Not spending money on this is actually a good idea. No amount of fencing will keep illegals out. To keep them out, we need to eliminate the reason that they sneak into our country in the first place. The sneak in here, because they can make more money here than they can make in their own countries. Universal E-Verify would eliminate the jobs lure. Implement Universal E-Verify and we elimminate mass illegal aliens. Then we can concentrate on apprehending potential terrorists.

As for eliminating drug smuggling, demand creates supply. The only "solution" to our drug problem is legalization, regulation, taxation, and education. Anything else is a delusion.

As for our "joint interest" with Mexico, Blanco has been dumping his poor on us for decades. If there were honesty at the top of our own gorvernment, all Americans would already know this.
