Good Article
There’s no doubt that hundreds of miles of truly impenetrable barriers would have a huge effect on illegal border crossings. Talk to some experts who favor tougher border enforcement, and they will say that even as few as 100 well-chosen miles of barrier would make a difference.
Ping!
Halting this enormous influx of illegals will fix, basically everything.
that’s where they should start
Do the most needed areas first.
Everything else can be a chain-link fence for all I care. As long as it is patrolled and guarded it does not ALL have to be a brick wall.
ALL the miles along the US/Mexico are buildable, even if it involves a barrier right down the middle channel of the Rio Grande.
Of course, as an alternative, a sea-level canal following the existing boundary between the countries, would serve to be an alternative to the Panama canal, and make El Paso, Texas, into a seaport.
And serve a very real economic purpose.
Wetbacks would REALLY have to get backs wet.
Border Wall moves forward.
Thanks, 2ndDivisionVet.
The rat f*** congressional GOP is rubbing our noses in it. Appropriating $1.9B for wall funding compared to a 3 Trillion Dollar budget is an insult.
Cue the Veruca Salt posters to complain it's not being built fast enough!
Damn right. Chain link.
Once President Trump is gone who gives a care?
Cut it and drive through.
No need to worry about what our kids faces.
The gop congress remain castrato cucks...what duplicitous losers.
You might check the altitude of the river bed along part of the route. There won’t be a sea level canal.
It can be done if enough material is excavated. Fact is, there simply is not enough sufficiently sophisticated machinery to get the job done in the early part of the 21st Century.
Laser cutting slicing machinery to cut away portions of the overburden, with anti-gravity barges to float the spoil out into the Gulf of Mexico, using the material to build an offshore island. Even at that, the Corps of Engineers would have a long and costly operation before the cuts were fully made. The cut would have to be a mile deep or more along the portions of the route. And wide enough for some really large sea-going vessels to pass each other in the transit.
Talk about reforming terrain on a continental scale.
The Mississippi river has been pretty extensively re-engineered over the past century or so.
Did you know that she was the only child in that film that went on to a career in acting?
They are replacing miles of chain link with cement base welded 20 ft tall barrier as we speak:
Seems a bit too grande for us in our current state of degeneration.
Check out the Roosevelt Reservation
In 1917 Teddy reserved sixty feet on this side of the border for use by the federal government More than enough for a fence and a maintenance road along side. No purchases necessary !

That applied to California, New Mexico and Arizona but not Texas. So there is a large
portion of a winding border along the Rio Grande to be dealt with.
Here is the easy solution if bitter Republicans “slow fund” the border wall. Heck, you can still vote some back in instead of the worse option, Dems.
Border Folks, this solution works! Make history.
SLOW FUND BORDER WALL
