Multi-Million Dollar Border Wall Will Slow Migrants By Four Minutes
Texan mayors threaten court to stop border fence By Robin Emmott
LAREDO, Texas (Reuters) – Texan mayors on the border with Mexico are threatening to take the U.S. government to court and are encouraging ranchers to do the same to block construction of a fence to keep out illegal immigrants.
Six mayors fear the planned fence, part ofWashington’s crackdown on illegal immigration, will hurt trade, split closely knit Mexican-Texan communities on both sides of the border and endanger wildlife.
Part of a federal plan to build 700 miles of barrier along the entire border, the fence will also cut off Texan ranchers’ access to the Rio Grande, the main source of fresh water in the region, the mayors say.
“We have to protect our property and we will do whatever is necessary to ensure there is no wall,” said Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas, a former FBI agent.
A federal judge temporarily halted construction of part of the fence this week inArizonaon environmental grounds.
Since the failure of President George W. Bush’s immigration reform plans in June,Washingtonhas been focused on boosting border security and deporting illegal immigrants. Construction of the fence has already begun inCalifornia.
Eagle Pass Mayor Chad Foster said he had received hate e-mails from Americans outsideTexaswho accuse him of being soft on security. But the mayors argue there are better ways to stop illegal immigrants and drug traffickers.
“The perception in some parts of theUnited Statesis that you build a fence and then migration stops. The reality is that it will slow down migrants by three to four minutes,” he said.
One year ago: Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev compared the United States’ proposed 700-mile wall on the U.S.-Mexico border to the Berlin Wall during a visit to Chaparral Center at Midland College, Texas. I borrow a phrase from the blog ‘The Wall’ …
“Tortilla Curtain” or “Iron Curtain”.
We have a long way to go to resolve why anyone wants to risk everything to come to an ungrateful country. Yes, illegal immigrants are a strain on our health system, our government provided human services. In exchange, they go to work in places most young workers perceive as undignified. Yucky jobs that even the poorest Americans would turn away from or don’t have the energy to try. These enthusiastic pioneers step right in and roll up their sleeves without complaint, mostly out of fear. After improving their language skills, they move forward into their own service businesses. They are motivated and focused on upward mobility. Strange enough, they even send support back to their families back home. They endure all the injustice America can dump on them. They pay more taxes than ordinary Americans, they are prey to crooked scams and believe the most despicable among us. They are profiled by police and set upon by bigoted youth gangs. Yes, crooks cross into this country, too. They become targets for America’s home grown crooks who resent intrusions into their turf. Illegal immigrants are the underbelly for our foundation service industries. We are only now beginning to feel the price of food left in the field. Get used to it. Get used to cleaning up your own hotel room, paying more for child and elderly care and mowing your own lawn. These immigrants leave a poor system that offers respect from their peers to a ‘rich’ system that treats them like garbage.
Oh yeah, they must be crazy. Send them back to Mexico, Guatamala, El Salvadore, Honduras. Lets start recruiting replacement workers from your family. Start now. The wages will surely improve because you are an American. Someday you will earn enough to get that iPhone.

this is mess up. people should cross the border with no problem. stupid gringos this is not there country it is owers the Mexican!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! con much orgullo
March 20th, 2008 at 11:53 am
VIVA MEXICO!!!!!!!
March 20th, 2008 at 11:59 am
IF IT WAS NOT4 US THE MEXICANOS U WOULD NOT HAVE FRUTAS AND VEGES. THINK ABOUT THAT! AND OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS!
March 20th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
THEY JUST WANT A BETTER LIFE!
May 22nd, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Illegal immigrants want a better life. Instead of spending millions to build a fence, spend those millions to make life better in Mexico so that they won’t feel the need to run here.

