October 2nd, 2009 A costly U.S.-Mexico border wall, in both dollars and deaths - By Robin Emmott Securing the United States’s border from illegal immigrants, terrorists and weapons of mass destruction “continues to be a major challenge,” says the United States Government Accountability Office in a new report.

It is an over simplification & a racist solution for a much deeper "problem". What, immigrants are welcome to the land of the free only if their labor is needed ? Then they cannot benefit from their labor ? Sounds like flawed logic to me. More importantly, the U.$. & Me$ican governments need to take a closer look at the human rights of undocumented workers ("illegal aliens") no matter where they come from. Mexicans along with other People of Color, built this country then helped maintain it by enlisting to fight or working in defense plants during war time.
