You can build a 12 foot wall around the entire United States and it would take less than a minute for someone to figure out they need a 13 foot ladder.Originally posted by Trajan Octavian Titus
Should we build a wall across the Mexican border? Frankly I don't see any drawbacks to this proposition. Hay we can even have the illegals build it for us.

More proof that the United States is a prison colony.Originally Posted by Trajan Octavian Titus
not if you have barbed wire on top of it with guard stations around it every 1/2 mile; furthermore, tell that to the Berliners and the Mongolians.

Do you know what the inscription says under the Statue of Liberty?
I could see Gunny saying something like this.Originally Posted by Trajan Octavian Titus
Flip it over because I'm pretty sure on the back it says: "but for Christ's sakes don't let people in who want to blow up this statue.
Kandahar said:A city wall is slightly different than a 2,000 mile long wall on the Mexican border. And as for the Great Wall of China, it was ridiculously expensive for the net military benefit.
cherokee said:Wont work they would just go under it.
And besides 2k miles long?...:lol:
Trajan Octavian Titus said:but it worked;
Trajan Octavian Titus said:furthermore, if we hired illegal immigrants to build it it would be pretty cheap, :lol: also, this isn't a problem comparable to the China situation you can't do a cost-benefit analysis comparing a pre-industrialized nation to the United States.
Kandahar said:For a ridiculous amount of money, yes. I'm sure someone could engineer a satellite to scratch my ass with a laser beam from space too.
China used slave labor to build theirs, and it still costed a ridiculous amount. We wouldn't even have that luxury.
Just how much do you think it would cost the taxpayers for this wall?
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Flip it over because I'm pretty sure on the back it says: "but for Christ's sakes don't let people in who want to blow up this statue."
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Not as much as the net loss that the tax payers get from the lowering of wages due to illegal workers.
Kandahar said:Oh I didn't realize the Islamists had gained a foothold in the madrasses of Mexico. :doh
Should I assume that you want a 5,500 mile wall along the Canadian border too, to keep terrorists out?
Kandahar said:And you're basing that on what?
Let's not forget about the gains that the taxpayers get from cheaper products and more jobs.
If we didn't have any minimum wage laws there wouldn't be any incentive for employers to hire illegal immigrants over American citizens. Why take the risk of getting in trouble with the law when you can pay both the same wage?
Trajan Octavian Titus said:No but the Islamists can easily get into the country through the southern boarder.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:I'm not saying to put an end to immigrant workers altogether what I'm saying is build the wall so we can institute a guest worker program that will actually work.
Kandahar said:But crossing the border in Montana is out of the question, right?
So your saying snow-backs are not as big a problem as wet-backs?Originally Posted by Trajan Octavian Titus
No but the Canadian boarder problem isn't anywhere near as bad as the one in Mexico.
Kandahar said:Want to reduce illegal immigration? End the minimum wage. Simple as that. It would help the American economy and wouldn't cost the taxpayers an arm and a leg, unlike this wall.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:No but the Canadian boarder problem isn't anywhere near as bad as the one in Mexico.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:I don't really understand your reasoning, this is how it works the illegal immigrants come in here and they are willing to work for far less money, regardless if it is above or below the minimum wage, than American workers on the same job and the fact that there are so many illegal workers is what drives down the average wage, how would ending the minimum wage help to solve this? Are you saying that we should simply pay American workers less money?
