Liberal reasons why a border fence is unbuildable
Liberals have to come up with some reason for not securing our borders. Even as they welcome illegal aliens, they still can't quite go the final step and say, "We want a country without any borders," knowing what a contradiction in terms that is. So instead they have to come up with other reasons why the border can't be secured. In a classic piece of agitprop from the Washington Post, have a look at the reasons why a border fence or wall can't be constructed:
Any wall-building effort would cost billions of dollars and encounter a variety of obstacles...
Overall, more than $7 billion has been spent to build what is now almost 653 miles of Southwest border fencing -- costing nearly $5 million per mile in some spots -- nearly half in Arizona.
The costs could rise substantially if extensive new fencing was built, since it would be in increasingly remote regions without roads and in mountainous terrain, said Marc Rosenblum, deputy director of the U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute.
You never see liberals worrying about the cost of any other domestic program – not of Obamacare, not the stimulus, not high-speed rail, or any other project that costs tens or hundreds of billions of dollars. But suddenly, when $7 billion is spent, liberals are suddenly concerned about cost! Maybe you could even say that when it comes to spending on border security, liberals are "fiscal conservatives"!
The hurdles include environmental and engineering problems ...
