We usually follow what the Israelis do maybe we will get lucky and get a real fence

The Israeli fence is 72 miles and American equivalent would be 5,000 miles(3,000 mile American/Canadian border, 2,000 miles American/Mexican border).

We could use the $1700 per year per illegal the problem costs us now to build the fence & save our kids the expense. Cool.

I see you have your facts correct...but what's your point? Are you trying to say that because doing the right thing is going to be hard and costly, we shouldn't do it?

That's what I read in your post...am I wrong?

It would cost a fortune and manning it properly would cost even more, but I see no other alternative.

Holy cow, how could we ever possibly come up with the technology or funds to build a long fence?
