I agree that there are many other things that can be done to help solve the border problem. I agree with taking away the money. And one way of doing that is to have our school systems require that kids are here legally or no public school and no benefits that come from our public school systems. The money saved from that alone (yes I understand that is state level money) would be more than enough to build a wall/fence which could also use those drones and invisible fence monitors. And if nothing else, the wall/fence would stand as a symbol for the rule of law and that America is enforcing the border. But I believe it would do more than be just a symbol if border security is allowed to really enforce the border. It would create choke points and slow down the crossing of the border in many cases to give border security time to react and "get there" to apprehend those illegally crossing the border. Of course for this to work, catch, process and release has to stop.
