Are you upset that the border issue cooled down?

Question

It was the hot topic and the people were demanding action by our government and like all things it petered out without being fixed. We need to hold the politians feet to the fire longer on this one. McCain and O'bama are getting off way to easy. What do you think?

Answer 1

It sseems to have cooled down and I am very annoyed with it. We need a Great Wall and American to seperate us and Mexico to protect us period.

Then we need to work on better protection of our sea borders next since many illegals come in that way too from other countries.

Both of those two hopfuls will s***w this country so fast and hard we wont be able to stop it unless we take action now.

Answer 2

BOTH THEM A S S HOLES want amnesty. they want the mexican vote. they want hb-1 visas. in fact they want everything that is NOT good for this country!!! you don't hear too much about border because of economy problems right now. of course a lot of our economy problems are caused by illegals crossing mexican border.

Answer 3

It's an issue that needs to be address but it was being blown out of proportion.  Rhetoric and hyperbole had replaced serious discussion and debate about the issue.

Answer 4

It has not cooled down, Many Americans are still e-mail, calling and faxing their reps. everyday to get the fence built, McCain and Obama really go out of their way to avoid talking to much on this issue, they are afraid of losing votes!!! Definitely wish there was a third candidate who was worth voting for, because neither one of these are worth a $hit!!

Answer 5

There are more important issues like global warming and healthcare that need more attention than keeping mexicans out of this country, they contribute alot to to this economy in the form of labor. Without them we would be in big trouble, I dont see anybody making a big deal about chinese being shipped over in containers, but as soon as the the word mexican is thrown out there, we get a buch of racist americans kicking and screaming about them "stealing our jobs". Well Im mexican american, have a B.S. from a university, and I have yet to find a job, so I think maybe its just the economy and not all the mexicans that are stealing our jobs. Maybe mexicans should be kicking and screaming and kicking american asses for murdering our indigenous ancestors, politically stealing our land and then trying to call us illegals.

Answer 6

Nothing has cooled down except the media coverage. Most of us are still very active with our congress members. For example there are over 45 separate pieces of legislation in states that deal with illegals and increased enforcement.

Local and State law enforcement agencies are being trained by Homeland Security to detain and prep illegals for deportation.

So just because the talking heads on TV aren't talking about it doesn't mean Americans aren't busy working towards a complete and permanent solution to the illegal alien criminals
