If they aren’t going with a full combat load of ammo, why bother?

To stop or help process? Thats the question. I hope the former and Trump has certainly been saying the right things lately. I love how he revealed Ryan lied to his face as we all thought he did.

I still think that Cholla Cactus would be as effective and take less maintenance than concertina wire.
Install some “Dragon Teeth” anti-vehicle barriers and a bed of cactus 30 or 40 yards deep and you’ve created a very effective barrier

Sounds like a basic rotation, since the bottom line number is still about the same.

I would also like to see some deep trenches. The deep trenches would require tunnel diggers to go deeper. A wall is good, but I think we need some defense in depth. You would also think that with a decent road system behind the defenses you could have all sorts of robotic vehicles as scouts and first responders that could deploy non lethal weapons. Drones flying in drugs could be taken out by existing anti missile defense systems. A wall/defensive system can be very high tech.
The big thing that a wall does is that it makes the cost of human and drug trafficking more expensive and less efficient. If the traffickers have to spend time and money building elaborate tunnels and buying drones to fly over drugs, they will go out of business. This all drives up consumer costs and reduces demand.

Heaven has a wall, a gate and a strict immigration policy. Hell has open borders.
