How the hell do we be build a jungle on the US - Canadian border, let alone the near-desert (in some areas) US - Mexico border?
And besides, don't animals with rabies die after a short while, from the rabies? I sense an impending decline in the koala population…
For that matter, where do we get a T1000?
The moat with shark-mounted lasers might be possible, but it would still take a hell of a lot of water, and I understand they may have this water shortage issue in the southwest.
Still though, if we had all that, the auto citizenship plus trophy might be in order. :mrgreen:
So, I was perusing one of the recent threads on Immigration, and these questions occurred to me:
Can a case be made for construction of walls/fences/barriers on some or all of the land borders (and perhaps some sea borders? Dunno how that would work...) of the US?
If you support such, why?
If you oppose such, Why?
And, whether you support or oppose such, are there variables involved that might convince you to switch?
And other questions in that vein.
It will be an epic failure/distraction and a waste of our money.
An unseen problem is the wall/fence will be built under the premise of keeping people out but, in reality it will be keeping us in.
We need real immigration reform, like making it easier for peaceful people to enter the country legally and eliminating the welfare state for illegal immigrants.
If that were the case, only attractive females would be able to enter on my watch. :mrgreen:I vote yea, because our country should not simply be wide open for whoever to walk-in at will. I believe that the borders need to be secure and only desirable immigrants allowed into the nation.
****, more water? Besides, I don't think it's that easy.Seeds + water = jungle.
Is that even possible?Design a non killing version of rabies, trust me it's a great idea.
Actually, we probably would need an alternate reality / time machine, since I think that was a character in a movie, and thus does not and never has existed in this reality.Time machine.
Hmm. Somehow, that sounds a tad too simple.We can use a water pump.
I'll get back to you on that.Don't stop believing. :2razz:
@ Aunt Spiker
America’s infrastructure could surely use it.

Fugly.
Does anyone here live on the border? How would you like to have your view of the Rio Grand turn into a blight?
Most of the airplanes that I've seen will go over all of the walls that I've ever seen. Even the really ugly ones.
I think it would depend, at least in part, on the specifics of the barrier in question.Nay. There are a lot of much better ways to keep illegals out of the country. Building a wall or fence would just be a waste of money.
Yes, I support it.
I primarily support it on the southern border. Over 80% of our illegal immigrants hail from lands south of our border, not north. The countries in economic problems to the point that many of their citizens try to illegally immigrate are to the south, not to the north. You spend a good bit of savings to fix a toilet that's flooding your house and causing massive damage to the structure. You don't spend a good bit of savings to fix an occasionally drippy faucet that adds $.79 to your monthly water bill.
You begin it in conjunction with heavier enforcement of immigration laws and deportations, and once its part way through you start dealing with the notion of reformed immigration laws and what to do with those inside our country.
I would be fully in favor of figuring out a plan to allow illegals without other crimes to come forward and admit their illegality, go on a seeming "probation" type status, and work on the wall for a reduced salary and amnesty for their crime and potentially for IMMEDIATELY Family. I'd be in favored of forced labor working on the wall for those that are CAUGHT here illegally, with them serving their sentence doing hard labor building it. (I have a more detailed plan on this elsewhere).
I would be in favor of likely a two wall solution, with space in between and slanted at the top of each to make climbing the direction to the U.S. more difficult.
I don't think a wall is THE answer, or the only answer, but I do think it would help.
