A New Fence on the Border May Not Be The Answer
Why waste the money. What will it cost tax payers when it's completed? What will it solve to put a 1,952 mile long fence to keep illegals out? Can't we come up with a better solution? Have we not learned from the Berlin Wall, the Great Wall of China or the walls in Israel? Bear with me before you all spit at your computer screen. Has anyone thought about making Mexico part of our united economy? Could we consider the Mexican Oil fields-the old Cantarell and the new one, the Chicontepec-have tremendous reserves of crude oil and natural gas. Permex predicts that its new offshore oil field will be producing 1.4 billion barrels a day by 2008, and it's only explored 13% of the potential. According to reports, the old Cantarell oil field have reserves of about 16 billion of crude and 14.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Are we not fencing off our second largest trading partner?
All those demonstrators around the country during the past week, might, if proposed to them, vote for a referrendum to have Mexico part of the United States.
I know, this might sound like a dumb idea, but so is the fence.
