Yeah, who wants to bother with an uncool, common-sense, lower-cost, low-tech, EFFECTIVE solution like a FENCE? ;-)

Is it still lower cost and common sense when you have to pay teams of people with construction and welding equipment to patrol the 1,969 miles of fence every single day, looking for and fixing holes that have been cut in it?

Not the pathetic excuse for a barrier that we currently have. Double fence solutions have been proposed that, if properly constructed, would drastically reduce border crossings. I take it you concur with Incompetano’s position that “show me a 20 ft. wall and I’ll show you a 21 ft. ladder”? If nothing else, it’ll keep out those who don’t have a 21 ft. ladder (and many more if done right). The cost of doing nothing is totally unacceptable.
