US lawmakers proposes to fence US-Mexican border
http://english.people.com.cn/200511/05/eng20051105_219260.html
5th November, 2005

Two US lawmakers have introduced a bill which calls for fencing the entire
3,200-km-long US-Mexican border to keep off illegal immigrants, US media
reported Friday.

The bill, co-sponsored by Congressman Duncan Hunter, chairman of the House
Armed Services Committee, and Congressman Virgil Goode, proposes to create a
two-layer reinforced fence with lighting and sensors from the Pacific Ocean
to the Gulf of Mexico, a 100-yard (meter) border zone to the north of the
barriers and 25 new ports of entry.

The cost of the project is estimated at 8 billion US dollars.

[Ed. Money well spent, the price of not doing anything is and will continue to
be far greater...]

They also propose to assign thousands of new border patrol officers,
immigration investigators, attorneys and immigration judges to beef up
immigration control along the porous US-Mexican border.

At present, only the westernmost 22-kilometer stretch of the border is lined
with parallel fencing.

There is secure fencing at other vulnerable points, but long stretches of
the border are protected only by patchy barbed wire or nothing at all.

However, some other lawmakers are skeptical that a new fence will
effectively stop illegal immigration.

[Ed. Especially those lawmakers making money from the cheap labour and cheap
votes...]

Congressman Jeff Flake said that such a fence will not work for half of the
400,000 immigrants who enter the country every year and overstay their
visas.

[Ed. Same problem worldwide, legal immigration is just as big an issue as
those sneaking across the border illegally, Mexicanisation in the United States,
Asianisation in Australia and New Zealand and Islamification in Europe...]

Currently, it is unclear whether the bill will receive enough support to
pass in both chambers of the US Congress.

[Ed. Then they have failed to uphold the constitution and defend the people
of the United States - as they swore to do - they should be thrown out of
office...]

Build the fence and put Congressman Jeff Flake on the Mexican side of the
fence.
