Should Obama use the money saved by ending the Iraq war, to build an insurmountable fence across the border?

Question

... and thus ending this endless ranting, bickering and hatred raised in the whole US by ultra-conservative commentators like Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly, to mention a few, who have accomplished to pit a big chunk of the US population against illegal aliens, to an extreme level of hatred compared only to that of the n***s against the Jews.

If an insurmountable fence across the Mexico-US border is a REAL SOLUTION for this every day headache of illegals crowding the already overpopulated border cities, taking up public services, jobs and other benefits destined to legal citizens, and a sure way to FINALLY GET RID OF ignorant and biased people like those "commentators" and have people with a good head on their shoulders in place of those ranting whiners, who every day complain about the same things over and over, why not?

I put McCain aside, 'cause he'll not end the war, if president.

Please, liberals, conservatives, "independents" and even immigrants, express your opinion!

Answer 1

I do not thank we can build a fence because we have way to many laws for mice, rats and owls ?

The hatred for the law breaking scum that come into my country take are jobs, live off of us and what us to speak there language  I have not heard of one of us killing them or rapping them but I have heard of a lot them killing and raping us and YOU call the ones how inform us that they are ignorant may be you should look at ones self

Answer 2

I don't believe Obama, if elected, will end the war in Iraq, I think he will continue with plans to escalate the war into Iran instead, which will make an Iraq pullout impossible.  

But regardless,  he will not build a wall of any kind between Mexico and the US because the Bush-initiated (and CFR supported) North American Union will be established by 2010, and there will be effectively no north or south border to the US, except where the North American continent ends.

Answer 3

He should not end the war.

But yes there should be a fence along the border.  And border patrol should be allowed to use lethal force if necessary.

Answer 4

Of course not. Obama is going to give all the illegals amnesty. That will also mean that each illegal can bring in 100 of his or her closest friends and relatives from Mexico. Soon there will be 100-200 million of them here demanding free healthcare, free housing, free food stamps, free education and that all American speak Spanish. Obama has already said we are going to learn Spanish. I don't think so.

Answer 5

Forget about any money surplus from the debt we have built.

Answer 6

The war is already ending because we're winning.  I'm sure Obama will still try to claim responsibility for it if he's elected though.  Ironically, myself and the ultra-conservative commentators you despise would LOVE for someone to build an "insurmountable fence" across the border.  So maybe you are a bit of an ultra-conservative yourself!

Answer 7

well its really ashame beacuse obama is going to have to use the resources saved from the iraq war to re invade iraq after the situation gets out of hand atleast with mccain well only need to finish it up then  leave it be THEN we can save that money to clear up the deficit

Answer 8

I say it's good to make peace; we are no longer in war against country s we are at war with fictional characters. This war is all in our heads.We're in the 21th century we (as an American) can't conquer the world with fear(weapons, war) we have to conquer it with knowledge. McCain still thinks this is Vietnam. Iraq would of not left a bigger debt if the U.S. could of agreed with the whole world that terrorist are a danger to every Society.  Well the rest of the world is not as dumb as our congress. A simple phrase made congress go crazy "your either with us, or with the terrorist"  hey Mr. president Bush what if with neither?  I guess you dont take that for an answer. P.s. I'm Mexican

Answer 9

Our virtual War in Iraq is going to be hard to end.  Trouble is, it was never a war.  It was an invasion.  We "won" it in less than 10 days and then started looking for an army in Iraqii's houses.  They responded as any occupied country would ...with insurgents....unless we kill everyone there, the war will never be over now.

As for a border wall, there is no insurmountable barrier known to man, or cockroaches wouldn't be in my house from time to time.  If there is a will there is a way.

Too bad people cannot see the harm the border fence is causing already ...not to mention everyone having to have a passport.  What happened the right to the pursuit of happiness, much less the right to privacy or the right to assemble around your elected president.

Talking heads make so much they will say anything to keep it coming in ...so only greedy need to apply.  Evidently the same is true for most politicians and most bank officials.  When even the Credit Unions are only paying you .75% for your savings, but charging you 9 -12% to more for loans; you have to wonder about the Christian principles that are suppose to be so prevalent in this country.

No one actually knows what Obama is going to do, it is the thrill of it all, don't cha know?  He is just going to change.  I guess he is going to change his underwear a lot or something, because he flips and flops like the best of them.  I have not seen or heard anything that indicates he will change anything, except that he is willing to bargain with both sides of the political fence.  People who are willing to compromise anything to win don't seem all that much of a change for the better.

I only hope I am wrong.

Just change the station and hum a merry tune.  If we stick our heads in the sand for another 8 years, we will not have to worry about much there after.

Personally, I am voting for the Green Party.  Not because I support the Green Party, but because their candidates seem sincere and knowledgeable.  And electing a party which has no cronies will be the only way to get some checks and balances back in our government.

Cynthia McKinney has promised to repeal the Patriot Act and get us out of IRAQ, which is more than the others will do.  And if it matters, she is black, has had Congresswoman experience in Georgia, and has a NY born Puerto Rican female running mate, Rosa Clemente.  Talk about making history.  

Yes, Cynthia named her running mate already.  Like a breath of fresh air.

(The electoral vote is usually a hindrance for third parties, but all you have to do is get enough votes for a majority in a three-way race and you win it all ...so it may not be an impossibility,.  that's how Abe Lincoln was elected as a third party the first time.)  So vote third party.

Answer 10

I can think of lots of things Id like to see my tax payer money spent on. maybe a fence is a good idea.

Answer 11

He's already promised to use it for welfare, education, and socialized healthcare.

These empty promises are unaffordable as it is.

Answer 12

As long as there are people who want to come into USA they will find a way. No fence will stop them.

I don't think it is right to punish the ones still trying to come in, yet reward the illegals already here by giving them amnesty.

I mean if I'm here and I sneak in yet you will forgive me, how is it fair then to punish the rest of my family who still wants to come in??
