How many people on post at any given moment do you think it will take to secure all 19,862 miles of the US frontier?

I have no idea how they would secure the borders but I heard the former head of the Border Patrol many years ago say it would not be difficult to stop illegal immigration.

In fact he said he could stop it cold. Of course no one thinks that means 100% but he sounded pretty confident.

.....to answer your post # 108.

Probably in the order of 160 to 180 teams equipped with predators with IR capabilities.
