Without a serious fence system for the Border Patrol to actually watch and guard, the BP is forced to “defend in depth.” The southern border is 2,019 miles from sea to sea. If the Border Patrol check points are 40 miles from the border, agents must roam across an area of 80,000 square miles seeking illegal immigrants. This is a fool’s errand, deliberately futile. 80,000 square miles is the size of Idaho or Kansas.
The same number of border patrol agents actually guarding a physical barrier means that every inch of the border is under observation at all times. For example, anybody carrying a ladder to the fence will be seen, and stopped by nearby Border Patrol agents who react to their approach. That is why the San Diego fence is so effective. It needs to be extended across the entire border. Or, we can keep play-acting at border security, with the Border Patrol playing Keystone Kops across 80,000 square miles of rough scrub land terrain.

Yep. This is so the chickens don’t come home to roost.

FIVE layers on the fence. We’re fighting over TWO.
And I’m not hearing the word “virtual”, either. I suspect anyone who crosses their fence will be executed - no first class ticket back home.

70 years ago, before American Petroleum Engineers discovered oil there, the National Treasury of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was literally kept under the King’s bed.
Have we arrived at the point where we are less competent and less high-tech then a group of nomadic Bedouins...?
Abraham Lincoln said that is America were ever destroyed the destructive force would come from within rather than from the outside.
It appears he was correct.

RE: RACISM!/s
The Arabs ( who actually WERE doing slave trading for over a thousand years ) could care less about the word.
The word only touches the nerve of WHITE folks in the West.

Cannot comprehend how they have the capability for fence building

But, but we have been told a fence just wouldn’t work for the US.

If you go to Saudi Arabia ( and many parts of the Middle East like UAE, Kuwait or Dubai ), you will see that MOST of the ones who built their infrastructure are FOREIGNERS.
Filipinos for instance, make up a significant portion of their workers, engineers, technicians, etc.
In fact, one of the biggest source of money for the Philippines is FOREIGN REMITTANCES, mostly from the Middle East.

Oh. I know. The Saudis do not work. They are in the 19tg century on many things. And they import all workers including defense
But to be able to build a fence, planning it, hiring workers, even thinking of it. A border fence. What a marvel.
It will be like a wonder of the world!
We could never do such a thing here

The Arabs ( who actually WERE doing slave trading for over a thousand years and sold many of the African slaves they kidnapped to the Western world ), could care less about the word.

The two words — POLITICAL CORRECTNESS are never used in their vocabulary.
How else do you explain blacks not asking Arabs ( who were mostly the SOURCE of slave trades for over a thousand years ) for reparations?
Only COWARDLY WHITE PEOPLE who are afraid of being called racists will bow to PC.
