George Bush and the Fence

Throughout the Bush administration the issue of combating illegal immigration. He has always been an advocate for fencing about 2100 miles of the United States/Mexico border. Even though the United States was built on the notion of illegal immigration. People coming over and stealing land rights is what America stands for. Now with the help of George Bush it has the chance of becoming a felony.
In Walls and Mirrors it talked about programs such as the Bracero program and how temporary worker programs are necessary. Newer politics are similar today. This country wants the cheap labor without the permanent residents. The reason for this fence is to keep people out. The government has no way to pay for this other then through a rise of taxes. It seems that not a lot has changed over the decades in dealing with illegal immigration. Below is a link on the article that talks about the fence.
