Screwing the environment again

This should be in the tree hugger forum

 

As long as the drug smugglers don't forget their kickback money, they have no worry about walls or "surveillance"

You will remember the two border guards who were jailed for shooting a drug dealer. Shame on them for going off script

 

What we really need is a wall to keep the Canadians up north.

I agree! Nothing worse than all those pesky Canuck snowbirds clogging up the highways and streets

 

Canada is going to need a border wall to keep the yanks out when climate change starts to disrupt things big time down there.

 

The fence. Yes, what an incredible waste of time, money and effort. If Americans really want to stop the Mexican migration, then we need to find a way to make the Mexican's life better .... in Mexico! It can be done - if there was a will.

Sadly, the fence-building demographic doesn't want to help the Mexicans - they just want to beat them down. There lies the REAL problem.

I have nothing but agreement for this thread. Daniel, you are right... that wall is environmental disaster for wildlife, and also for flooding... during the rare, monsoon like rains, they will hit that wall instead of flowing through..

 

Hard working returning Mexicxans can do a lot to improve life in Mexico, They've learned a lot from working with American Businesses. They can provide the middle class that will improve the quality of life in thier countrry

Considering how Canada is willing to give the Arctic region to Russia without much more than whiny complaints, I rather doubt something as "aggressive" as a wall will be built

 

And another around Washington D.C. to keep us safe.

Wow, obviously the architects of this wall never bothered reading a history book. There is a problem to be solved and this makes it worse rather than better.

Help me out by adding to the quick list of walls that failed:
1) Great Wall of China
2) Hadrian's Wall
3) Antonine Wall
4) Maginot Line
5) Berlin Wall

 

I can name a fence that worked.
The dog proof fence across Australia has successfully kept dingos out of Southern Australia.


I'm not keen on fences or walls to keep people out. However that's easy for me to say, Australia has a rather large moat.

 

Hi Daniel,

The only way to stop illegal imigation is to put about 80 % of the small construction related buisness owners for a few hundred less in jail for tax evasion. No politician has this license or guts. And this is just what goes on around here. I guess in Kansas its the bigger buisnesses, and the last time the IRS went through a meat processing plant there was all sorts of political repercusions.

 

Hi Daniel,

Well, its illegal. The government has a responsibility to stop it. And to put those that violate that law in jail.

If you want to make it legal, well, that is fine to. Start writing your congressmen.

My people were 19 th century imigrants . But again, they were legal imigrants.

The thing with illegal imigrants is they cannot complain to the authorities when unscrupulous bosses do not pay their employment tax, or pay any health coverage for some of the jobs that are most physically risky. I am sure there are a myriad of other cons these bosses pull using the illegal nature of their workers as the tool to get away with it. This is rampant in Chicagoland, and its turning getting basic work done into an adventure in criminality.

People think they are getting by with cheaper labor, but in the end they pay the taxes that cover the expenses that these unscrupulous employers have cheated the government, and these workers out of.

Its the illegality that makes all this abuse posible. Guest workers is a proper thing. Give em a 5 year visa, and so on. If they want to stay they can apply for citizen ship. All above board.

 

...and once it is completed let's fill it with water

 

Your people had entry visas from the traditional land owners? Cool.

What makes it legal if the right to decide who comes and who stays was stolen in the first place?

 

Spoken like a true first fleet descendent!
