OMG! I HATE that argument. I’ve worked lots of crummy jobs in my life what’s to stop other Americans? This thought process only makes Americans weak and more like the sterotype of “stuck up” and not “hard working” compared to the rest of the world.

I’m sorry, you pay a man a decent wage, and he will do it. Heck, ever see the show “Dirty Jobs?” There are jobs there I’d NEVER do but folks here in America do them every day! So anyone who uses this argument needs to shut up and get a brain. Sheesh.

And how about this one: If the libs don’t like the cost of the fence, eliminate the stupid union rules and “fair pay” rules, and let the project be bid to whomever can do the job? But, of course, the donkeys can’t let that happen. It makes too much sense, and the union plantation workers wouldn’t hear of it.

Finally, here’s the biggy (and I’m a business owner myself, so don’t get after me for suggesting this): enforce the laws on hiring illegals that are already on the books, and stick those who hire illegals with fines heavy enough to get their attention! As long as the fines are held to the total of $100 - $1000, employers who want to take advantage of illegals will continue to do so. Make it hurt the first time, then double it each succesive time, and make it a fine for each illegal.

Those who say the illegals only do the work Americans won’t are stupid, liars or both. Talk to those workers in the construction industry who don’t have jobs now because illegals are doing them for 1/2 the wages.

Have you ever lived down here in the desert? We get the whole “walking off of trails damages the environment for 20 or more year” speech all the time. But don’t think about building anything out there! Oh no!

Sheesh, these folks are never happy no matter what. Now I hope they do more than just this wall. There’s so many other holes and needed security along the border the walls should only be a starting point.
