Sarah and the Donald Advocate Deporting Millions of Immigrants, Costing “Gazillions” of Dollars

Even Bill O’Reilly was amazed that Trump and Palin would suggest deportation of millions of immigrants at a cost of “gazillions” of dollars.

Palin was sporting a new hairdo, but she’s not changed anything about her knowledge of anything remotely related to current issues.

 

Palin references the “common sense” plan of building a fence.  We already spent Billions of dollars constructing 670 miles of single layer border fence.  That fence was built 6-9    years ago, and it cost tax payers 2.4 Billion Dollars.  The current plan for building another 700 more miles of fence is proposed to be a double layer fence.  That proposal will surely cost many more Billions of dollars because it is (1) double not single layer, (2) includes 30 more miles than the first, and (3) the cost of construction is much higher now than 6-9 years ago.

Moreover, there are 1954 miles of border between the United States and Mexico.  Even if the 700 mile fence was added, that would still leave 584 miles where people could simply drive or walk across the border.

Even a fence is no guarantee that illegal immigrants won’t come into America.

There’s a fundamental misunderstanding about what a physical barrier—even the triple-layer fencing in San Diego–actually does or doesn’t do for the agency charged with building fencing and securing the border. All it really does is buy you time where a crosser could otherwise quickly escape or assimilate. None of the fencing is impenetrable. People will eventually dig under it or cut through it or go over it, but it gives you enough time to respond and apprehend them. 

When Fox News recognizes that it is unrealistic to build a fence to keep illegal immigrants from coming into this country, it seems that Sarah Palin and the Donald should question their own common sense.
