Just so I understand where you’re coming from, what specifically is your opposition to a complete physical fence?

From my post #136: "I don’t think it is necessary or efficient to build a fence all the way from the Gulf to the Pacific. The manpower and surveillance technologies, such as aerial drones, are the most important pieces to get in place ASAP. Fences can be built where and when needed. And if it proves necessary to build it the whole length of the southern border, it can be done."

I don't oppose it per se. If it proves to be necessary it can be done. From my perspective it's about prioritizing resources. More fence means more cost and more manpower for maintenance (we know how proficient the government is at maintaining roads and bridges ... ). The only way to know how much fence is necessary is to build as needed.
