Why "the fence" won't work

Walls work all over the world..... ... govt simply doesnt want them too so it puts out garbage excuses like this
Where have walls or fences anywhere in the world worked?

You're right. They should take down that damn fence they have around the White House. Doesn't do any good, nobody is watching anyway, all kinds of rift-raft running through there. The White House is the people's house, take down that fence!
 
Securing our borders would be easy if the people coming here knew they couldn't get jobs. They get jobs because people hire them knowing they are illegal and work for cheap. Stop that practice and they will stop coming. We won't stop the practice because we are not willing to jail the owners of the business owners who profit from the illegals coming here. It really is that simple.

The way to stop border crossings is with man power. Watch towers, tunnel scanning devices, air units, thermal imaging, boots on the ground. But we're too busy defending borders of other countries around the world to give a shit about ours.


Do both. Jail and fine the hell out of those who employ illegals AND put up a damned fence, manned 24/7/365.
Who's gonna pay for it, we're broke.
 
two mile wide mine field along the mexican border would do wonders
Not so good for the wildlife, cattle, ranchers, and Towns and Cities along our side of the Rio Grande though. And even if you did close all those towns down and ranchers, and kill all the animals... what about boats and planes?
Drones
Who's gonna pay for them, who's gonna fly them, and what good is a drone when you don't have authority to shoot down planes and sink boats?
 
Estimates of completing the 1,400 miles of border fence that remain fence free range from a low of 23 billion dollars to a high of 49 billion dollars. That does not include things like monitoring, radar, watch towers manpower, drones, etc. All that for a system that may not be efficient. Spend less than a billion accountents, prosecutors and prison cells for the folks who hire illegals and we can save wheel barrels and tractor trailer loads of money. Heck, we could make the program pay for itself with fines levied against the criminals who create the problem.
 
Ummm.Isnt there a fence or wall around every prison in the world? Yes, there is and they've worked very well.
The White House has a fence around it.
Sensors can be placed in the groung to detect tunneling.
 
Interesting that one of my links is gone.

WTH?

Luddly, no one cares what you have to say. You have already exibited that you are unreasonable and care more
for the illegals than the security of our country, Americans working, wages, benifits, perpetchuating the middle class , the country's security, disease, the rule of law, me, my children or my grandchildren you, your children and your grandchildren or anything else anyone can think of so.....
 
Remember when libs were whining that the portion of the fence we did build was killing illegals cause it forced them into the desert......even went so far as to establish water stations for the invaders.........by their own actions they admit its effectiveness

Yes. And...isnt mexico a friggin dessert?
 
Mexico uber alles. That is OK, Hispanics are being hateful invaders so it's all right, their brand of hate and arrogance is just a cultural thingy dingy. But when non Hispanics react to that same thingy, that is bad. it isn't hypocritical, its....MULTICULTURAL! Yeah, I like getting lectures about hypocrisy from Hispanics. It makes life a richer experience.

You compared fencing in a small distinct area to the border of the united states of america. You compared a well defended group of buildings for the white house that we spend billions a year to defend to thousands of miles of rough terrain in the middle of nowhere that includes the Rio Grande River. You made the rough equivalent of comparing a model of the globe in a box to putting a box around the earth.
