Even Newt Gingrich said the wall was just a "campaign device".

And many Muslim immigrants who are competing with them. This is the Adidas shirt near the border that Breitbart said was an "Islamo-Mexican terror rug."

The entire 1000 mile Texas-Mexico border is the Rio Grande river.

I have, as of yet, heard a decent story from my Republican friends as to which side of the river the wall would be built on and how they would resolve the seemingly obvious international water rights issues.

One of our friends said she would build the wall right down the middle the entire length of the border.

good times.

In the sectors we looked at we would take advantage of the terrain. In some cases, the wall was well inside the US. In other cases, it was much closer to the international border. Our plans called for road improvements on both sides where the wall was set back from the border. Expect day/night cameras, microwave beam break technologies, seismic sensors, and more command and control centers.

We have this technology that allows us to move water from one place to another. We call the technology pipes. We also have a technology we often use with walls and other physical barriers. We call them doors or gates. I bet if we put our minds to it we could come up with a variety of solutions to allow access to the river without allowing northbound invaders access to the US.

I graduated before the invention of the playoffs. I played for Bob Heil. Dick Roll has done an amazing job with few kids to pick from. Unlike the MAC schools, Lehman fields a soccer team as well. We used to have 50 or 60 kids come out for football, now 35 is a good year. I usually take in a game or two each year. They'd fair better in the playoffs, but Minster, and Ft. Recovery, plus Covington, are all in the same region.
