RE: A Good looking Fence.
Maybe they could build one for us?

THAT was what I had in mind. If they have been successful with it, there’s no reason why we can’t learn from them.

RE: In other words, putting a ladder up against an Israeli fence gets you shot by an Israeli sniper.

AHA, Herein lies the big difference. Legislators in America and many other special interest groups are going to oppose that.

The Israeli fence is very smart and effective because---

1. It is see through so Israeli border police can see the bad guys coming
2. is slanted inward and has tons of  Razor barbed wire---hard to scale
3. is heavily patrolled and monitored
4. has sensors that Israel border patrol will respond to immediately via air or via the dirt patrol road running parallel to the fence

Real key is a well built fence plus serious monitoring of intrusions by well armed humans. None of this virtual fence bullshyte you hear the Lindsey Grahams of this world talk about

One needs a 21ft ladder on both sides, or one ladder and a large bouncy toy on top of a VW van.

Or just carry up a rope to attach to the top rung of the ladder, on which you can slide down the other side.

Preferably into a minefield.

Last I knew there is still a fence around the WH.

And like prison fences, and the Israeli fence, climbing over the WH fence may result in you getting shot.

No border fence will work without the political will to declare that anybody trying to cross the fence WILL be shot.

Here is a very good detail how the Izzy border fence works. They are not fooling around and this kind of fence is not super expensive. Notice all the razor wire. In some photos you see even more. Razor wire really slows down intruders. I LOVE RAZOR WIRE!!!!!

That’s sort of the key, ain’t it.

If you check it out, Palestinians ,also dig a lot of tunnels.

We already have a portion of the fence that looks just like that .. but they still manage to climb over it.

The key may be enough staff to watch the fenced area.

Also, the supposed 20,000 additional Border staff - won’t be available for FIVE YEARS.

Hmmmm ..?? Isn’t that convenient for the person who will be out of office before that takes affect ..??
