Does anybody have any realistic ideas to seal our borders?

Question

We mostly agree in this country(U.S.) that something major has to be done to stem the tide of illegal immigrants from flooding our country and bogging down our judicial, welfare, and legislative systems. I just wonder if any of our citizens can come up with a decent idea to work with since our lawmakers can't, and maybe we can submit the best ideas to our state representatives, although it is highly unlikely they will be competent enough to review them adequately...lol

Answer 1

The fence they are building along with the electronic devices and more border patrol agents will work just fine.

Answer 2

A wall would work but would be inneficient. If we would just ban the illegal immigrants from our school systems and health care they would not come here. It is that simple. If you arent a legal immigrant or a born citizen you can't simply use the health care system or schooling.

They would realize they would either die or have their kids grow up without schooling, and have no reason to come here.

Or we could let the border patrol actually keep them out using force. Non lethal of course.

Answer 3

Yes, the immigration reform bill that our President George W. Bush had in mind. I hope Bush brings his immigration reform bill back!

Answer 4

yea, start shooting them on sight, people would get the message real quik.

Answer 5

plant roses with big thorns and poison ivy at the border.It would pacify the environmentalist and hurt like crazy. make buying calamine lotion a felony in Texas, Arizona and California without a valid United States birth Certificate. Sorry not usually so insane but Government is making me crazy. Now they are putting amnesty in the farm bill!! We have to watch them every minute.

Answer 6

Sorry to tell you this but not having any answers isn't the problem.  Our problem is politicians who don't want to deal with illegal immigration and its effects.

Answer 7

Two words

Duct tape.

Answer 8

It would actually be very easy, if we were willing to.  All we would have to do would be to paint a big line on the border, and periodically shoot 1-2 that cross it.  In a very short period of time, others will get the word.

Answer 9

first of all, i agree with the problem, however i think illegal immigrants reduce the cost of inflation. Watch the movie "A day without a Mexican" some of those jobs around America allow people to do jobs that NOBODY else would at a decent price. It's the people that are working for $6 per hour that keep the prices of products produced by businesses at a minimum. Imagine paying the same guy, a citizen, $22 per hour for the same job because no one else wants to do it. That would cause businesses to charge more, and the people that they get their products from would charge more

Business that pay "under the table" have a low over head cost to run their business as much as some people scam SSI and cause accidents and driving without insurance or a license probably balances out. It's funding unnecessary wars are what destroys are economy.

it costs on average $1.5 billion per day for war.

but what can we do to seal the borders, build a great wall of America....

that's what china did to keep their borders from being penetrated... it's the only man made thing you can see from space

Answer 10

A few thousands years ago the Chinese built a huge wall...why can't we in the 21st century?

Answer 11

The AMERICAN PEOPLE can seal our border by voting for a President In 2008 that believes what WE THE PEOPLE believe. Go after the EMPLOYERS of illegals,CLARIFY the 14th Amendment to stop automatic birthright citizenship,and DENY benefits to illegals, that are supposed to be reserved for AMERICAN CITIZENS.
