The really frustrating thing was that American defense contractor Raytheon built the first Saudi fence around Yemen.
And it built the small sensor laden open fence along the U.S. - Mexico border. Its failure was that border patrol was never deployed to pick up people it detected, making it useless.
But a firm that can be paid by Saudis to build the border fence Americans dream of having isn’t allowed to build anything close to that on our southern border.
We should simply build military bases along the border & use the land in between them for training. The cartels & coyotes will give up when they keep running into platoons of soldiers playing war games along the border.