” I will not tolerate racism on any level especially the use of the “N” word. ” – BlueBloggin
“stupid gringos” – Comment Above
Seems only “La Raza” – ie “THE Race” is allowed to be racists. There is nothing like a Mexican calling whites Gringos to make that point for us. What’s worse is hypocritical bloggers that allow this kind of racism to continue.
June 7th, 2008 at 12:34 am
So, Stop ‘La Raza’, are you suggesting BlueBloggin should add “gringo” to the racist language ban?
There are hundreds of defamatory names we could include. This will be a daunting task … you could help by starting a list for us.
June 7th, 2008 at 6:24 am
Stop ‘La Raza’ Racists:
As the rule on my blog states “racism on any level.” The “N” word is used far more freely by hate mongers on blogs in comments. Gringo by definition is not a word used offensively. On the other hand the “N” word is used to offend
Websters dictionary:
Gringo
Etymology: Spanish, alteration of griego Greek, stranger, from Latin Graecus Greek
often disparaging : a foreigner in Spain or Latin America especially when of English or American origin; broadly : a non-Hispanic person.
“N”
1. usually offensive; see usage paragraph below : a black person
2.usually offensive; see usage paragraph below : a member of any dark-skinned race
3.: a member of a socially disadvantaged class of persons
BTW: usually offensive and often disparaging mean two different things.

I thank the ones here need to turn around and go back to the old land from whitch they came. if they or illegal immigrants.because you need to get in line like the rest of people that like to come here in the right way..
September 12th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
no wall shall be built. it will turn out JUST like the Berlin wall and be torn down. it will be a waste of time and money. u wanna spend your tax money on stuff that CANNOT be built until 2020??
September 19th, 2008 at 11:47 am
hahaha nO MATTER HOW MANY BORDERS THEY PUT WE THE MEXICANS ARE STILL GONNA BE HERE IN THE U.S
HAHAHAHA ANd THEY CAN PUt AS MANy I.C.E POLICE AS THEY WANT
BUT THEY “”"CANT DEPORT US ALL”"”
October 1st, 2008 at 7:37 am
Well this seems to have heated up the crowd a little BlueBloggin – good post. First, the wall will reduce illegal activity. Many of us are all for the incredible melting pot of humanity in the United States that really by default leads the world… with plenty of good intentions and many unfortunate failures. But to allow 20 to 40 MILLION illegals to live here and drain services meant to care for needy American children is just not right. Our government moves very slowly to fix problems like this so we all need to get involved a little and at least write a note to your Congressman, Senator, and local government. We need a process where illegals get a path to become US citizens and Mexico has to do more to clean up the intensely crime riddled border towns.
October 1st, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Thanks Ron, I have many ideas how to address and control the influx of aliens. Viable options must be explored rather than knee-jerk visuals … like a fence. Unfortunately, I consider this fence nothing more than a sweet government contract to this administration’s buddies. Its usefulness is questionable at best. The components are bought from China and the labor force includes illegals. How about those Republicans? Think they’ll make it to the World Series?
October 1st, 2008 at 8:53 pm
awww boo hoo hoo they want a better life I know many illegal Mexican people very well and they only want one thing to rape the country and run back over the border back to Mexico with a wad of cash in their hand. They don’t want a life here they just want to take the economy down and get theirs and fuck the rest of us TRUST me I have had many detailed conversations with many illegal Mexican people and they could give a fuck about you there only here to steal from us and smile, ya I know you think there good people and some of them might appear to be very friendly, but thats only because you have something they want. There not going to spit in your face when there using you just look at google maps and look at how many cars are coming into America and how many are going into Mexico and then you might understand that the economy cant handle it they are not just here for the shit jobs or the ones that people have said American people just dont want because thats a lie they are here to take over and if you dont see it well I hope they take your job someday they have taken jobs from every supervisor that I have ever had they fire all the Americans and then they fire the supervisor because he costs to much and cant speak Spanish I guess if you work for beans anyone will hire you this affects you legal Mexicans as well and I hope you lose your jobs first to an illegal because it will happen if you dont wake up !
October 14th, 2008 at 6:10 pm
the mexcans should not come over the boader an i am a farmer and i do the same work that the mexicans do too
November 9th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
well i do think that building a wall is a waist of time and MONEY…ibecause they will still come over no matter what.I know mexicans very well cause i am mexican american…well and about a mexican taking your job well its not that they speak spanish or english maybe its just because they do a better job than you…cause if you know your a good worker there is no reason to et fired…maybe you should just get better at doing what you do !!!! and us mexicans do want a baetter ife that why they come to america to work and yes also maintain there families at home who woulnt do that..i know you would. so stop being damb races abd put yourself in there shoees its not there fault mexico is the way it is cause if it were a good place to live trust me no mexican would bother to cross….****VIVA MEXICO***
November 9th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
We all work the same – some just get paid less. This is a market economy and it is a buyers market. Every job should be bid on … lets see who gets the job. I have a dear friend who is in deep depression because he has been unemployed 2 years. He is in terrible denial. He insists that a low pay job won’t support the life he’s accustomed to! Well he’s homeless! He’s lived off of friends until they can’t support him anymore. He may never recover from denial, but I wish him well. He is one of thousands now. He just refuses to take the same job at immigrant pay. If there were no immigrants, those jobs may pay more, but there would be much fewer.
That’s where many Americans find themselves. The unemployed are the ones hollering loudest about immigrants. They need someone to blame for their woes. They cannot get it through their head that they alone are responsible for not applying for the lower pay jobs. They may be over educated or have a high maintenance lifestyle or kids – that’s not what it’s about anymore. Everyone is trying to survive. Overextended finances and credit, is nothing more than gambling, and middle class America went credit card crazy. I posted about being unemployed, today. The energy it takes to rant about someone elses efforts to survive is wasted energy. The effort it takes to mourn what could have been, is also wasted. Reboot the attitude and focus on unemployed resources you have available. Lighten your load, sell stuff off and become more flexible. Do not set unreasonable goals for yourself. The plight of the immigrants belongs to them, your plight belongs to you. Congress is trying to figure this out for you, anyway. That’s what we hired them for.

