Mexican Border Fence

Once again our elected officials reveal their brilliance.

They have voted to build a 370-mile fence.

Our border with Mexico is approximately 1,969 miles long.

This would be like driving a 2 X 4 in your yard in hopes that it would keep out trespassers!

In areas where there is a partial fence agents discovered a tunnel more than 2,000 feet long and 85 feet beneath the surface that was being used by drug smugglers.

Hmmmmm!

Question:

Why is NO ONE sneaking into Mexico?

Mexico gained its independence from Spain September 16, 1810.

But why are many Mexicans living in homes with dirt floors, no septic system, no running water, and no electricity?

Why has the United States, which is only 34 years older than Mexico, advanced so much, while our southern neighbor remains in poverty?
