Or we could simply enforce existing laws and fine the hell out of employers who hire illegal aliens; removing the incentive for coming to the US in the first place......but hey....lets spend tens of billions of dollars on something that won't work.

Would you consider The money spent through the TVA to have been a waste?

I can tell you right now,patrolling big flat bodies of water,will work better than patrolling the scrubbush and ravines that are along that part of the border.

I do definitely agree with you about enforcing laws already in place,and fining and charging crimes against those that hire illegals though.

Still need walls and obstructions at the borders.

I was ready to upvote an A WANT post until you had to throw in the company line.

Hydro is proven tech that pays for itself. Solandra (sic?) was a waste of money that didn't work.

You couldn't build one dam on the Rio like the dams on the TN River for 10 billion.

In 1918 it cost 47 million to build Wilson.

However these dams pay for themselves over and over. It's an intriguing idea. Someone actually thinking outside the box for a change.

I agree, but is that the only incentive you would cut off?
