Yeah, a fence won’t stop everyone.

Depends on the fence. 50 ft high and another 50ft into the dirt ought to stop about 99.9% of all foot and vehicle traffic across the border.

Fence critics like to say a 25 foot fence can be defeated with a 26 foot ladder. But first of all, it's not easy lugging a 26 foot ladder across the Rio Grande or through the desert, and second, it sure as heck slows ya down having to climb up the ladder, and the first step on the other side is a doozy, and, like you said, it completely blocks vehicular traffic.

IMO Perry's fence opposition is pandering. It is much less obnoxious than past pandering by the likes of Bush, Rove and McCain, but is still pandering nonetheless.
