But it would save millions of dollars in other areas. You might have more cops on the border, but you would need fewer cops investigating crimes inside the border.
Saw the CEO of a precast concrete business on Lou Dobbs's show this week touting the idea of a 2000 mi. fence made of his concrete panels reinforced with a metal grid that is used in highway barriers. It is incredibly strong and vertually indestructable, quickly installed, and it certainly would be less expensive than paying for the medical, educational, and criminal costs inflicted on the US taxpayer by illegals. If any senator is serious about border control, they could vote for the construction of a real border fence instead of the pitiful two strands of broken wire that we now have. Why has no member of the House or Senate suggested this?
