Time to create a Border Guard patterned after the Coast Guard. Train everyone as both Infantry and MPs. Build forts along the border to station the troops. Then have the troops start working on building the wall. 20’ high, wide enough for hummers across the top, then put a 15’ fence on the Mexican side.
plenty of land mines, guard dogs, quad .50s on the towers, 81mm mortars, M1A1s and so forth.
“then put a 15’ fence on the Mexican side”
A friend took me to see the impressive steel border fence on the Mexican side. He said that after dark people set up ladders on both sides and charged for people to cross over. They were then picked up on the other side by people who drove them into California proper. We can’t see that with drones? (This was in 2009.)
Walls don’t work.
