U.S. Must Build Concrete Border Fence, Says King

Posted by Geoff Holtzman on July 3, 2009 |

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) checks in live from the Arizona-Mexico border where he explains that if the U.S. is serious about securing its southern border, it must get to work on a concrete border fence. King says that vehicle barriers currently being used at the border aren’t keeping illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States. The Congressman adds that a fence made of concrete, not steel, is the way to go because it would be harder to breach and wouldn’t cost more to build. (:37)

   Rep. King is a gift to the pro-reform, pro-legalization, pro-solution side of this debate. He keeps helping! A wall…hahahaha. Thanks Congressman. Next he’ll say we can actually drive 12,000,000 people from our country!

   Rep. King should look at the facts before he shoots off his mouth. The border wall has already bled the US treasury by $3 billion. The steel walls that he does not like cost over $3 million per mile, but the concrete ones that he wants cost $12 million per mile in South Texas. Guess he’s not a fiscal conservative.

   Rep. King’s frustration is felt by the overwhelming majority
   of U.S. Citizens.We need a militarized border, its undeniable
   that third world overpopulation is sending human waves of
   people illegally into every first world country that can not
   control its border! President Eisenhower deported a million
   illegal aliens a month during his presidency and
   Carlos Chavez applauded because it helped Legal Hispanics!
   Pay now or suffer later!
