Ahh, then again, that cuts both ways asswipe. If there's no-one living there than either (a) you're going to have to build enough towers, and man them with lookouts, to cover the entire 1,969 mile length of the border, or (b) have the smugglers simply spot where your watchers are, figure out what the limits on their visibility is, and then tunnel outside that range.

Besides which, the US does not control Mexican territory and cannot enter Mexican territory willy-nilly to stop smugglers who've started digging a tunnel - a fact that you are apparently unaware of - and therefore even if we grant your psychotic belief that smugglers won't be able to hide where their tunnelling activities start, there is no way that the end point of those activities could be prophesied, short of spending trillions on putting soldiers or police shoulder-to-shoulder along the entire 1,969 mile border and at least a half mile deep back from the border.

You are an insane, raving lunatic if you think smugglers won't be able to make a mockery of whatever wall gets built.

I wonder what the Israelis would think of your stupid comments regarding perimeter walls.

Since the completion of the fence in the area of Tulkarm and Qalqilyah in June 2003, there have been no successful attacks from those areas. All attacks were intercepted or the suicide bombers detonated prematurely.

Wherever a section of the fence has been built, there has been a quantifiable drop in the number of successful terrorist attacks

PS: I will not vote for a RINO for President in '12. I consider Perry just a run of the mill RINO. Maybe a notch above McAmnesty. Not worth voting for.

You have convinced me, there is absolutely no reason to resist the Borg. The outcome is a forgone conclusion, because you said so.

I have an easier solution, you guys just give Texas back to Mexico. Oh wait you already have, since the Hispanic(a recently made up race) population is already the majority in Texas, and about 70% of them are on the public dole.
