The Rio Grande river separates the USA and Mexico. banana

The Dam would provide free electric power to homes and industry in Mexico if they build and maintain it. That’s a nice incentive for Mexicans living in Mexico!

Border patrol could cover more area faster and they would have more fun riding around in speed boats than jeeps. They could ski or fish during slack times. Nice boat perks like that would guarantee less turnover too.

Here's a novel idea why don't our elected officials just place guards at the borders and really enforce the laws which are in place.

Naw, I'm fine here where I was born.. Let them follow the proper channels to become inhabitants of the US of A... I have nothing personal against them, I just wanna see em start paying taxes, and be subject to the same fines, and jail time that I am... It shouldn't even be an issue, but it is, and has been for years..

galrads: They will need to ride something that floats to get across a flooded Rio Grande so they could be called boat people or something else that floats but I won’t say it here.
