Border Fence Arguments

Today I researched arguments for and against the ever controiversial Border Fencing issue. To summarize, the main point for the side that is for raising a fence, their argument is that if we don't we are only sending messages to mexico that it is fine to illegally enter our country, that we dont really care. But what is really happening is that they are filling up all ready over crowded prisons and putting pressure on the economy by pressuring lower wages and driving others out of the job market.

Arguments for not putting up the fence include the fact that if we do that will not stop illegals from entering our country. All that will happen is that they will find some more clever and possibly more dangerous way to enter such as tunneling or illegal boating.
