Guzzardi mentions the Israeli fence. When the fence was first proposed (something I thought the Israelis should have built twenty years before), the critics, usual leftist suspects, said it wouldn't work to deter suicide bombers. Suicide bombing dropped precipitously after the fence was built.

Without a doubt, determined illegals could still get into this country. But with a big enough fence, it would be a lot harder.

I have said this before in another couple of threads, and the fence crowd ignored it.

So, you want a fence, eh? We have one here. It is called 18 to 100 miles of sea water between the UK and Europe. A slightly more effective barrier than a poxy 30 foot fence, right? We still get between 600k and 1 million illegals coming in per year.
Italy has 50 to 200 miles of sea as their fence - they get the same sort of infulx - every year.
Don’t talk crap about fences. Boots on the ground!
