1)I said mostly contained. This evident by the fact that 2007-2010 only 220 Americans were killed as a result of the Mexico drug war and a vast majority of them were killed in Mexico. (I got these figures from your first source/link). And even though those deaths are tragic the majority of them would have still occurred with a border fence because most the people were killed while traveling in Mexico. If your goal is to really catch illegal narcotics then a border wall is a bad idea. You put up a wall and then they dig underground tunnels or use boats. A better solution is to deploy drones and have them direct police forces to illegal activities. Not only does this solution result in the capture of more narcotics and narcotics transporters but the drones and police unlike a wall can be diverted to combating narcotics smuggling that occur4s underground and by boat. And I still postulate that it's a waste of money and that if people want to use drugs then they should be able to; who are you to say what I can put into my body? Not only that but you want to make yourself poorer in order to prevent people from doing drugs (which doesn't harm you one bit). You get poorer because you have to pay via taxes for the police and jail space for all the drug dealers etc. that you arrest. 2)K the invasion aspect doesn't hold water. 3)1) a) Mexicans are still going to have babies regardless of not if they can enter the US meaning overpopulation if it occurs will still occur with a border fence b) The Census projects that even with immigration by 250 our population will be 400million that population density is 20 times lower than what Japan has low and even lower than what most countries in the world are currently at. 2) I agree too many people living there will but strain on water supplies. However the thing is is that if we block immigration then all the people in Mexico will be stuck in Mexico and water supplies will still be strained. Will immigration some of those people will leave the desert and head up north. 3) As I already posted illegal immigrations pay more int axes then they use in social services. 4) Same thing as #3. 5) They are still able to compete for those jobs in Mexico, at least when they are in America they pay taxes and subsides poor Americans. 6) The crime rate for illegal immigrants is 5 times lower than an American citizen; meaning illegal immigration results in lower crime rates. http://www.azcentral.com... http://blogs.wsj.com... http://chirla.org... http://www.immigrationpolicy.org... http://answers.google.com... http://www.npg.org... 7) Same as #3 8) Same as #5 9) Illegal immigrants would be poorer if they stayed in Mexico, meaning a border fence will increase poverty. 10) Same as #3 4)So you need to provide evidence that the border fence will create hundreds of billions in benefits because that's how much money will be lost due to its impacts on immigration. 1)This is a Broken window logical fallacy. http://en.wikipedia.org... 2)Same as above. 3)I'll agree that a fence would stem losses from the Mexican drug war, but the effects would be so minimum that it wouldn't even be noticed, considering that not even a hundred people in the past half-decade have been killed in America due to the Mexican drug war. 4)Hm the transportation of pests from Mexico to America could damage agriculture, however I'm under the assumption that any dangerous pests in Mexico have already been transported and moved into America; and with the use of pesticides I doubt the damages would be very large.
