Did anyone see the Penn and Teller show where they hired some illegal workers for the day to build a replica of the proposed fence - then set the guys to get past it - took about 15 seconds I think, anyway less than the Minute!

Re: Immigration bill suffers defeat
We can't sustain a high population growth rate. Most of the places with lots of space don't have a lot of water and in fact are facing shortages.
There are so many things that are wrong with the infrastructure of the country; political, cultural and physical infrastructures ALL need fixing.
* Environmental policy
* Xenophobia
* USCIS bloat
* DHS bloat
* corporations buying the government
.... it's endless.
We import more stuff than we export. People watch their jobs go overseas and worry. High tech companies lobby for visas for their employees, but very few other skilled workers have any route to enter the US, even if they are desperately needed.
Madness.
