If more people are coming in from China, then why do I rarely see chinese people, but mexicans across all 50 states are ubiquitous.

“A four lane divided highway is now only about 1 million per mile.”

Add a 15 foot concrete wall in the divider, bury conduit for electricity and communication, and install lights, cameras and sensors. Voila! Maybe a posted 8 foot chain link fence on the Mexican side, for an exclusion area.

If you survey the route, and specify the construction standards, construction could be delegated in segments.

Let State and Local Governments build parts if they want. Let wealthy individuals and interest groups raise money to sponsor segments. Place a fee on Mexican visitors, a fine on illegals, a duty on Mexican imports, or reduce assistance to Mexico; to make them pay for segments. Be creative. Sell Wall Bonds. T-Shirts. Lottery tickets.

Just build a high speed railway from San Diego to Houston that runs on top of a high wall, problem solved and the enviroweinies will love it.

All we need is disguised motion activated cameras, drones, ATV with armed agents and a command and control system.

Any school kid can watch them cross the border, it is what happens after they cross that is the problem.

Perhaps land purchase pushes up the US version.

Just annex and use land on the Mexican side no purchase required.

I just viewed BOR’s interview w/this clown. As much as I don’t like the blustery BOR I had to laugh when he over-pronounced Jorge and it came out real fine-” WHORE-HAY”
I watched the whole clip and I can’t believe what a frikkin’ flaming a$$hole Ramos is. I had to laugh tho, the intensity of his replies and him constantly circumventing the interviewer to continually hammer his point home-right or wrong was baffling to witness.

He would do better in quitting his job at Univision -get into metrosexual rentboy mode and peddle his perfumes and clothing lines on QVC.

good grief he is flaming a$$hole

Shut off the welfare magnet, end “birthright” citizenship, and stop giving the foreign invaders jobs. That’s as good as a physical barrier.

There was a pretty good article on Conservative Review about a border fence last week. The author estimates $6 Billion on the high end for cost. The article goes on to say that the break even point is reached once the fence stops 8500 illegals for crossing into he country. We really need to build it.
