Blogging against a border wall in Texas
Elizabird just sent this email out to several bloggers, and I definitely want to weigh in.
Visit the No Border Wall blog before October 15 for information on how you can submit your comments on the proposed border wall.
Public comments are being accepted regarding the proposed idiotic idea of building a wall to keep out illegal immigrants along the border between Texas and Mexico. This idea is just plain idiotic for many reasons, the chief one being that WALLS DON'T WORK! Having lived in Harlingen near the border for almost half my life, I know for a fact that there's probably NO way to keep determined people from coming over the border into our country. They'll go over, under, or around these walls. They always have.
As long as people perceive the situation in America is better than that in Mexico, Mexicans will come to the USA. As long as there are people here willing to hire them, Mexicans will come to the USA. And believe me, there will ALWAYS be people in the USA to hire illegal immigrants, whether they be business owners trying to get cheap labor, farmers trying to get cheap pickers, or people trying to get cheaper childcare/maids. In addition to the people trying to exploit these immigrants are those who are sympathetic and are just trying to help them out, give them work, help them get food and shelter. They have walls in California, and you can bet they're not slowing down illegal immigration one bit. People will just end up paying "coyotes" (illegal human traffickers) to bring them over, and THAT is a fate you don't want to wish on anyone.
The second reason this wall is a bad idea is the environmental impact. Visit the blog to read about this, but plain and simple -- animals and birds will be hurt by this wall. After everything they've done down there to promote the wildlife and birdlife, much of it done with our tax dollars, we've got to step forward and demand that this wall proposal be scrapped.

MSM Stalking
Now I don't want to go all "Chris Crocker" here, but come on ... enough is enough. One of the lead stories this morning on Today was the status of Britney Spears custody battle. Another of the "top stories" involves pictures of Princess Diana that have just surfaced. Come on MSM ... aren't there more important stories to tell?Here are some suggestions:
- The Minnesota National Guard's 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division returned home to find that nearly one half of the soldiers were one day short of being eligible for a more generous military educational benefit.
- President Bush vetoed health care for children -- who is that going to impact, and why should Americans be concerned?
- Secret U.S. Endorsement of
Severe InterrogationsTorture. - North Koreans Agree to Disable Nuclear Facilities -- the move is seen as a model for how to deal with Iran.
While Britney's story is unfortunate, could one of the contributing factors to her breakdown be that she is being stalked by MSM. There are laws that protect women from stalkers -- too bad they don't apply to celebrities being stalked by a greedy, looking for an 'inexpensive to produce' story at the expense of truly informing the public, main stream media.
