The problem with a lot of government agencies is they have to justify their existance. If they can't find a threat they may just start making one up.

I was just trying to correct some misconceptions regarding the US-Mexico Border. the US allows Mexican Nationals with very minimal paperwork, to cross and shop, vacation, etc. with in 30-40 miles of the border. Mexico has a similar program. When you enter Mexico, wether by vehicle or walking a red/green light is triggered if you get a green light, which is 99% of the time you procede without ever talking or seeing a Mexico official. If you want to travel into the interior (more than 30 kilometers) you need a tourist visa. North of me about 40 miles is an interior border checkpoint. Everyone is stopped and asked their nationality. Some are asked to prove it. Foreign nationals are requred to have US paperwrok to travel further north. The desire for a fence has many reasons with stopping illegals being one. However, many humanitarians want the remote areas cut off because hundreds of poor people who want to pick crops up north are dying when they get lost in hostile environments. The Southwest has been experiencing drought conditions and watering holes have dried up. Border Patrol agents just watch for buzzards and try to get there in time. The border has very little security for most of the distance. Here is my favorite crossing point about 30 minutes from my house The last hand ferry on the Rio Grande

Look back at my comments, the Israel fence doesn't bother me. You are so busy making assumptions you make an ass out of yourself. You also forgot the Berlin Wall and the Great Wall. If people are happy living inside a very large prison, it's their deal.

Some of us older Americans can remember how the FBI and other government agencies were spying on anti-war protesters during the Vietnam War and how Nixon kept an enemies list. Further back we have everyone's favorit politician from Wisconsin who was looking for communists under every bed and on every stage. I am wondering with all the money that we are shoveling into the Department of Homeland Security when they will turn on us. All it takes are a few employees with extreemist political views and soon they are spending our tax dollars looking at innocents. Anyone else concerned we have created this new massive government agency? You can imagine trying to hire so many new people that the screening wasn't all that great, hell it's our government.

It's an epidemic if we use your bull s*** definition. If someone does not believe Israel is 100% correct in everything they do, you call them anti semetic. I also assume if someone does not like Barry Manilow they are also anti semetic. You obviously hate everyone who lives in a trailer (like southsider2k4) I guess anti-trailer trash is a worldwide epidemic. I do not dislike you because you are Jewish. I would think you are a close minded racist bigot no matter your race, religion, or sexual preference. I have little time for anyone who makes blanket derogotory statements about an entire race of people.

Would you stop with the Mexico fence. The border is 1,933 miles long and you are talking about 14 miles? The Rio Grande cuts north outside El Paso meaning the majority of the border does not have any barrier to walking. That would be the states of New Mexico, Arizona, and California. If you care to know, the Rio Grande doesn't even flow into the Gulf of Mexico anymore. It stops almost 1/2 mile from the Gulf. Most of the river though Texas is less than 5 feet deep and less than a couple hundred yards across and very little current. It would be harder for someone to cross Michigan Avenue during rush hour than to cross the Rio Grande. 14 miles of fencing. LMAO. It's like me stating that Northbrook put up a fence keeping people out and pointing to a few backyard fences. I've seen fencing at Ilinois Beach State Park and in Antioch along the state line. That must be the fence Illinois erected to keep illegals from Wisconsin out. You are amazing. I live in the US and spent many working hours in Mexico. I have travelled extensively all along the border. Yet, you will continue to try and debate this. I love your quote about quiting posting because people have closed minds. There have been many multi million dollar proposals to build fences but all fail for various environmental and humanitarian factors. And finally a piece from our government, well at least mine.

The love and respect for your fellow man is very touching. Thank you for bringing clearly to the fore front of this debate why peace is impossible. Guys, this is really unfair to Israel4ever. I feel like a kid at the baboon cage tauntiing the baboon. Hey everybody let's make him yell and scream and fling poo.

Why is he pretending to be shocked so he could find another job? Wow, I hope the change in AA Manager doesn't keep us out of the WS this year. When was the last time someone left any team, not of their own choice and had nice things to say? I do not think this is a White Sox issue. I hear the same thing about the Rangers and Astros.

KW; "As a rookie you will probably have to sweep the bullpen, answer the phone, and be our set up guy. And yes, Mrs. Zero we are close to Marshall Fields, Lou Malnattis delivers to the Stadium, and we found your old boyfriend, he's living on the southside." Mrs. Zero: "Honey, he said you can be the closer."

Perhaps my favorite peace song of all time.

I disagree. Knowing who the rapists are, especially someone who targets underaged children is exactly what the law was intended to do. Give people a way to know the threats in their neighborhoods.

I might be wrong but by setting a minimum age the state has determined that children under 16 can not consent in that situation. Where do we draw the line? Can a 12 year old consent to sex with a 16 year old? One reason we have consent ages is to eliminate the she said yes ~ no I didn't loop.

Everyone is excited

If the bone phone comes with a camera does it take x-rays?

ROTFLMAO

Wouldn't that be easy. Figure out who the murders are before they murder and get rid of them. That's the problem in the US we believe in innocent until proven guilty. Didn't a suburb try and block their roads that led into the city and create cul de sacs? I forget which suburb tried it? Perhaps Evanston. My guess it was in the early 70s. I remember a whole lot of retoric about it being discriminatory.

Let's see, Koch went to Botch :fyou in about a week and a half. I'll wait and see just how good this guy really is. I know it's stupid but one thing I think that sounded good to me was his english speaking wife went to school in and or around Chicago. Maybe he did sign for less money to be in Chicago. Zero to Fear-O?

Do you see a fence? That is the international crossing from Nuevo Progresso, Texas and Progresso, Tamps. Mexico Midway between Brownsville and McAllen Here is the international bridge from Hidalgo, Texas to Reynosa Mexico, do you see a fence? Here is the crossing at Lake Ammestad -- See no fence?

There is a joke in here that I can not find. What ring tone would you select for a bone phone?

There are a lot of electronic manufacturers in town. From components like Kemet Capacitors, to finished goods like Motorola.

Gee you aren't involved in electronics, perhaps cable boxes?

No, there is not a fence keeping illegals out. There are a couple thousand miles of border and less than 1 mile has fencing. But I just live and cross the border every day.

Brownsville or Matamoros?

My best friend amd golfing buddy happens to be Jewish. When he and I were considering private Country Club memberships we ran into situations where he could find a sponsor and I couldn't and a couple where I could find a sponsor and he couldn't. Don't forget there were a couple clubs that turned down Mr. Jordan because he was too high profile. And no I will not embarass the clubs by naming names. My buddy is in one now that has almost 100% Jewish members. I am comfortable there the few times I've been a guest in his Member Guest tournament. So I personally do not feel any of their members are racists or anything of the sort. The membership grows by refereals and some are friends from Temple or grew up in the same neighborhood, or their kids go to the same private school. The Club I joined in Texas, The Club at Cimarron I will identify because they have a 100% acceptance policy. No one has been turned down for anything except credit.
