"Your bogus picture of one scary looking tiny fraction of our southern border is a deliberate lie, as you know. "The fence was a 66 mile long test. It barely slowed down the border jumpers. Don't just take my word, read the Inspector General's Report that documented the lack of effectiveness of operation gate keeper.
Can you show me any study, proposal or plan that anyone claims would be more effective than the one our government already abandoned as a failure?
Well, we did have a successful method of stopping illegal immigration for a while called "Operation Wetback" in 1954 but it was stopped because some people got too PC about it.
Operation Wetback - 1954
My father and I were discussing this one time and he suggested a border set up much like we have between the two Koreas (he served in Korea from 1955 to 56) and I agreed and added, somewhat dark humor style, "in addition to land mines, use radioactive waste." My father quipped, "that'll work, at least we can see them glow green as they try to cross the border at night." Well, maybe land mines is a bit too strong along with radioactive waste, although my father loved the idea, we do need "Operation Wetback II."
It seems like we are rewarding lawbreaking and having a "gästarbeiten" (guest worker) program is no answer either. Protect the borders, come here legally with the idea of some assimilation otherwise, you will be busted and sent back home.
