All of that wire has to be paid for, the troops paid and then it all has to be taken up sometime. A comprehensive barrier similar to the ones that exist at many borders around the globe should have been constructed many years ago. Double security fence, motion sensors, watch towers, cameras and patrol roads with each attempted incursion met with deadly force. Didn’t happen and now we have this fluster cluck of bush hogged trails strung with makeshift layers of concertina and a brewing fed vs. state conflict that just serves to further unsettle a nation already ripping apart. All over a half measure on a section of border too short to matter. This will probably pass, we have the attention span and conviction of a bunch of gerbils.
