Israel's wall is mostly unmanned, and very effective.

It has been put up in the space of a few years.

The cost to put an Israeli-style wall on the Mexican border would be about $8 billion, and a lot of money would be saved.

Sure, SOME people would get over or around any barrier.

But not 3 million a year. A few thousand a year.

Resisting the wall doesn't make sense.
The BorderBots want it so badly, and it's not very expensive. It might just work very, very well, as Israel's wall has worked.
So, why all the resistance?

Good post, I await a cogent response.

"It might just work very, very well, as Israel's wall has worked.

A question I keep asking. Why such resistance to something that has no real downside. Even if it is only partly effective isn't it worth trying? It makes you think people, like many of our political elite, really are not interested in controlling our border.

An Israeli type fence with 10,000 more Border Patrol agents, about $1 billion a year, and enforcement of employer sanctions would bring the deluge to a trickle.
It does seem many do not want to see this happen.

Simply because "it might just work very, very well"

Good to see you again, FRiend!
