In spite of the fact that walls(fences) work. The small portion of the fence that was built under W has pushed the invaders to other areas to cross. I could build a fence the entire length of the Texas/Mexico border in eight months for way less than the $1 million a mile the feds got screwed on. 10 miles a day within three months of starting and then 50 a day six months in.

Jedidah is right. to build a fence along the river you’d have to build it on the US side, cutting ranchers off from water. It’s not workable.

I have ridden on the San Felipe Ranch of 25,000 acres along the Rio Grande, it’s very arid and they need that water badly. also I know someone who leases acreage near Eagle Pass, and their grazing land is fed by a canal from the Rio Grande.

These people are also threatened daily almost by thuggish illegals coming across. they lose calves and lambs to illegals who kill and eat them.

A combination of enforcement of the labor laws, checking ID, and a lot more Border Patrol would be a better start.

Yes good fences make good neighbors.
