No politics for me since this is the automobiles forum anyway. But are you sure you can catch 2000 people with a van, 3 guys in 2 days?

It is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

Point of fact, want to stop illegal aliens.....severely punish people that employ them. By severe I mean a gross 15% yearly revenue size fine and a second offense pulls their business license for 5 years. Trust me, nobody would higher undocumented workers. Illegals don't come here to sit on a street corner, they come for money.

Sorry to bust your bubble...but, it actually works. This was only a test and it was not the whole American/Mexican border. It was only tested for approximately 28 miles at the Arizona border. As any new "development" there will be some glitches out of the box. It will not be 100%, everything cost so much to develop new "softwares" and those "black boxes" that are being used are develop by other vendor which at time will not talk to each other because they are programed with different softwares. It is hard to get a "test bed" up and running with the government telling the developers what to do all the time.

Eventhough, you will still have all this technology to "watch" the fence. There are not enough people to actually make the so called "arrest." You still need boots on the ground. If the government is actually serious about keeping people out, it will get things done. This fence is not a force field or a high voltage fence, it's mostly sensors that will tell the border guards that there are movements.

I agree with Wagner because it makes sense. That's the problem! No one uses the "KISS" method anymore.

PS: here is how to straighten out mortgage lending practices: 1) stop punishing the banks who bought the loan by telling them they can't adjust rates. 2) any bank that allows an 'appraised value' for a property to base a loan amount from, must honor that value..regardless of market..for the duration of the loan. 3) the state would make big money following step 2 as they could then adjust your land tax rate off of your latest appraised value.

With this practice a bank that told you your house was were $200,000 last year when they wrote your loan, can not value it at $150,000 when you attempt to refi this year.

moat! moat! moat! moat!

Maybe crossing a body of water (like a good chunk of our ancestors likely did) will make the spanish bull**** stop too!

You mean like that huge moat between Cuba and Florida? yeah, I don't think a moat is the answer....
