I see enough criticism but no solution.
I see open borders on hhe Canadian border and no uproar.
I had a sister in law that worked here 30 years as an illegal Canadian.

Just how many men & women would it take to close both borders?

Last but not least,we don't have any idea how many illegals are here.
Maybe we should tag the one's we catch like they do some fish.

"I see enough criticism but no solution."

You hit on the crux there, whether you meant to or not. All we see and hear are complaints, but not one person offering a solution. Demanding the borders be secured is easy. We all want that. Well, most of us do. How's about some suggestions on how to go about that within logistic sensibility?

"Last but not least,we don't have any idea how many illegals are here. Maybe we should tag the one's we catch like they do some fish."

President GHW Bush was likened to the Antichrist for proposing the exact opposite of that : tattooing legal residents with their SS numbers with ink only readable under certain light. You might not want to push that idea too hard.

Gosh, I wonder why. (sarcastic smirk :o)

What's with the "both" thing? You'd also have to close the beaches, too. (The Coast Guard can't handle the existing maritime immigrant smuggling as it is; closing the land frontiers would move that traffic to the sea.)

The United States has over 19,000 miles of frontier, much of which is thinly populated. Securing that much perimeter would take a significant chunk of the US citizenry.
