that go many miles between our border and the Mexican border. How deep can you build a fence?
I don't believe they've ever found one "many miles" long...much less 1 mile long

DQ, don't you know the real reason we're not building a fence across the Mexican border is that we'd have to tear it back down again after Mexico joins the U.S.?
I was replying to Bugsy...

Oh, gotcha.
Has anyone else thought about Mexico joining the US?
I know it's a radical idea, but if they were interested, we could explore it anyway.

The cost to upgrade the infrastructure alone wouldn't be cost effective, even with adopting some prime beach-front properties. This would be an incredibly bad mood and would start another Civil War of sorts. A lot of the people I've met in border states resent us yet are happy to take our money.

And I would suggest that if you don't support his viewpoints, you don't send the Rev. Wright any money. I know I won't. Problem solved.
Now, do you think that the United States ought to be sending money to secure another country's border, BF? Already answered, and my point still stands. Some of the people you want to help in our own country hate us as much as those you don't want to help outside our nation.

I don't believe they've ever found one "many miles" long...much less 1 mile long I know when I lived in Arizona twenty years ago, they found one several miles long from an abandoned barn in Mexico to a junk yard in Arizona.

Oil and Chicas, even better.
I would assume we would get even cheaper Mexican food too.

Some of the people you want to help in our own country hate us as much as those you don't want to help outside our nation. Who is it that you think I want to help in our own country? Also, I re-read all your posts, and I don't see you directly answering the question I asked you; forgive me for asking for clarification. I often find it's best to be clear and not assume.

Just thought you'd like some help with your lists. Once again, I didn't write the article, and I didn't edit the article, so I don't need "help" with it. I simply received it in an email; I didn't research it or analyze it to death, I simply posted it because I thought it was thought-provoking. Thank you for posting a list of countries that did support one or the other war, though, I find it interesting reading.

How do you tell the difference between the junkyard and the rest of Arizona?  j/k, BB!
