“Why the buffer zone?Presumably it can’t be built right on the river bank. You need the proper soil to anchor it, you need to build access roads for construction, proper landscaping, etc. “

lol... proper landscaping? You mean flower beds and ficus trees? How about a couple of rolls of razor wire and call it good?

BTW only our idiotic government would require two freaking miles for access roads and proper construction. Admit it. The fence doesn’t need to be set back from the river two miles. The government planners are doing it that way because they don’t give a damn. After all they aren’t spending their money or losing their land or homes.

This is our country. I want to be proud of how it looks. Security must come first but there is nothing wrong with keeping America beautiful in the process. I’ve always thought the border edge wasn’t the best place. Half of this river is ours and to me , fencing at the edge is giving it to Mexico.

LOL, of course not. I mean clearing away nearby trees and other vegetation that can be used for concealment or maybe can be climbed to get over the fence. Although tulip beds might give it a splash of color.
