I vote for no wall.

Eliminate all forms of social welfare for non-citizens and watch them all go home. Issue resolved within 12-months.

I could defeat the wall with 100' of rope with a rock taped on one end, stick/pole with hook on the end, and knot tying expertise on the cub scouts level.

Why are we trying to reinvent the wheel.

Here is what sounds good to me.

A "multi-layered fence system" with the IDF's preferred design having three fences, pyramid-shaped stacks of barbed wire on the two outer fences, a lighter-weight fence with intrusion detection equipment in the middle, an anti-vehicle ditch, patrol roads on both sides, and a smooth strip of sand for "intrusion tracking".

How about those who support themselves via criminal activity? Drug selling, robbery, auto theft, etc.

Many of you seem to be concerned about tossing a rope over the top and climbing over.

http://www.latimes.com/local/l...-20180119-story.html

quote:
Military special forces based in Florida and U.S. Customs and Border Protection special units spent three weeks trying to breach and scale the eight models in San Diego, using jackhammers, saws, torches and other tools and climbing devices, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not authorized for public release.

A Customs and Border Protection report on the tests identifies strengths and flaws of each design but does not pick an overall winner or rank them, though it does point to see-through steel barriers topped by concrete as the best overall design, the official said.

The report recommends combining elements of each, depending on the terrain. The official likened it to a Lego design, pulling pieces from different prototypes.


quote:
The highly trained testers scaled 16 to 20 feet unassisted but needed help after that, said the official who described the assaults on the wall prototypes to the AP. Testers also expressed safety concerns about getting down from 30 feet.

Only once did a tester manage to land a hook on top of the wall without help, the official said. Tubes atop some models repelled climbing devices but wouldn't work in more mountainous areas because the terrain is too jagged.

The report favors steel at ground level because agents can see what is happening on the other side and holes can more easily be patched, the official said. With concrete, large slabs have to be replaced for even small breaches, which is time-consuming and expensive. Topping the steel with smooth concrete surfaces helps prevent climbing.

I was going to say this. The wall will only slow them down slightly. Unless there are border patrol officers there to pick them up, they get over and just keep going.

Why not a 1000% tariff on all goods coming from Mexico and the other countries as long as 1 illegal is in our country. This will pay for most of overhead they cause.

just build the wall - it will deter most and free up CBP to deal with the more determined ones

also, all the money to build the wall will be spent here in the US hiring Americans...

its a win-win

Eliminate all forms of social welfare. Period. Return to “Root hog or die.” and it might not take 12 months for the problem to go away.

I'm going to say something here, and some will not like it. A lot of Mexicans illegals come here and work like dogs for shit money. Why do you think they get hired. Those Mexicans wouldn't be going anywhere is welfare was eliminated.

and we need to severely punish employers who hire them

we need to make it untenable to live here, and we need to make it uncomfortable for those that hire them

take those two and the problem will solve itself

I think it would be possible to make a good try at it.... (Not that I'm recommending it as policy--just confirming the possibility.)
