272 miles of Israeli fence (440 mi. planned) versus nearly 2000 miles of U.S. fence is not a legitimate comparison. Besides the substantial difference in length, there is also a vast difference in terrain. The terrain affects not only how the fence is built but also how easily the illegals can dig under it.

As I said, eff the fence. Landmines, handgrenades, and snipers will work way better and cost way less. Shoot ‘em on sight. There’s your effective deterrent.

If it slows them down drastically as the fence in California has shown to do (90% effective) why are you against this approach?

Factor in the fact that the Illegals are the biggest factor in blown budgets in the red, why is it you are against it?

Your throwing up a smoke screen to protect Perry and then offer hyperbolic solutions that you know will never see the light of day or are just plain pathetic,.

Grow up!
