Michael Vickers’s ranch 70 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border in Brooks County, Texas, is near a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint. Undocumented migrants trek through harsh brushland onto his property to avoid capture. An electric fence encloses the nearly 1,000 acres; at 220 volts, says Vickers, a local veterinarian and avid hunter, “it won’t kill them, but it will make them wet their pants.” Before taking a reporter on a tour of his ranch, Vickers pulls out a dozen blown-up photographs of migrants who died or have been apprehended on his property. In one, the body of a shirtless man sits slumped against a tree, his head lying limply on one shoulder. The man’s eyes are gone, trickles of blood running down from the sockets. Leafing through a bird identification book, Vickers stops at a page showing the crested caracara. “This is the bird that ate his eyes, probably while he was still alive,” he says, staring at the illustration of the yellow-faced, sharp-beaked bird.

Higher voltage required.
Capacitor bank n the realm of 2M farad set to discharge upon resistance in the line changing.
Occasionally here Newsweek grits its teeth and uses the most common lie, “undocumented”, but I’d guess there are two dozen times when they simply call the illegals “migrants”.
Of course, a glance at just the title of another cover story, “The Children of Gaza”, is more than enough to tell you that Newsweek is fully leftist propaganda, not “news”, these days.
I don’t know. That pet rock thing was pretty off.
“Newsweek’’ is still printed?
If we actually had an open unrestricted season on non-uniformed enemy combatants the whole problem would be solved in less than a week.
Shoot them as they attempt the border. Shoot the ones that are here and throw them back over the border. Let the stench keep the others away.
Whoa. Have you any idea how big a 2M farad capacitor is? Or how practical it would be?
A more practical idea is to fine every business or individual who hires and illegal 1 MM per day per illegal. No exemptions; no no delay.
Yu pretty much have it right. Death is a great motivator. Women will cease to come as soon as there are but a few dead.
I've had the disgusting opportunity to read Newsweak a couple of times in the past year or so.
They are way Left of Pravda...
..I wish I was joking!
It hangs on because it's perfect for the bottom of a birdcage.
My wife and I have a couple of cats. We find the Sunday edition of The New York Times lasts the whole week when it comes to lining the litter boxes.

It’s probably not 220, because he couldn’t say “that won’t kill you”.
Of course, a real livestock electric fence can be charged pretty hot and WILL make you wet your pants, but it’s not 220 “line voltage”.
