I don't really care. I don't believe the fence would work, in any case. Mexicans build fences, and they certainly know how to tear them down, go over them, cut holes in them, dig under them, etc. What WOULD work would be: 1. Get a REAL, biometric US ID system in place. 2. Criminalize and PUNISH employers of illegals, severely. With no prospect of employment, the illegals woud not come here. The one's already here would return to Mexico and parts south on their own. They'd HAVE to, to survive. Maybe set up a program to help them do so.

If Republican candidates were politically savvy, they would start building that fence with their own hands. That would definitely galvanize the electorate and help them retain congressional control.

ESCONDIDO – With supporters calling it an historic day for the city and the United States, the Escondido City Council by a 3-2 vote Wednesday evening enacted an ordinance banning landlords from renting to illegal immigrants. By so doing, it becomes the largest city in the nation to pass such a law, one that opponents say will be challenged in court and hope will never be enforced. Officially, the ordinance will go into effect on Nov. 18, but opponents, including the American Civil Liberties Union, are now working on a lawsuit that will likely seek an injunction banning the city from enforcing the law until the issue is fully litigated. “This ordinance will undoubtedly improve our image, our reputation, and certainly our quality of life,” Councilman Sam Abed said. Abed and council members Marie Waldron and Ed Gallo voted for the measure. Mayor Lori Holt-Pfeiler and councilman Ron Newman voted against it.