March 24th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
its bull shit bc either way think about it the americans came from another country too!! and + mexicans help the economy bc itd true that some white people will not do the dirty jobs and the mexicans will they arent taking the jobs away their just fillin them in..ppl are complaining that the gov. wastes our money on stupid shit..and diz is one of them.. mexicans come and go so border or no border..WE STILL HERE!! AND NOT ALL MEXICANS ARE IILEGAL!!!
March 24th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Thanks babii, that’s what I was pointing out. People will cross the border regardless what the government does. Spending millions on a fence is not addressing the problem that the Mexican economy does not offer the opportunity that America does. The only sad thing is many Americans are resentful and want to blame immigrants for their own failures.
The border problem must target the drug wars that kill indiscriminately. Putting armies along the border is a scary answer to all the danger. The coyotes don’t care how much danger they put their clients in, as long as they get their money … just like the drug cartels don’t care who they kill.
April 16th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Mexicanos are gay bitches that should go die in a hole GO AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 17th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
wow…they should be happy with thier own country, instead they come over here and waste tax money with health care they cant pay for.
April 18th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
well on the up side, as long as we have that wall there, if there’s ever a zombie outbreak in mexico we have a first line of defense for the US…
April 18th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
LOL anon, I was sure worried about those zombies … I’ll take an illegal immigrant any time.
April 22nd, 2009 at 9:35 am

USA is the best land in the world! But I like Mexico too.

