I think the wall is the best course. I say build a wall on our Mexican border just like Israel has built along the Palestinian border. I have heard that it will cost us about $4.5 billion to build a double wall barrier. This system would allow vehicles to travel down its length to catch any tunneling efforts or clandestine efforts to climb over. Air surveillance and high tech sensor information would trigger human action. When you compare the cost to what the extra border guards would cost, it would be a bargain.

We cannot send back all the illegals because they have entwined themselves in the labor system that businesses depend upon to meet their production needs. This system is too delicate to use baseball bat methods of correction. The labor system needs to be slowly weaned off the cheap labor market. A planned construction of the barrier system would control the rate at which the cheap labor market was taken off line.

I could not agree more. If we don't build the fence, we will be dealing with an additional 14 million (give or take) illegals within years, and then we are back in the same boat all over again.

I am not anti-immigration, but we HAVE to CONTROL the border!
