U.S. Border Fence Built By Illegal Aliens
Comedy routines once again became reality today when a California company agreed to pay a $5 million fine for employing illegal aliens to build the border fence between San Diego and Tijuana.

About a third of Golden State Fence Company's 750 workers are illegals and the company was repeatedly caught with lots of undocumented workers on the payroll, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The company's lawyers admit it all, but say this just proves there needs to be a guest-worker program.

As Molly Ivins says, "If we build a 12 foot wall, they'll build a 13 foot ladder."

"second it's unlikely an illegal could read & understand warming signs and notices posted by machines since it's all in English." - Sauer

Was just along the border for a few months and noticed the "wash hands" signage in restrooms was in Spanish only.

The swanky joints too.

Also noticed empty soap dispensers and towel bins...some with dust.

Sign of days to come?

I vote we give south Texas back to Mexico. We should keep everything from Austin and north and let him have San Antonio and Houston.

How about if we just take Austin & San Antonio, but they take the rest?  I really don't want Dallas.

Some of these posts are extremely mean in content.

It's like some of you are saying this man's life didn't count because he wasn't white, or maybe he was illegal (which none of you know to be a fact yet).

I'm embarassed for what some of you have said, and I'm sorry non-Tulsans can see your lack of empathy.  That's total self-centeredness at its worst.  It sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth to hear these things from Tulsans.

So true Teddy Jack, which is exactly why I decided a few months ago to steer clear of most political topics on TulsaNow; I prefer the nostalgia threads and neighborhood issues mostly as these don't tend to turn "ugly."

I suppose if we all had to use our real names (I do) and reveal our identities here, a lot of the nonsense and bigotry would not be posted.  Also keep in mind that this is a public forum, and anyone can register and post here, not just Tulsa-area residents.  Opinions expressed do not necessarily come from Tulsa citizens.
