Most Surprising Facts Revealed and Reflection


I think I was most surprised on how much of the fence was built wrong in the first place. The golf course between the border and the fence was ridiculous and so was the nature preserve being halfed.
Then the section built onto Mexico land, instead of one the actual border. Is there no one being paid to find and mark the border?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. We have our government do so much and most of these people do their jobs poorly and do them for the wrong reasons. A good chuck of our laws created by congress are for Corporations, not for the common good. The fence is great for those corporations.

So much money wasted when we could be bettering both our nations, so Mexicans don't feel the need to cross over. We go into countries on the other side of the world, spending billions because those countries have oil reserves, but then we allow Mexico to be a "3rd world country." It's messed up. We should help Mexico and it's people, and we should not enact laws that hurt people more than help them. No matter what people they are, US citizens or not.

So much money is being spent on hating people we have no reason to hate.

There were some great facts. I liked the one about how much the fence has cost and what it could have paid for.

Plus where the 20+ terrorists who have commented terrorist acts have entered the US - None from Mexican border.