Thanks for your help Matt. At least these commenters are keeping it clean.
June 17th, 2009 at 11:01 am
look the point is all of gods kids need a beter life no mater were you come from and if you dont have what you need in your home land go out and get it this people do it to sopport there kids ,wife ,and mothers i think any one would do the same for theres if ya did not have anything here you would go looking for it some were els the usa is big enough for every body so dont be bad and this is coming from a nun hispanic person
July 25th, 2009 at 8:08 am
mexicans are still gonna come because we are chingones and america would not work if mexicans were not here because americans are gay fagets
October 13th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
I think this wall is not prevention from illegal flow…but to cross this wall it’s amazing way for a lot of people to get to USA ) and it means the best life, cause America is cool!
October 28th, 2009 at 9:19 am
more then half of them become gang bangers and fuc up america so anyone who thinks they want a better life can smd
October 28th, 2009 at 9:20 am
you guys dont live in texas with abunch of mexicans its bull sht
October 29th, 2009 at 11:16 am
This is my opinion—why the fuck should the u.s.a share there economy and standards of living with mexico just because the mexican government can’t be fucked to get off there swine ridden asses and chnge the fact there country sucks. They should just issue a shoot on sight policy for anyone trying to cross the border, they might stop then!
I mean for gods sake american people work hard to pay there taxes and earn a living then you get some small ass beaner kid who just hops over the fence and starts a new life, never needing to pay any taxes and works as some fruit picker. The same happens in the U.K you get some polish family emmigrating to here and of coarse they will work for ?5.80p/h (minimum wage) at some building site and just steal all the jobs from the locals.
November 4th, 2009 at 10:42 am
I moved to Texas from the north (PA) with a college education and moe than enough job experiance I was denied employment simply because I was not fluently bilengual. I don’t have a problem with immigration, we at one time were all immigrants to America but to illegally enter the country and steal false SSN #s to work is ridiculous. That being said, if a better quality of life is what Mexicans are after then why do they still proclaim VIVA Mexico? You are in the land of the UNITED STATES…not MEXICO so show respect and love the country that is supporting you or well the legal residents who are working to support your welfare habits. If you love Mexico so much, then hop your ass back over the boarder and live la vida loca on your own soil and speak spanish because that is your native tongue…since when did speaking spanish becoime a US must??? I thought we all spoke english?
November 12th, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I’ve fixed problem on my property. I got tired of fixing my cut fences on the border and the ICE not doing anything about it. I just dug a big deep hole and bought some night vision scopes for my rifles and made homemade land mines. Kind of surprising the amount of people that travel at once. I’ll need to dig another hole here soon.
December 15th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
If you stop and think the Spanish bring income in. They pay taxes in and at the end of the year they can not get back that money because the ss number is not a good one. And if it would not be for the Spanish people some of the jobs would not be done. There are good and bad in every race. And as far as medical cost, I work in a Medical and Dental clinic and there are as many white and black that come in the clinic that can not afford medical attention. I have a child with a Spanish guy and he is a hard worker and pays taxes every week. So everyone needs to have an open mind out the Spanish race.
December 16th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Americangirl:
Agreed. However, many illegal immigrants, foreign investors and any person without a SSN do file US income tax using an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN) number which they get from the IRS. This number has nothing to do with social security. It amazes me how may Americans do not realize that illegal aliens pay income tax every year. Approximately 2.5 million per year file income tax returns using an ITIN number.
Thanks for your comment.
March 1st, 2010 at 5:57 pm
WHY did we studdy History? lol
They have no intention of keeping cheaplabor , er ahem I mean Mexicans, out of America! It would be very easy to do but by now everyone should have it figured out but they keep distracting us and telling us how and what to think and we follow along like the idiots we are…
The great wall of china didn’t do it’s job, a border wall won’t do it, and besides DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THE BERLIN WALL?
WOW are we realy this stupid? Does anyone REALY think they want to control the border? If they realy wanted to they would and it would happen over-night! The answers are very very simple.
March 12th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
Mexico is not home of the free. Borders should be closed and patroled. There should be harder and more stiff penalties for illeagle imigrants.
March 21st, 2010 at 8:57 am
FUCK all of yall gringos, we just want a better life for our family, and for 1 we do mostly all the work around here and work our asses off for money, have you ever seen a mexcican standing out in the freeway asking for money no, have you seen a mexican standing outside a fucking drive thru picking up dropped change no, its only yall fucking white people, we ran the place onces and we still run this place! and thats right “you cant deport us all!” and if yall want us to go back to speak english reality check! yall gringos are the one’s who our trying to learn spanish! I cant wait for the first mexican president! i want to see that happen one day so we can screw all of yall white people for what yal have done and said to us! we make your food and make you house look pretty, all yall do is sit around and take orders! SO FUCk YAll gringos who think we should stay in mexico! VIVA LA RAZA!
April 20th, 2010 at 10:38 am

