Stumble It!
One of the issues that in my opinion should be one of the top issues is immigration. As in illegal immigration and border fences with Mexico.
On the fence part of the issue - where it's built, it works. A new 3 mile section near Columbus New Mexico and Palomas Mexico is doing exactly what it was built to do.
"You hear it all the time: Fences don't work. Fences don't work," said Mark Winder, a transplanted New Englander and part-time deputy sheriff who lives on a small ranch outside Columbus, N.M., where a 3-mile stretch of wall was completed in August. "I live 2½ miles from the border, and the fence is working."
Many merchants agree in Palomas, once a sleepy farm town, now a booming haven for smugglers.
"The fence has destroyed the economy here," said Fabiola Cuellar, a hardware-store clerk on the main street of Palomas who used to sell supplies to the throngs heading north from here. "Things are going back to the way they were before."
As usual, different polls seem to give different answers as to what people think on illegal immigration. However, as Congress found out with the last set of immigration bills, people do care strongly about this issue. Folks like Hillary need to nail down their many opinions on the issue.
