How would YOU seal the borders? Look at this map:
In the middle, a rich country of less than 4 million. Up top, a poorer country of 25 million. At bottom, a dirt poor country of 200 million. How could those borders be kept secure? All you need is a rowboat.
Now read the story of one public servant who helps do just that:
A Day in the Life of a Public Officer
I draw your attention to this sentence:
"We do our very best to secure a conviction for every case that we deal with."
They mean it. It works. It can be done. All you need is the will and the courage.

I'm thinking of two big old concrete walls about 50 yards apart, with a mined "no man's land" in between and razor wire up top. Oh, and devices underground that can detect tunneling.
This would be ideal for the US-Mexico border. Might give some of the illegals a second thought...

How would YOU seal the borders? With a long tall wall designed by the Israelis.

Minefields. Razor wire fence with alarms. Destroy all the "humanitarian" stuff we put in the deserts to make their invasion easier.
Ya know, I bet a Roman Senator said the same stuff about those illegal aliens invading Rome: Teutons, Goths, Visagoths, Vandals, etc.

Don't need to seal borders for illegals. That's the problem. Far too many people think we need to build walls and put thousands of troops on the border.
Just stop giving them any reason to come. No school, no healthcare, no rights to rent or buy property, no driver's licenses, no health care, no employment. Fine, imprison, and de-license anyone or any business that knowingly employs illegals -- and permanently deny citizenship or right of entry to any illegal found in our Country without papers.
More importantly -- stop rewarding illegal behavior with the absurd interpretation that a person who invades your country and procreates, is able to claim citizenship for his or her child based on that illegal act. The notion that the founders thought that being born here after an unlawful invasion would give citizenship rights is without any support)
Yes -- stop incentivizing illegals to come -- and they won't come. But as long as we make it worth their while, the whole of the U.S. Military could not stop the silent invasion.
How would you stop the illegal aliens?
