Wouldn't things be better if just built a wall around Washington DC?

If you meant a wall to keep the politicos all contained--that would be fabulous and then we could prevent them from coming into the states and causing all kinds of problems.  If they want immigration reform and to build a wall, then yeah, let's build the wall around DC.

I really don't have an answer to your question, but I think we could go along way toward world peace by disbanding the military and just building a purely defensive force. We could protect our borders better if we concentrated our resources on protection of our own country. Things like happened on 9/11 would not be able to happen. I also think that the money saved would be better spent on the American people in need. Health care being one of my biggest issues. That being said there are to many greedy repuglicans in this country to ever happen, but it is my dream world.

A wall would be fine with me....if things keep going and nothing gets done I predict there will be violence in the next couple of years,oh wait there has been violence,illegals raping and murdering our citizens,people seem to forget,like what happened to that little girl in FL at the hands of an illegal mexican.Its just a matter of time before people start to turn violent on illegals

Yes it would help and probably have more in the future, takes time for thing like that to happen. Good question.

Good idea, I think it is a time for a march on Washington. Congress seems to be getting weak on what they started. Letters and e-mail you congressmen and senators and let them know how you feel.

I think a big wall isn't going to stop someone who is welling to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to cross it. Tunnels are common on the border. There are also things called latters and with the right tools anyone with a little know how can cut break etc. an opening for a person to slide through.The WALL is Just a psychological barrier and jester from some "smart" politician trying to save his cozy little seat in the house or senate. The incentive to come to us isn't to "crusar el rio" crusar la frontera.It's the jobs,the almighty dollar. Yeah and I'm sure some greedy government contractor would love to pay undocumented workers to build a wall out in the f....ing desert for 6 bucks an hour screw the government for 16 an hour. Lets see what our politicians come up with next. This is the reason everyone able to vote should get involved and not just lay blame on politicians. We elect them if we vote. Guess who doesn't have that right? non citizens.

get spending back under control, clean up shady lobbying in DC, put together a true military plan that solves the problem rather than making it worse. they'd have the national guard at home and not in iraq so they could deal with katrina issues and/or temporarily help out on the border. all in all there's alot different, and more effective, that dems would do when they take charge. and btw, they'd educate the future workforce, our children.

The world would be a better/happier place if they did wouldn't it?  LOL!

Independently speaking I imagine it reinforces freedom from reality.\nConvenient, huh? When a serious border wall is needed, the deficit is astronomical and heading for cosmic, things in the Middle East look bleak and it's November Seventh.\nWhere are my Rolaids?

The Earth, this country included, was, is, and will be based on the migration of people.  I think that it is rediculous to keep people from moving about the planet. And I think it is rediculous to build a wall to keep people off of land that, though you think belongs to you, does not belong to you.\n\nNo - a wall should not be built along the US/Mexico border.

No.  Too much money to build something ridiculous like that, and the people of this country should have access to their government and their government leaders.  once you start putting our leaders even *more* into an Ivory Tower, they'll care even less what goes on with the 'little people'.

The chances are pretty good. Despite what "duds" and "info morons" like reyi think Iraq is less dangerous than Afghanistan and many US cities. Your odds of being killed in Washington DC, the nations capital, are far greater than they are in Iraq. Of course if safety is your concern, don't do anything.

They should build the wall alone the same lines as the Great Wall of China.\nStaff it with the battle hardened troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan for support of the Border Patrol.\nOh yeah, sorry could not think of one reason not to build it.\n.

You have a great idea!\nBut then we would not be able to build a bridge to know where for around the cost of a Billion Dollars.\nWe would also have to cut aide to Israel from 4 Billion to like 2 Billion. That would not be fair.\nThen Israel would start nagging on the US more and get us involved in more use less wars where we would spend Trillions of Dollars

What do you mean "reasons for both sides"?  What reason could there be for Mexico to not want a wall on the border?  No legitimate reason that's for sure!  A wall  manned by the US military would solve the problem.  \n\nFirst, it would bring our troops home from the middle east and let them do something to help our own country rather than the futile attempt to change the beliefs of a bunch of fanatics.\n\nSecond, it would keep most of the free loading, non tax paying illegal aliens out of our country.\n\nHell, what's not to love about having a wall built.  I would be glad to send my tax dollars to the border patrol to build one rather than have it go to non-english speaking mexicans, who came to our country illegally, on welfare.

No there is no mistake at all.... especially since the politicians have others reasons for building it.... like appeasing racist America ........ Who cares build the fence. The American public has clamored that they wish for this atrocity to be built. Then once all those billions of dollars are sunk into the building of this shameful wall......there will be no money for mass deportations...You see this is why the government is building this wall... We all know that it will not serve the purpose for which it is built....They didn't even build a levy that could protect New Orleans..... the illegals crossing are just as unpredictable.....Build the fence so they will be able to say later well we don't have the money now for deportations.......Also you will see discounts on ladders on the other side of the border. You just need a ladder to safely scale the wall without a scratch.