April 20th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
i LOVE all mexicans they deserver to be here as much as americans do!!!! so fuckall u racist white bitches!
April 27th, 2010 at 7:42 am
first of all if they are jumping the border that’s illegal and we don’t have to give them anything else i think they have taken enough.so lets stop saying they deserve to be here because they don’t and most likely whoever is getting defensive is MOST likely mexican so shut the hell up and stop complaining we have given you enough!
April 27th, 2010 at 7:43 am

May 25th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
THEY ARE ILLEGAL. THEY SHOULD BE SHOT ON SIGHT WHEN CROSSING THE BORDER. PERIOD. END OF STORY
June 2nd, 2010 at 7:11 pm
mexicans will not give up crossing the border and they will not stop because they want a good job a better life to make a family here.
June 25th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
I love the posters telling AMERICANS to make it better for MEXICANS. We have enough to take care of in our own country. You whine about our wall? Sneak into mexico and see what happens. Mexico is completely overran by drugs and crime. If you want a better life then DO IT THE LEGAL WAY. Just because I”m poor and I’m in America I can steal to give myself a better life. That’s a… crime. Sneaking into our country is a felony, so that’s the way I will look at them. FELONS.
June 30th, 2010 at 10:39 am
ok…SO FRIST OF ALL GO READ A BOOK AND GET UR FACTS STRAIGHT………….. 4RM CALI TO TEXAS WAS ALL MEXICO..PREZ POLK DECIDED HE WANTED TO TAKE OVER. BAM!MEXICAN AMERICAN WAR. THEN MEXICANS COME BACK TO WHT WAS THEIRS IN THE FIRST PLACE N U LAME PPL COME AND SAY THEY ARE CRIMINALS? LOOK AT WHAT UR COUNTRIE DID FIRST AND THENTALK ABOUT CRIMINALS
July 5th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
The published article was written 3 years ago, and times have changed since then. Just today, the City Hall of Laredo, Texas was fired upon by members of Mexican Drug Cartels. Obviously, fences and walls are not working to keep the criminal element of Mexican society from spilling over our borders. Perhaps what is needed is National Guard Troops on the border to ensure the safety of American citizens.
Personally, I welcome Mexicans into the U.S. if their purpose is to work here and try to attain the American Dream – but this needs to be done legally just as an immigrant from any other country must do. For those illegals already here, I feel amnesty should be given, but they must go through the immigration process just like everyone else.
And no, the SouthWest is not Mexican land – it was once, but the U.S.A. won that war. The U.S.A. had all of the territory as far south as Mexico City, but returned the land back, leaving the RioGrande as the current border.
July 5th, 2010 at 6:19 pm
syD, agreed. The plight of all south American immigrants currently hinges on the corporate drug world. Just like any corporate agenda, drug cartels are only interested in the bottom line profit. They don’t concern themselves with collateral damage done to people who cannot afford to buy their products.
Impatient Americans use the drug war as an excuse to place America’s economic plight onto the backs of immigrants, whether they are legal or not. Americans need a scape goat that cannot fight back. That’s why BP is not getting the same treatment as illegals. BP has money and can buy their innocence. BP supplies a product even more addictive than drugs. So … pick your poison!
Displaced frustration targets not just Illegals, but Immigrants in general.
Conclusion: Until Americans recover a semblance of control over their lives and livelihood, immigrants are too convenient a target.
July 18th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
hey you bunch of illegal cabrones, go home, no te queremos aqui hijos de puta. Vayan para alla y quemense las pestanas arreglando a su pais so cabrones, por culpa de ustedes conosi a una cabrona mejicana, que gracias a dios se le murieron los putos padres. Me les cago en todas sus madres cabrones vayanse ya, me tienen cansado
July 27th, 2010 at 6:43 am
I am a Nigerian living in Nigerian, I really enjoyed ur all of ur epispodes, i took time to go thru the 56 comments despite the strains of my eyes, some us said meaningfully while most were just saying becos they want to say. I took much interest in syD’s comments thus: For those illegals already here, I feel amnesty should be given, but they must go through the immigration process just like everyone else.
Thats cool and peaceful enough, either by illegal or legal, almost every one in the US came from somewhere including ur incubent president Barrack,we have read how the Native Americans in South Darkota, Colorado etc were humilated and forced to the mountain plain, i believe those Indians migrated from South American and soujourned via Mexico to the present US which they re even seen as minorities today, God has Blessed America and such blessings or hands of fellowship should be extended to the less privildge.
But, due process should be followed entering a foreign land.
Cheers to all.

