I have spent untold hours viewing YouTube videos in the past few weeks. Among my most favorite are those showing the construction of the border wall along the Mexican border.
There is an intrinsic beauty to watching this process. It is like watching a ballet. The sound of machinery blends with an orchestra. One can visualize the dollars being spent on each foot of the barrier being installed. The real question is whether or not it will achieve the goal of protecting the United States from invasion.
Yesterday, I found a video of Mexican Coyotes climbing over the wall using a rope ladder. The key to this method was to hire an ex-ATT pole climber with special shoes who could shimmy up the steel posts to throw a hook over the top with the rope ladder attached. Once the ladder was secure, it was simple for others to climb the steps, Flip over the top plate, and shimmy down into the USA.
It took me just a few more minutes to find videos of others climbing the wall without ropes or ladders. I guess the sensors in the wall will alert the Border Patrol to the location, and they can then drive there to find the person.
No matter how one looks at this barrier system, traffic flow is slower. Compare a single individual sneaking across the border to the recent massive surge of people storming the agents.
I am certain that even the Great Wall of China, as has Hadrian’s Wall in Scotland, has been breached.
Great Wall of China
Hadrian’s Wall is a World Heritage Site in the beautiful Northumberland National Park. Popular with walkers along the Hadrian’s Wall Path and Pennine Way
Walls have been built throughout history to deter people from invading a country. As countries fail, the walls become insignificant, as will the Great Wall of the USA. Someday, travel agencies will offer trips to view this wall, just as agencies lead groups of people on the China Wall.
In the meantime, I will enjoy watching the Dance of the Builders as they progress toward completion
Tina Griego is a Free-Lance reporter for the Denver Post.
She writes some really good stuff, and she is a strong advocate for LEGAL Immigration. Not Democrat, not Republican, not Liberal, and not Conservative. Just the facts by a good reporter.
“What if they left?”
What if 20 million Illegal Aliens Vacated America? I, Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News have written a column titled, “Mexican Visitors’ Lament.”
I interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week Hernandez said, “Illegal aliens pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes. What happens to your country’s economy if 20 million people go away?”
Hmmm, I thought, what would happen?
So, I did my due diligence, buried my nose as a reporter into the FACTS I found below It’s a good question…it deserves an honest answer.
Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders. What would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? This may surprise you!
In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.
It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone. Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67% dropout/flunk rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. Denver’s 4% unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned ‘home,’ the U.S. economy would return to the Rule of Law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage.
Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.
No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids.
Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually and would vacate our country
In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the ’18th StreetGang’ would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!
America’s economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to the aliens’ home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America’s economy which currently suffers a $30 trillion debt.
More than $30 TRILLION !!
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.
Americans wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country – brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders. Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities’ greenhouse gasses.
Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas, to San Diego, California, in what the New York Times called, ‘colonias’ or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, roads, electricity, or any kind of sanitation.
The New York Times reported them to be America’s new ‘ Third World ‘ inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; it’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)
We already invite a million people into our country legally/annually, more than all other countries combined- with growing anarchy at our borders.
It’s time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life. Interesting statistics below.
Here are 12 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America, and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:
1. $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens (that’s Billion with a ‘B’)
2. $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
3. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
4. $3 Million Dollars ‘PER DAY’ is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens. That’s $1.2 Billion a year.
5. 28% percent of all federal prison inmates are illegal aliens.
6. $190 billion dollars are spent each year on illegal aliens for welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
7. $200 billion dollars per year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
8. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US
9. During the year 2005, there were 8 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our southern border with as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from other terrorist countries. Over 10,000 of those were middle-eastern terrorists. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin, crack, guns, and marijuana crossed into the U.S. from the southern border.
10. The National Policy Institute, estimates that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion, or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.
11. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $65 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin, to their families and friends.
12. The dark side of illegal immigration: Nearly one million sex crimes are committed by illegal immigrants in the United States!
Total cost – a whopping $538.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR !kri
As in all wars, the battles rage on. One side sends a missile and blows up a pipeline. The opposing side retaliates by sending a drone army to inundate the enemy with missiles. In the war, I engage in with the backyard squirrels I lost the last battle, but it was not the final skirmish.
In my last attempt to deter the athletic little creature, I filled the squirrel guard with Styrofoam to prevent him from scooting up the pole under the guard. It took him several weeks to figure it out, but once he did, it was only a matter of a day or two before he succeeded in hollowing the tube with a portal. Luckily, I watched him do it and now envision another modification that will be more robust. I will win the next round of this ongoing challenge.
