Extra fence wanted to curb entrants

Naco and Agua Prieta had no real reason for existence until Operations Gatekeeper and Hold the Line pushed traffic out of San Diego and El Paso. Now they prosper as staging areas for illegals and drug smugglers.

What about training real coyotes to do the job of scaring intruders? Just a morbid thought.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Ping!

[Voice in your head]

Two of the most disgusting cancers on our society are the drug trade and illegal immigration (to include slave trading). The solution is to erect a gigantic wall with a minefield and armed guards across the entire border and to beef up security patrols by the coast guard for the adjacent bodies of water. That will stem the tide of illegals to something less unreasonable. Either firebomb the hell out of the drug-producing areas of nations like Columbia or just legalize them and allow US businesses to use the free market to run the druglords out of business. Or, do neither one, and keep wondering why the problems don't get solved.

They can use the SeaBee's to build the fence. They can use old beach matting for the fence. That is what they did in San Diego. It helped keep costs down and the Navy is far more productive than union contruction workers.

Douglas Mayor Ray Borane

And what is the honorable Mayor's solution? Amnesty for coyotes? Amnesty for drug runners? How about "tear down that wall"?

[JackelopeBreeder]

Real coyotes are too timid. There are other critters here that make better allies.

[JackelopeBreeder]

A lot of the heavy fence work here has been by Marine Corps Reserve units.

Our "secure" border fence:

There is very little that I would characterize as honorable about Ray Borane -- not after listening to stories from Mexican-American friends who grew up with him.

Let's spend the bucks to put the fence from San Diego to Brownsville, TX. Double fence with mine field in the middle.

Politcally Incorrect I assume.

[82Marine89]

The Marines are the better half of the Navy.

My in-laws gave thought to moving to Sierra Vista, but the illegals made them think twice. Now they're going to Prescott Valley.

[82Marine89]

I prefer Claymores. Better kill zone.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Allow me to show off my personal favorite urinal. The real border is just past the monument, so you need some decent hydraulic pressure to do the job right.

[rahbert]

i disagree. the fence they put up already is a piece of junk. a decent fence built to professional standards
is needed. seebees work hard but the end product needs
to be the product of modern materials and design, not
juryrigged surplus runway matting.

[FBD]

good pic,
I think I'll [snip] it

[mysto]

Why don't they build border fences the way they build prison fences... with lots of razor wire... but I guess that would also be politically incorrect, right?

[JackelopeBreeder]

You're right. Land mines are far too impersonal and can't distinguish between illegals and innocent cattle and horses.