Now Obama administration is increasing the H1B, L1 visa fees tremendously to raise the funds for curbing this illegal immigration on Mexican border. By increasing these fees they are targetting Indian IT companies who send highly skilled workers to US. But this move will not satisfy the motive of raising funds for illegal immigration on Mexican border as the visa applications will reduce and the more and more work will be outsourced to India / China and other countries.
August 30th, 2010 at 3:06 pm
ummm i believe if it wasnt for us mexicans living here um the us wont evolve as planned you people need to under stand that every one is human with a very valued life and no matter what should not be put a lower value cause for one we also have right and saying that us mexicans come over here and commit our crimes and head back well some but not all its just like the us citzens do there crimes here in tha us and head to mexico so wats your point. screw the ice and all that shit thats happening in az we are here and we aint leaving we will alwayz find a way bk

September 2nd, 2010 at 10:11 pm
It is our country, our land, our rules. You must be granted permission to come to our country. Simple as that. Watch border wars on national geographic and you will realize that the MEXICANS are putting drugs and infected people her. Sorry stay on that side of the fence because we put it up to keep our country safer and keep what we don’t want OUT
September 7th, 2010 at 8:31 am
The problem with Mexican immigration is volume. We can only absorb so many very poor people before damaging our own economy, and that is in pretty bad shape already. And my family came to this country when it was a still a colony, legally.
March 3rd, 2012 at 7:30 am
To those of you that think these illegal immigrants are only taking the jobs that Americans refuse to do, I was working at a building under construction in East Boston yesterday. All I heard was Mexican being spoken. I recognized this language because I grew up and spent 37 years in and around Houston Tx. Anyway, these Mexicans were doing drywall, pipefitting, carpentry, and electrical work. There were also a few laborers. I’ll bet a few Americans were displaced by those guys. When I first relocated to this area,there were hardly any Mexicans here. Now they are saturating the northeast just like Texas. At least I am starting to get some good Mexican food!

who calls them american they aren’t american those are aliens, should stop racesism because nothing they own on that continent, those are just visitor and will all have to go back to their asencentral grounds.
September 17th, 2012 at 4:00 pm
Thank you Anonymous, you are the last comment I will allow in this post. So far, everyone has made it clear that they:
1- Have very short term memory, or fell asleep in History class.
—— You and I are the Illegal Aliens who replaced the indigenous people who arrived 20,000+ years ago. In fact, America, as we know it, was founded by Illegal Aliens from Europe, Spain, Africa, Middle East, Asia and the Orient. The original invaders came to this continent to escape some environmental disruption (like the ice age) or follow their food source. Slaves and servants were brought here by wealthier invaders who preceded them. Nothing has changed about that. Politics replaced environmental disruptions and Economics replaced food sources, but people always find a way to move to more accommodating places … before they die.
2- Forgot the Golden Rule.
3- Cannot put themselves in anyone else’s shoes or see both sides of a coin. There are crooks on both sides of the border who will exploit anyone’s kindness. But, the minute you start labeling immigrants as less than you, you have become psychopathic, because education is the only difference. America’s school system has been failing us for a long time..
4- Missed the part in Church about being your brother’s keeper. I find that so called “church people” are the least accepting of all. Too many “church people” are convinced that they are more special than others and display the most selfishness, when it comes to people coming to this country.
5- Racism is taught by unreasonable people who have low self esteem and display Psychopathic behavior … Look that up and learn something important.
6- Last, but not least, the American Continent, just like all the other continents, belong to Mother Earth and she will do what she wants with her weather, volcanoes and earthquakes. Those events move people too.
