Don't Raise the Fence, Widen the River

Didn't JerryLewis make a movie about this?

Texas mayors want wider Rio Grande - Yahoo! News: "BROWNSVILLE, Texas (Reuters) - Texan mayors opposed to a planned border fence with Mexico want to widen and deepen the Rio Grande river instead, and say it will be more effective in keeping out illegal immigrants."

If the Disney version of Pecos Bill was still with us, he could get this done tuit suite.

Pretty close, Bill - Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the River.

I think I missed that one.

I think we should grow daffodils in the Sahara. Maybe that will work.

I understand how you could widen the river. I understand how you could deepen the river. I don't understand how you could do BOTH without quadrupling the volume of water in the river -- unless Pecos Bill both digs it and pees in it.

That might be the solution.

We will spend 40 million on deepening and widening the river but if the river is not patroled properly it is money spent for nothing. Also, when caught, the immigrants should be sent right back to Mexico. This could turn into another "Bush Folly." He has cost this country enough already. We need to rent the buses, put the illegals on and send them home not offer them every benefit that is offered to US citizens. We need to feed and provide health care insurance for all of our own before we take on Mexico.

Don't build the wall, don't widen the river. PUT ARMED MILITARY on the border with orders to SHOOT!!! It's both less costly and more effective.

I think I have the solution-----alligators and crocks. Load the river with them I guarantee that will do it

Do what it takes to keep them out and get them out,,,, Im tired of working for them, they live better then me. They have more and better priveliges then alot of us.Im sick of it all,,, they can walk a bridge, come to our schools THAT WE pay for,,,, they work our jobs, dont pay taxes, walk back home, take our money back with them. We have to learn their language, they live in OUR country. Im sick of it, Maybe we should just buy the country , then maybe they will just stay there..... SICK OF IT ALL.

reading provocative comments that are signed anonymous means the commenter doesnt want anyone to know he has those opinions. for one reason or another. if you are going to have opinions at all, and you cant handle the big ones you should maintain an inventory of little opinions you are sure will not cause you any opposition of any kind, and then you can link your identity to them. otherwise you are just considered a raving coward. and your opinion is relegated to the nut file. you actually lose ground regarding your opinion with the people who dont have one as yet on the topic. it's called the courage of your convictions.
