Wrong: Was in Israel and IDF showed me their IPB (battlefield planning) for their fence. Damn thing works 100% if you build it big enough, and have weapons free ROE.

Was with GSG9 in Germany and we discussed the Berlin Wall. They asked why we haven't built one to keep people out, since their wall was VERY effective at keeping people in.

Berlin and Israel are small fences in length. We are talking about 2000 miles of fences. They will be compromised quite easily and already are being compromised of the ones we have up.

You answered the question of your second paragraph in the bolded part of the first.

The reason the Berlin wall worked is because deadly force was used without hesitation on anybody trying to breach it. This would not be politically viable in the US (at least not yet).

We need to focus on going after employers and also denying social services to illegals, to eliminate incentives to their coming in.
