I agree with Jessica!!!! And, YES, some of the property on the border is owned by ranchers!! The ILLEGALS cut their fences, and trash their land as they cross into Arizona!!! The Minutemen group are in the process of building a fence, since our government REFUSES to help these ranchers!!!! Let's ALL send a brick to congress!!!

It's long, it doesn't have a fence it's just open terrain!  That is what the bill is supposed to correct, but for some reason criminals don't want us to build a fence because it would be harder for their criminal families to come over as well!

This question is so much fun .... thank you for asking.\n\nThe federal government refuses its responsibility to defend our borders. Most state governors refuse to take action. We get the same response from city and county leaders.\n\nAnd the suggestion is to prosecute private businesses ? \n\nDid you consider jailing government employees that give social services to illegal aliens ?  Did you consider jailing school administers or hospital official for providing services to illegal aliens ?\n\nOnce again .... Government fail to perform their duties and private businesses are prosecuted. Thanks for the good laugh.

I think a wall should be built only if/when we decide to enforce our own immigration laws otherwise it will not do any good.  It has to be in phases, you build a wall, and then what, amnesty, guest worker programs, what would be next?  Something realistic I hope because some of the solutions Ive seen on here are a little extreme and not going to happen ever, the people who suggest them while claiming to be so smart, really aren't if they think that will be allowed or even lawful.

Would create a country, but hold all the land privately and build an exclusive resort on one side and keep the other side for me.  That way it could generate money and being a country would have the law establishment that would make people feel more secure about visiting the island.  I would be the government and there would be STIFF penalties for breaking the law - especially drug charges and crimes against people or involving violence.  I also hate thieves (work for it like everyone else) so I guess I would just have to make the penalty for all crimes start at 20 years and go on up and convicts would have to serve an absolute minimum of half of their time to be eligible for parole and all criminals would be deported to their homeland.  (remember this is my island and I am the only one who lives on it everyone else just visits or works during tourist season and then goes home).

Sure, if you would like to amend the United States Constitution... What do you suggest? Whipping? Caning? How about forced amputations for certain offenses? Branding? If you think these are good ideas, I suggest there are certain other places to live in this world where you perhaps might feel more comfortable. Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Indonesia, North Korea... I don't think they have a problem with prison overcrowding, maybe you'd like it in one of those places.

I'd lock the doors... so that means shutting down the borders and not allowing travel.  It wouldn't work.  Getting smart politicians and becoming more strict is what is necessary.  Illegal aliens that have babies in the U.S -- too bad, go home with your baby in tow.

No ! Keep the Minutemen on the Canadian border. We had seventeen supposed prepetrators in Canada and you only had seven.in Florida and they don't look so guilty right now

I think someone needs an a$$ whopping. It's ridiculous. How are the minute men suppose to succeed if they are constantly being ratted out.\n\nLOL LisAnn I hear you. I think we need to put a hospital right on the Mexican side of the border. That way they can't wait at the border until the women go into labor.\n\nHow about this for an idea how about we pay them to build the border fence.???? Of course it would be supervised and they would be working on the opposite side of it.

Yes, but it would have to be on the scale of the great wall of China.  Which would then serve as a tourist attraction as well as a block to illegal immigration.  The far left dismisses this so quickly and the cost would be high; but compare the cost to al queda crossing the southern border and I think its quite reasonable.

We'd have a much better economy, and less crime! 30% of the nation's prisons are illegal aliens! And they're costing us a LOT more than they're saving us. They say "We're humans, not criminals," but HELLO? ILLEGAL alien! They're changing the national anthem, for crying out loud!

It is a place to detain AND punish. I think we need to make it the worst place you can possibly be so that people avoid law breaking so they won't go there.

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

Build a wall 100 feet high and three feet thick out of concrete and steel reinforced cinder-block w/ a 30 foot deep footing and a string of razor wire at the top along every inch of us/mexico and us/canada border...also up the border patrol as to securely guard the wall...the only way through the border would then be either through the gates or around the wall by means of the sea...I would suggest satellites to monitor the entries of illegals by seaway in conjunction w. coast guard patrols to enforce breeches in security monitored by satellite imagery..a little extreme as it were....and although I don't necessarily condone this action... it would be extremely effective as you could imagine.....

It's about time. We need something better than this wall though maybe some lions from Africa to catch the illegals that might make it across somehow.
