I agree - no actual wall is needed - just a very very wide mine field (1/2 mile) should do the trick. Some fencing on our side to prevent unnecessary cattle deaths would be nice, oh, and an access road for patrols with MA2s with orders to shoot anything in the minefield, no questions needed or wanted. Patrols should average at least every 30 minutes at each point (randomly) along the border.
When I was a kid we would quail hunt on cattle land, every now and then a coyote carcass would be hanging on the fence, always thought that was kinda cool.
Exactly - basic military engineering: use obstacles to funnel enemy into the preferred ground which is covered by overlapping direct fire and pre-planned indirect fire.
I’ve been afraid to post this for fear of reprisal. Land mines are much cheaper and far more effective. The US military needs to clear out a one-mile strand along the border and saturate it with land mines. As Commander-in-Chief President Trump would not need congressional approval.
No, all we need is a few Circus cannons....
You get caught illegally in this country, we deport you via plane of car on the first offense... second offense we deport you via cannon....after changing the elevation and angle slightly for each shot so they cannot setup a net in mexico....
After the first few second level deportations, the rest will self deport...
eVerify and eliminate benefits and a partial wall with extreme patrolling ought to work.
(As a side benefit, think of how many ‘educators’ would lose their jobs.)
Claymores with trip wires, add toe poppers, throw in command detonated mines plus a number of barrels of JP4 and white phosphorous would work.
