There are just under 2,000 miles that cover the entire US-Mexico border. Divided by $3.8 billion that comes to $1.9 million per mile and that divided by 5,280 comes to $359 a foot.

It's time to build a fence similar to fences installed at maximum security Federal prisons. Not only would it virtually eliminate illegal crossings other than fraudulent border crossings, but would save on labor costs, fuel and greenhouse gases, prevent the import of illegal drugs and child sex/labor slaves all the while making the border far more secure.

This situation makes the cash for clunkers fiasco look good.

It's absurd. The Democrats want illegal aliens to be absorbed as new Democrats - especially when we don't require ID at the polls. And the Republicans want the cheap labor.

It's over. The country is hemorrhaging.
