The Big Mexican Wall...

Am I the only Liberal who is all for building the wall along the Mexican Border that the conservatives want? Building it would accomplish a few things at once. 1) By agreeing to build it right now it would help get the immigration bill passed. 2) It would be a huge public works program that would provide hundreds if not thousands of jobs in some of the hardest hit states in the housing bubble. 3) While I don't think it will stop illegal immigrants from crossing the boarder, it will take away a huge talking point for right wing politics. No more chants of "Build the Wall, Build the Wall"

To me the idea of it is silly, but sometimes silly things can be used to good ends.
