"A lot of them are visa overstays…."

We'll mop them up after we get the water turned off.

No fence to slow them down or detect them, hard to cover the border with limited number of BP Agents. . . especially when obummer’s policies work against the BP, Customs and Border Protection and ICE.

Your remark is misdirected. Should be directed at obummer and his DHS drones that encourage illegal aliens and under-cut the BP, CBP and ICE. You agree fences work with the right policy.

Sad but true. . .especially with obummer’s anti-BP/CBP/ICE policies.

“it mostly exists”

Only an anti-American, pro-Mexico, Jeb Bush voting, idiot would write this type of crap.

Yes. I believe we could put a ladder up and another on the other side or go under. The men who majored in journalism at Nebraska were not the outdoors/sports types from my recollection. It appears that our media wants to put Trump down. While the Brits seem to know more about our border problem.

I think the REAL fear is what ending the free flow of drugs from Mexico would do to the inner-city economies.

Those third world Mexicans selling drugs to our own internal third world populations of blacks and Hispanics
Seems to me that whites don't get into drugs as much as blacks and Hispanics do.

An unpatrolled border fence is useless. The Israelis build great border fences but also intensively patrol them so no terrorists get through. You need rapid armed response to all intrusions.

Building a proper border fence is easy. Just copy the Isrealis

The cheapest wall we could build is to stop giving welfare to illegals. No education, no hospital visits, no food stamp, no housing vouchers. Nothing. Severely punish those that employ illegals and those that aide and abet immigration crime.

In short, adopt Mexican immigration policies.

Hot Air HAS gone full-tilt GOPe. They’re embarrassing themselves as much as FauxNews has.

Sad, when MM started Hot Air, some of her greatest posts/vids (Rant) were about illegal immigration problems and building the freaking wall.

I think Trump is aware and would agree. I wouldn’t doubt one bit that that is - or at least part of - his plan to get them *deported*.

He keeps claiming that Mexico’s leadership is brilliant...so, again, it wouldn’t surprise me to see him use reverse jujitsu on them.

Well, Taylor, they are still getting in somewhere — by the 10s of thousands.

When Reid was still majority leader, he admitted that some 5,000 per weekend were coming across the border.

A few months ago literally thousands of children were getting across.

So, Taylor, it was seem that the fence (mostly) does not exist.

I would guess that most people from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, etc. do not fly in and overstay visas.

I didn’t know. I guess if we just sent them back as soon as they cross instead of taking them to centers and then letting them bail out if they promise to come for a hearing that would help.

Well, I thought Trump wanted the biggest, best wall ever. So, I’d check out the Great Wall’s specs, make it a foot (or more)higher and six inches thicker.

And it would pay for itself by being a tourist attraction.

“How about Texas?”

There will be no wall on the Texas border.

Oh, I see... so all those people crossing are coming through fences?

Years ago, the Federal Government admitted it doesn't know how many visas have been "overstayed".
