Did I just hear Lou say we need Mexico’s permission

[Reciprocity]

to build a fence on our border?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

1. Yes. Lou Dobbs said it was put in the last minute as an Amendment. This is

bizarre.

[Lib Grrrrl]

3. Don't Matter

show me a fifty-foot tall, 10-foot thick wall...and I will show you a 51-foot ladder and a 12-foot long tunnel.

[sadiesworld]

4. Actually, it DOES matter.

There's that little matter of national sovereignty.

[DBoon]

8. didn't NAFTA get rid of that quaint concept?

I'm sure a "free trade" agreement would have something to say about a fence on the border.

[sadiesworld]

16. Then someone needs to fess up...

I'm sure our esteemed leaders will be enlightening us anytime now. :eyes:

[Reciprocity]

7. I respectfully disagree

It makes a hell of a lot of difference where the walls are.

[hiley]

2. yes

:banghead:

[Reciprocity]

5. Looks like I have been pledging allegiance to the wrong flag.

[treestar]

6. I can just see us saying Mexico needs ours to put up a fence on

theirs, should it ever come to that.

The Rio Grande is a "fence."

Nature provides for most of this.

[AlCzervik]

9. and did you see his face when he found out it was spector that

introduced it? Priceless.

[Reciprocity]

10. Missed that. I’m making dinner so just hearing him for now.

[Fridays Child]

11. Sen. Kyl told CNN that a last-minute provision was added to the bill...

...requiring consultation with the Mexican government before a fence is erected on the border with Mexico.

:popcorn:

[ComerPerro]

12. Lou Dobbs is a lying, sleazy, Republican asshole. Its probably a lie

[sadiesworld]

13. It's coming in from other sources.

[kittykitty]

14. NOT! Arlen Specter introduced it at the last minute. Who greased his

palm?

[jsamuel]

15. It's called diplomacy.

I know we Americans are used to doing whatever we want when we want to, but sometimes it pays off in the long run to CONSULT the countries around you before you do something. No one is forcing us to talk to Mexico except ourselves. We are still sovereign.

[NNN0LHI]

17. Oh, some patriotic Republican like Jeff Sessions will step up and take...

...credit for having that removed. Count on it. And Lou Dobbs will tell him what a great American he is for doing a wonderful job against them pro-immigrant weenies in congress.

When one party runs everything it is all a Kabuki Dance. Nothing is real.
