cal, time spent training and posting a soldier, rounds wasted on 'missed targets' and what-not.
A gator, you buy (and/or relocate) once and there it is.
It lives there all the time, for no salary, and takes care of itself.
It has 'recyclable' ammunition - simply takes another snap.
Besides, I think just the thought of the gators would be more of a deterrant than some kid with a spud gun. (though a very awesome one)

One interesting fact about the wall is that part of it is inside MEXICAN territory. So Mexico have some rights in doing what ever they want to with the wall in certain parts of the border.  |

It doesn't seem to be working very well around here, though.
And then, there's a chance that the gators would overpopulate and destroy the ecosystem of the Rio Grande.
The Mexicans could also just eat them.

Imagine you're a mexican, camping for the night before you illegally cross the border to illegally live in the U.S., illegally delightful in your illegal home, rented through illegal means as you illegally not pay taxes on your illegal income and illegally break laws that you don't care about.. [illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal illegal] *trying to break record for most 'illegals' in a sentence* . You've just caught and cooked up a 'gator for dinner. As you snack along, a Gator jumps out of the bushes and gets you. The ultimate irony: You eating gator. Another gator eats you. In a sense...that's kind of like cannibalism for the gator. Although, nothing new. |

"Alligators are generally timid towards humans and tend to walk or swim away if one approaches. "
Unless the gators harbor some bizarre prejudice towards Mexico, the gators would only act as a brief deterrent, before the Mexicans realize the alligators pose no threat and easily cross the river.
