they're not stopping anything.

The goal of the MMP is not to "stop" illegal border crossings. They admit that nothing short of military intervention will seal the border. But it is bringing the problem to the forefront and forcing the Federal government to directly address it.

In that sense, it has been a major success.

Ditto!

Meaning no disrespect to the Pope, it is too bad he died at this moment because the news has been all Pope all the time and it has been hard for any other news stories to squeeze in edgewise.

This is the Israeli fence on the Golan Heights with Syria.

As opposed to our open border with Mexico, during wartime.

Can someone explain to me why a simple pair of sturdy fences is out of the reach of the world's greatest super power?

The answer is: our leaders want lots of cheap illegal labor.
