I'd say the network of tunnels negates any benefits of a wall. Seems like a waste. Better to finance "Hunter" forces that are mobile and open fire on anyone who crosses. A show of force is the ONLY thing that will make an impression at this late date in the whole disaster that our border has become. Consequences? Well, consider the consequences of unabated illegal immigration shutting down private hospitals and the unending death at the hands of criminals who enter uncheck by our current open-door policy.

Unacceptable...and the Republicans are just as much scumbags as are the rats on this issue.

I think a "Bounty" placed on anyone who crosses DOA would be appropriate. Let the local militia in and give them an incentive to hunt down invaders. I'm fairly short of good will towards a people who simply have no respect for the friendship of our nation. In fact, I'd say it's time to show them an appropriate level of contempt.

I disagree. Over 99% of illegals enter the United States on foot. Tunneling takes a tremendous amount of money and effort to yield a very small volume of human traffic (tunnels are more effective for high-value goods and individuals). A wall allows fewer border guards to defend against foot traffic, and frees other forces to use technological means to defeat tunnel smuggling.

Remember the first live-saving step: STOP THE BLEEDING. Build the damned wall!

The tunnels are high cost items built by billionaire narco trafficantes to move dope. Illegals can't "pay" for tunnels. Their large numbers on both ends would be an easy signature, and the tunnels would quickly be found and shut. So, illegal alien smugglers don't bother. Tunnels are strictly the realm of wealthy drug gangs, and are used where border defenses (fences) make crossing at the surface impossible.
