Candidate suggests U.S. could mine Mexican border

I personally would think motion sensing guns would be a better idea

What a dumb idea. How would the Goverment explain all the drunk, dead, tourists that got blown up at the border, trying to sneak across into Tiajuana at 3 am to buy hookers and weed?

Stupid Idea is Stupid.

Sometimes reading the actual article is a good idea. He suggested no such thing.

Build a moat. If they mine the border, they should do it as an open-pit mine. When they're done mining, they could fill the hole with water and crocodiles.

I read the article you are correct.

I say they should take a hint from monty python. Build a bunch of caves around the US-Mexican border. Create altered bunnies into killer bunnies like in the Monty Python and the holy grail and the problem will solve itself. If it can keep fictional knights with imaginary horses at bay. I'm sure it could do the same for Mexican illegals.

Am I the only one thinking that if you make crossing via the surface impossible, the Mexicans will pull a Gaza and dig tunnels to reach the US?

That's a bit of a cop out. If he ain't advocating it, why even bring it up? It's not like the media will ignore that kind of inflammatory nonsense.

Bit of a drama queen, really. Riding the coat tails of someone elses crap and can't even man up to take some credit?

Empty mouthpiece.

He is simply repeating what he heard from others he is NOT advocating it, but your right he should have not have brought it up the news media are whores for this kind of stuff.

Fox News likes doing that. Their crazy commentators say something crazy, News reports, "People are beginning to say [something crazy]..."

I believe this has been the nature of the news media for a long time

Realize this was not advocated just discuss.
There are many problems here,
Might be an idea?
Might be dangerous for the cattle and horses?
They don't read warning signs.
Just a thought.

We did. It's called the All American Canal and illegal aliens frequently drown in it whist trying to illegally enter the USA. IMHO this serves as a very effective barrier to criminals entering the USA.
