DIY Illegal Immigration, The "safe" way

I wonder what it would cost to buy a 100' wide strip of land running parallel with the border?

not that much honestly. that land is relatively cheap because of all the abuse it receives from the border crossers.

you're not thinking of landmines and snipers, are you? if you are, there were a small group of ranchers practicing their sniping skills awhile back and cops put a stop to it. but there are an awful lot of bodies buried out in the desert, the way i understand it.

I'd rather deter them than kill them.

me too. i'm not really advocating turning anyone into swiss cheese. but it is difficult to deter them when you've got bush giving them amnesty under a different name, (didn't they do something like that in the '80's?), governors ignoring or subverting the will of state's (legal) residents, and the leadership of mexico encouraging their people to move north because of all the cash they take back into mexico.

what happened with the ranchers was actually some of them were taking wing shots at illegals who were trespassing on their property. a significant percentage of our prison population are here illegally, the courts are full of them, drop houses are busted frequently with 100+ illegals in them, auto accidents with uninsured illegals, etc.

something real needs to be done, but the politicians want to pander to the hispanic vote, and most people are afraid of being un-PC so they don't speak out. What exactly are we supposed to do? The government won't do it's job in securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws.

Like most real problems it's going to end up having to be solved at teh bottom instead of by the people at the top like it we pay taxes for.

auto accidents with uninsured illegals,

I can vouch for that!

Well, since the US government is supposed to be full of evil imperialists, the US could just annex the place, make it a protectorate of some sort. Put Richard Daley or Marion Barry or one of the Streets in charge, because you need someone who understands corruption in the blue-collar Democratic way.
