Three broken legs vs how many who scaled the wall and weren’t hurt? Wow......that’s really effective.

Texas already has strategic border fencing in populated areas. A 1200 mile long fence along the entire Rio Grande River which is Texas' southern border defies common sense. The Big Bend country is extremely rugged and the cost would be astronomical.

Land that isn't included in the park is privately owned and water from the river is used for irrigation and livestock. You can't cut a landowner off from his only source of water.

No fence not under constant surveillance by an armed force willing to use deadly force will keep out someone determined to cross.

In a time of cuts, Texas doubled it's budget for border security.
