A Fence is a temporary hindrance. A wall with armed individuals who are serious about shooting people who try to climb it is an actual Barrier to illegal entry.
Bring home all the soldiers all these eurotwits complain about and build em some nice new bases every 100 miles on both borders. then let the army core of engineers build you a wall system.
To heck with this half measure crapola I say.
You are right too. We should be specific. Otherwise, Congress will deliver this to us:
I am trying to come up with a catch phrase with Fund the Fence. Fund the wall doesn't flow like fund the fence. I think Fred Thompson should come up with the saying, 'Fred will fund the fence'. It might catch on.
Throw in drones and you have a deal.
FUND THE FENCE! ! !
er FUND THE 500 FOOT WALL SUNK INTO THE GROUND THREE HUNDRED FEET DEEP!!!!
That just doesn't click.
