I do not believe that all those who oppose the idea of a fence or wall are doing so because of a water issue that can easily resolved. I believe they just do not want the fence be it because they are soft on ILLEGAL immigration, they want the cheap labor, they want to defend La Raza Rick's opposition to a fence, or they don't want our neighbors to the south hating us because we have fenced them out.

Bingo. The fact is, America is entirely capable of building some sort of physical barrier that is capable of stopping the vast majority of illegal crossings. Naturally, a physical barrier alone isn't sufficient. We'll have to man that barrier, as well, and use every other technological tool at our disposal to really secure the border.

The point is, all of these arguments against implementing an 'all of the above' approach (including a physical barrier) are weak, submissive justifications for doing nothing at all to stop the invasion at its source.

The only thing lacking in the illegal immigration issue, is the political will and courage in Washington, to actually DO something about it.
