re: #197 sagehen

I read the article; he doesn’t mind it being on his property, what he’s pissed off about is it’s not monitored and the wall doesn’t do much without human patrols. Also, when the border patrol does drive through, they don’t close the gates and his different kinds of cattle are getting all mixed together so his annual branding and vaccinations and separating them out for breeding takes 3 times longer than it used to.

People in the border regions of AZ and Texas used to be living in a totally isolated backwater, now they find themselves in the front line of a massive drug war and wave of migration and smuggling.

I can understand that they are getting fed up, but the only solution is a comprehensive solution to immigration policies, drug laws and economic/political relations with our southern neighbors and not just slogans like “round ‘em up!” and “build the wall and make them pay for it!”
