Does this convince you we need to build the fence and limit immigration/movement between Mexico and the U.S.?

Since 1980, a treaty between the United States and Mexico has permitted either country to refuse to extradite citizens in the absence of assurances that the death penalty will not be imposed. Until two years ago, American prosecutors frequently agreed not to seek the death penalty in order to have fugitives returned to their jurisdictions. In October 2001, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that life imprisonment violates the country's constitution, and Mexico now interprets its treaty obligations in light of that decision. It is no longer sufficient for a prosecutor to waive the death penalty; now assurances of a determinate sentence must be given. Currently, prosecutors must try to win extradition by charging a fugitive with a lesser offense that doesn't match the seriousness of the crime. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1... http://feinstein.senate.gov/03Releases/r... http://feinstein.senate.gov/03Releases/r...

READ THE ARTICLES ON THE LINKS to understand the gravity of the need to build the fence stop the free movement between the U.S. and Mexico.

What's the problem? Just sentence to 100 years and maybe 25 years off for good behavior. Naw. They don't like t get caught in texas. That is insane and the last straw unless you can do what i stated up there.

It's rather funny that all these different people from all these different countries can get into Mexico and roam around, since they have such STRICT immigration laws. Must be a money making machine for them. I told about the family from Brazil that flew in, paid $3,000 and was lead to a Border Guard and put up for the night and released in the country, not deported and told to return in a month, yea.

Funny the $3,000 figure keeps popping up that's aton of money, maybe the feds could collect it and allow anybody in. Figure about 30 million times 3,000 is 30 BILLION. You could buy a bunch of stuff with that.

Anyone injured by one should sue the government. build the fence, the democrat call of amnesty is just going to lure more in. There is no way we can take 50 million in.

Mexico needs to give it up and pay. Take care.

So between the millions of illegals criminals in jail here or the 3 americans in jail in Mexico, Mexico is asking us not to extradite them? Gee, I wonder why...

I imagine that the fence will probably built by illegals, now wouldn't that be ironic. And once the fence is built, we'll just wait for them to start tunneling under it. Oh wait, they already have hidden tunnels. Any more bright ideas?

a fence across a rural countryside is a waste of money
a fence with no one to monitor it will do nothing
bring our troops home from Iraq and protect our borders
enforce laws concerning hiring of illegals
don't throw away money on a fence spend the dollars on things that will actually help

only a fool thinks a fence will help
hel* my yard is fenced and i still can't keep the neighbors dog out of my garden

i hate illegal immigrants..(thumbs down but so what) they claim we have rights now because we are here, well then head to jail cause you just broke 1 law. and if your not paying taxes like the rest of us go to jail again. >_< not racest or anything just dont like illigal immigrants

Screw the fence as fences never work. People will find a way in and a fence will cost billions year after year forever.

One national ID (because the states muck it up), employers have to call in and verify IDs, spot checks on employers, and tax records are included in the checks. If an employer is caught hiring illegals the fine would be HUGE. No license or access to health care or government services if illegal.

That is what other countries do. Problem solved and no fence needed.
