I think standard wall might not be enough. Not when we are facing full military equipment. I am thinking DMZ like, reinforced concrete walls built into hillsides, razorwire, tank traps and the like. It is relatively cheap, and our combat engineers could put it up quickly, it is what they are trained and equipped to do. We can always pull in chain gangs, or hire huge numbers of migrants for cheap labor. Plus we need to give the border patrol full military equipment, bring them up to light infantry standards. Back them up with National Guard units. In that humvee incident, enforce our laws with LAWs. If Mexico whines, tell them to get out of our internal affairs.

Sure, that could be done- but, have you considered the environmental consequences? /s

Every illegal caught should be required to build walls on the border for 30 days before deportation as a fine for the crime.

What the heck, we could get our borders built up for free!
