Do good fences make good neighbors?

Who can say? Though Doug Ross has photos that suggest it might not be such a bad thought:

This outrageous administration and its pathetic sycophants in Congress spent trillions on “shovel-ready” projects that only harmed the economic health of the country. They borrowed hundreds of billions of dollars from China, which our children must repay with interest when they grow up.

And the border remains open, even though the one construction project that makes sense — a freaking border fence — is supported by upwards of 80% of Americans. American citizens, that is.

No country with generous welfare benefits and guaranteed medical benefits can survive unlimited illegal immigration. And that’s why Democrats that support this mess can truly be said to be anti-American: they seek the collapse of the system.

And despite the capabilities of our brilliant men and women who serve in the military, in the intelligence community, in law enforcement and as first responders, they are utterly hamstrung by disastrous leaders like Janet Napolitano, Eric Holder and Barack Obama.

Me, I think a mile high dirt berm policed by surveillance balloons that double as netting anchors would be extra super cool and work just as well — and such a proposal might even carry a few Democrat votes, if someone can convince the opportunistic pricks that they could sell the idea as a kind of “Border Fence Funland!” and tax the hell out the soft drink and candy apple concessions. For the children.

But then, I’m not picky. So long as we can crush the dreams of the poor and displaced who if given the chance would almost certainly be the best of us, I’m good.

Sorry, but I’m a “conservative.” That’s just how we roll.

    No, no. That’s fencers, not fences. People get courteous around weapons.

  2. Jeff G. says:

    Oh. Well then my bad.

  3. Blake says:

    Fences? Feces? A mile high fence of feces?

    Go green, baby, recycle that shit.

  4. Mike LaRoche says:

    Either that or we could hire the outlaw Jose Wales and the armadillo as border guards.

  5. Mile high fences are too extravagant. Daisy-chained claymores would work just as well.

    And to stop the tunnelers, another balloon fence underground!

  7. Joe says:

    These democrats fill me with disgust. Semper lyius.

    As for the Mexicans and Central Americans flooding the border, start shooting fining employers who hire them.

    I’d prefer robotically-controlled 50-caliber machine guns every hundred feet or so. That’s just how I roll.

    Lots of dead coyotes, the four-footed kind, until the guns run out of ammo.

    How ’bout Rima Fakih – the 2010 Miss USA??!!! Fakih, an Arab American and the first Muslim to ever win the crown. A victory for diversity in America!

    This is why I read you every day, Jeff.

    Is there a fatwa on her head yet? Can we fit the muslim into the hypenation? That would be cool. Arab-Mulsim-American.

    But will the berm keep out the mighty Chinese shipping container army?

    #11 First – congratulations to a fellow Dearbornite. Second – wow! She’s a hottie!

  15. SDN says:

    #10: actually, cranky, my home security system could be programmed to ignore anything less than a certain weight so that I could turn it on while my Fuzzy was in the house alone.

    All the coyotes and drug runners agree with you.

  17. Parker says:

    Claymore mines and machine guns require replacement and maintenance.

    A deep trench lined with stainless steel spikes is almost maintenance free – and serves as its own warning/intelligence test.

    Maybe instead of a fence what we want is a high-risk obstacle course – sell the rights to a video feed, and tell people if they make it, they get a green card.

  18. Squid says:

    You’re right, soupy. That bit of hyperbole in the posted article completely delegitimizes the central point he was making.

    How silly of us to take it seriously. Thank you for setting us straight.

  19. Blake says:

    Yeah, inyoursoup, it’s so scary for illegals to cross the border, they continue to cross the border by the thousands.

    Good God, you are a stupid twit.

  20. Squid says:

    I dunno, soupy — whatever happened to that whole “root causes” argument? Maybe you should work harder at making life bearable in Mexico, and we’ll keep working at making life bearable in the U.S.

    Flying robotic sentries. With laser beams on their “heads”…

    Is North Korea a good neighbor?

    Your life would be unbearable without busboys, meya?

    Regular use of the proper medication would reduce or eliminate those phases, JD. Maybe if someone passed a law…..?
