It's 14 miles of fence, and it's far more patrolled than non-fenced areas. Of course apprehensions will go down. The only way they wouldn't go down is if the illegal aliens were dumber than the border patrol--and I doubt such a feat to be possible.
So, all we need to do is extend that fence 2,086 more miles and supply the manpower to do patrols at that same level of intensity along the remaining 2,086 miles of border. No problem, right?
the border patrol needed to patrol it would be very easy with 30-40 thousand patrol agents we could do it
OK, with 30-40,000 agents, that's 6-8,000 agents on post in any one shift, which translates to 3-4 agents per mile...
What, the illegals are going to line up, take a number, and wait for the agent in their sector to call them before they attempt to cross?
