How effective do think a prison wall would be if the guards were say 5 or 10 miles away. That's the situation you would have on most of the border. All it takes to go over a wall is a ladder and a couple of minutes.
First problem is paying for the cost of a ladder that can reach that height. Second problem is getting the ladder to the wall undetected. Third problem is getting on to the 40 foot wall undetected. Fourth problem is how to get down from the top of the wall. Fifth problem is getting to the other side undetected. The more people involved or using the ladder, the easier they are detected.
The wall will likely not be there alone. We will still have boarder security in place, drones and even cameras.
Most people that cross illegally for the first time hire someone to help, usually a coyote. Border towns are filled with them. What equipment is needed they will have it.
Walls like fences are only effective if you have guards nearby. Stores in small border towns stock whatever you need to make it across the border.
You people are all over this topic telling us how a wall won't work. Well if that's the case, then why does it bother you if we built it? After all, this is what you want.......don't you? The ability for these people to easily cross over?
So we can say we are at an agreement. The wall won't work, so put it up to make us happy and the illegals will still be flowing through like water, and that will make you people happy.
Everybody's happy. What a great way to start the new year.
YOU are the one who is all over the place. For example when I talked about the Americans who were on drugs as a reason that we have to fix that, you wanted a debate as whether or not ADD / ADHD were real conditions.
If you had an IQ higher than your shoe size, you would understand that I enjoy the Freedoms and Liberties our forefathers fought, bled and died for.
If you eliminate the incentives for foreigners to come here, they won't enter the U.S. That is NOT what you're after. You are on the side that had a problem with the Americans Right to own private property. You and your ilk have been attacking it ever since this little immigration battle began. You are on the side invoking the great successes of communist countries, dictatorships and countries at war with these nutty walls. You hate private property Rights, Liberty, and you have no use for the free market. I'm against the socialist utopia you are working toward.
Insofar as the immigrants, if you went back to the way America was designed to work, you would not have a problem with them. And, son, you've spent so much time calling people names, I realize that you will be too damn stupid to read between the lines and understand that I gave you an unequivocal answer to your question about my attitude toward immigration and what I expect out of EVERY foreigner.
