| #12 It's not BS. They will spend another $12 billion to fortify a 900 km border. How much is the US spending on the 3100 km Mexican border? |

| #11 They are planning it. That does not mean that they will do it. An effective fence needs more than chain link, posts, marcelled and concertina wire, plus hog rings, etc. This is just a BS line of the Saudis. |

| #7 I guess this means the Saudis don't realize that if they put up a 50 foot fence, the terrorists will just use a 51 foot ladder to get over it (quoting some Dem congressman). |

| #6 Cancel the fence, just put 200 miles of dessert there instead. |

| #5 is the fence to keep people from coming in or to keep them from going out? |

| #1 Stop the fence! Free passage for all! As they say here in Spanish-speaking Tucson "Humanitarian Aid is Never a Crime"... /sarcasm off |
