U.S. Immigration Fence?

Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) proposed legislation that would call for the creation of an $8 billion, 2,000-mile fence on the U.S.-Mexico border. What do you think?

Joan Novak, Postal Clerk
"Can it be a 2,000-mile-long picket fence? That would at least look nice and seem neighborly."


Luke Hurley
, Tree Surgeon
"Building a fence along the border is a great way to keep fat, out-of-shape Mexicans out of our country."


Curtis Boyd, Fire Marshall

"$8 billion?! I know some day laborers that could put up that fence for under 60 bucks as long as you don't tell them what it's for."
