Fence is a stupid idea anyway. Put troops on the border with drones and satellite surveilance.

Why is a fence a stupid idea, they have one around the White House don't they?

A real, triple layer fence unlike troops can't be moved tomorrow depending on the political winds, is cheaper in the long run, acts as an effective barrier to add to border patrol defenses, and sends a strong signal that we mean business.
