For those who do not support due to funding. The amount of jobs this will create is worth it. We will be able to get donations from the private sector to build this. And the scamming machines are ones already in place in airports

Thank you Political, also the money for the boarder will in the end pay for itself due to the less money needed for crimes investigations, immigration trials, and the countless humans murdered by these cartells

To clarify, is the bill predicated on an assumption of a certain amount in private donations? Should it perhaps be amended to include a provision that it only becomes operational upon receipt of donations in X amount?

Beth there are certain people (some billionaire in Las Vegas plus more) who are will to donate, also any federal spending would go right to the cremation of a job

I'm asking if private funding is intended to be a prerequisite for the bill. If so, I believe that should be made explicit. If not, we assume its eventuality at our budgetary peril.

We already spend more on the border than other federal enforcement agencies. That's why I didn't support that gang of 8 bill. Adding to that is just wasteful spending going towards restricting people rather than feeding people.

Conservatives, do you realize how expensive this is? We already have a budget problem.

The border is about 2,000 miles. There are about 1 million people crossing per day. It's impossible to enforce. Forget it. It would cost a huge amount of money which could be used better other places.

Privately funded a cause like this will get donors

And I doubt it would get donors.

All bags and personal items can be search for any hidden drugs as well as a person can be scanned to see if they have a drug balloon (idk the correct terms) inside them IF SUSPICIOUS

What does "if suspicious" mean?

What does "scanned" mean? Backscatter scan (won't catch drugs hidden internally)? Full-on CAT scan? Internal cavity search? How much discretion will officers have to determine if someone is suspicious, and what level of review will apply?

"Suspicious" will inevitably end up meaning low income people and/or minorities. It is just asking for discrimination.

Hayley is right, and welcome to the virtual congress, congresswomen Hayley and Bethany.

As secretary of homeland security I need to do something about the drugs coming from Mexico. These drug dealers are nothing short of terrorists in Southern Texas

A secured border is a fence? Steel? concrete?

Ok just trying to make sure it's worth the money and guards all along the border?

A steel boarder is absolutely insane. Not doable

10/15/13 3:27 pm

Privately funded. For a cause like this we should get donors

What are you basing this hypothetical on?

Wait -- is the bill to erect a fence and assemble a security force, or is it an advisory panel to supervise it? If the latter, what incentive will a private entity have to undertake this without payment from the government?

A solution to immigration and drug trafficking,
1.) The creation of a secured boarder between USA and Mexico
2.) Every current customs with double as an immigration center
3.) All belonging are eligible to be searched for drugs

4.) all persons are eligible for scanning to see if they are caring drugs on/in them
