I’ve always said having an electric fence with enough volts to kill even easy back early in GWB’s first term. Still no idea why this wasn’t done it would be way cheaper and more effective
so start already...
Obama wanted alligators in that moat...
maybe the ones from Disney World...
I want to see the Israelis get the contract. They know what they’re doing.
You gotta be kidding !
Trump will use American designers, contractors, labor and material....or he'll be eating crow from here to eternity !
We've got bidders who know what they're doing, also !

“Cutting off welfare, EBT, free education for illegal children, e-verify for employers, etc. would have more of an effect than a wall would.”
And the next liberal Admin elected would come along and reverse it all. What they wouldn’t do is tear a wall down. Unless they wanted to spark a revolution. All your suggestions could be reversed. A permanent wall, not so much.
“Cutting off welfare, EBT, free education for illegal children, e-verify for employers, etc. would have more of an effect than a wall would.
I haven’t heard anything about Trump addressing these things.”
He advocated for all of those policies in his big immigration speech during the campaign. Many of them would be implemented in the next budget, or by Department Secretaries (HHS, Agriculture, Education), when their staff comes on board over the next few months.
Maybe that is why the Left is starting to target the new HHS Secretary Tom Price.
“I haven’t heard anything about Trump addressing these things”
Then you haven’t been paying attention. He’s said over and over he wants to “turn off the welfare magnet”.
Actually the outline requirements I posted exceed that wall in your picture which does not appear to be 30 foot tall.
Just do what the Israelis did. Nothing more nothing less. Probably have to construct it with a fence protecting it from the Mexican side so they can’t just drive right up to it. In fact, give the contract to the Israelis.
but get it done NOW.ASAP.PRONTO.
For the tunnelers Can’t we build some giant mole traps (sarc)
Better idea. Two walls 20 ft apart, Cement drive on top. Wall full of rats imported and fed from NYC sewers. Feed chutes to the rats fed with dead animals from a rendering service so they get used to eating meat.
If someone is dumb enough to break through the side the rats would spill out on the Mexican side.
They should top the wall with lots of razor sharp concertina wire, and make sure it's deep enough to prevent tunneling. I'm sure there is technology available to detect tunneling, so vehicles equipped with those detectors would patrol the wall. Blow up any tunnels found.
I think I heard that the Israeli company which built their security wall is being consulted on the construction of this one, or is that a false rumor?
Well how else do you propose to change the law....machine gun fire?
You want to give the contract to a foreign country? You probably missed it, but Trump and the American people voted for putting America and Americans first, for the first time in decades. Ya better get used to it.
Great point...I keep forgetting about drones. Probably much cheaper overall, and even more effective.
Jumping from that height may not break a femur but should snap a shin bone.
BP can transport them to a gate where they can be handed over to Mexican medicos.
