Why cant the fat and lazy American realize that the border has fallen between the U.S. and Mexico ?

Probably for the same reason we skinny and hardworking Americans don't, it hasn't fallen, it's just been neglected...but that's about to end!

You're wasting your time mate. People, especially AMERICANS like to have their little 'moral panics' (whipped up by the right wing media and the government) it takes their tiny minds away from all the REAL problems, i.e:\n\ntrillions of pounds (oops DOLLARS) in debt, \na crap economy, \na nutter in charge \nthe rest of the world hating you. \n\nNo matter what figure you come up with they'll shout 'liberal lies'. The bottom line is people like a legitimate target for their hatred and right now Mexican immigrants fit the bill. And as for all this 'i only have a problem with illegals' THAT has to be the biggest pile of crap that ive ever read on here and that's saying something!!

Makes NO sense does it??!! The mexican border is one of the most DANGEROUS places around, what with drug smugglers sneaking across!!! There has been OVER two hundred incursions into the U.S.,by the mexican army,just THIS year!!! THEN,you have all the murderers,rapists,child molesters, and gang members SNEAKING across!!! The border patrol gets shot at all the time!! It is SUICIDE to not have weapons to defend yourself, when you are stationed on the border!!!!

Well the US does look weak and stupid because that is the reality.\nMost people warned against this illegal war and now the US is realising they were right but it's too late for all the dead people.\nRumsfelds run off to hide himself

I have gone to Mexico before, unlike amy of the people here who comment on it ignorantly. \n\nOn the  beach in Tijuana, a corrugated border wall that extends about 100 feet into the ocean divides the U.S. from Mexico. The wall divides two different worlds.\n\nOn the Tijuana side, the barrier is covered by a memorial to those who died trying to cross into the U.S. While we were on the beach during a recent visit, small children ran up to us begging for food.\n\nThat same day, an injured seal washed up on shore on the U.S. side. San Diego’s Sea World immediately sent a rescue crew in a Land Rover. Aquarium employees assured us that the seal would be transported safely to Sea World, where it would be fed and its injuries tended to.\n\nThe contrast with the future that faces human beings on the other side of the wall couldn’t be more obvious. More than half of Mexico’s population lives at or below the official poverty line. Many survive on less than 1,200 calories a day--half of what’s considered necessary to remain healthy. \n\nOf course, this isn’t because there’s not enough food. The real source of the poverty is an economic system that depends on competition between Mexican and American workers.\n\nThat’s why the U.S. has turned its border with Mexico into a militarized zone--with Border Patrol agents armed with the latest weapons. Since 1994, the US administration has poured money into border enforcement. The effect has been to make crossing into the U.S. more dangerous than ever--leading to increased deaths among Mexicans whose only "crime" was to want a better life.\n\nWe Americans, rolling in our over-abundance of money, food, and basically anything we want we can get attitude should be ashamed to not welcome these people in. \n\nThere is no "immigrant crisis" at all. It is a myth.  It is a political move aimed at US citizens anger and predjudice, aimed to rile up people and direct thier discontent over the quagmire in Iraq and the Katrina neglect, and the corporate fleecing of our economy...  It works, poor people are easy scapegoats, all of the people who buy into this nonsense about a "crisis" should hang thier heads in shame.  Especially the ones who support these neo-nazi hategroups like the MinuteKlan.

They are morally culpable for shoving aside those who adhere to the law and enter these United States in orderly and Legal Fashion. Since when do criminals and cheaters receive pride of place for the blessings of liberty, over those honestly, earnestly and faithfully seeking to become American citizens? \n\nPresident Bush has called for a reasonable and civil debate over the issues of border security and immigration reform. But the American people understand there can be no responsible immigration reform UNTIL OUR BORDERS ARE SECURE. “Guest worker” amnesty programs ARE NOT a part of border security. Amnesty is not the answer. To grant amnesty to these trespassers is to say "You crossed our borders ILLEGALLY, You BROKE OUR LAWS and now we are REWARDING you with U.S. Citizenship -- Congratulations!" \n\nThis is unacceptable. \n\n\nWe cannot allow illegals to remain in this country because it sends the very clear message to anyone from any country: \nGo ahead and enter the U.S. illegally. Nothing will be done to you. \nThe stupid Americans will pay to feed you, clothe you, educate your kids and pay for your medical care\nwhile they themselves are forced to go without because they can't afford health insurance because their tax dollars are paying for you! \nHa, Ha! Go ahead and enter the U.S. illegally If you're a terrorist, no problem, go ahead and build your cells, blow up buildings and schools.\nNothing will happen because American politicians are too cowardly to repel this invasion and deport the millions of \nillegals aready here while the illegals rub their lawlessness in our faces.\n\nAFRAID???-AFRAID???-NO< Im NOT AFRAD-IM PI$$ED\n\nIM MAD AS HELL-And IM NOT GONNA TAKE THIS $HIT \n\nYou Wish To Become AMERICANS With The RIGHTS Of AMERICANS .. \nYet Many Of You REFUSE To SPEAK My/Our LANGUAGE \nAnd REFUSE To Honor My/Our Flag \nWell I REFUSE To Let YOU Continue To Burden My Pocket \nAnd The Pockets Of My "PROUD TO BE AMERICAN" BROTHERS \nOf ANY DESCENT\n\nY

IT'S ALL A CONSPIRACY!  Seriously, I agree.  My question is why can't Mexico make their nation a prosperous democracy as well.  The differences between the U.S. and Mexico is staggering.

yes there lots of hispanic americans remember the alamo where we took the land from mexico? lot of those people stayed when the new border was established so they were actually here before you were. so next time you call one of them a wet back just stop and think he just might be more of a citizen than i'm myself.

That was a stupid question. They are the neighbors that border the US.

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 has nothing too do with race, SOME people want it too be so that they can blame race.\n\nMexicans are not the only people comming over the border, but it you make it about that then you look like a bad person.\n\n1+1=2 it's that easy.

People are idiots. Did you see all the answers? People probably didn't even look at the link, and they think you are giving the illegals sympathy.\n\nYes I saw the pictures, and some of the pictures looked just like any major city in the US. But it only showed the rich parts. In Mexico you are either horribly poor, right in the middle middle class, or billonaire rich. There is no inbetween of any of them. The people that illegally cross our borders are the horribly poor.

Yes.  It will continue to be ignored.  We are being taken over from within.  The Mexican government knows this and encourages it's citizens to illegally enter the U.S.  The only reason it's tolerated by politicians is that U.S. Company's will continue to have a source of cheap labor.  Think about it, they don't pay these people even the minimum wage.  They receive no benefits.  They are paid under the table so they also collect welfare benefits.  75% of the country want the borders closed, but the politicians continue to fiddle while the country burns.  At this rate, we will become North Mexico within 40 years.
