Use the 38th Parallel between North and South Korea as a model.
Barbed wire fences a mile apart. Free-fire zone and minefield in between. Anything that moves out there dies.
The North Korean Kommies still tunnel under the DMZ, float around it, and send propaganda balloons floating over it...
But it sure slows 'em down considerably!
Or just do what Vincete' FOX does at HIS Southern borders; greet "undocumented" visitors from South America with machine-guns. Quid pro quo.
But we both know that isn't happening - so let's just celibrate diversity.
And learn Spanish.

Uh first of all that wall is meant to keep people in. Starving North Koreans under the yoke of some meglomaniac, whose is loved by Madeline Albright, would love to get out.
Also how long is the wall that seperates the Koreas, 100 miles. Probably at a minimum takes 3-5 billion doolars to maintain yearly, Multiply that number by 20 and you get a cost of $100 Billion yearly for your wall on the Mexican border.

And learn Spanish. Precisely.
But be smart about it.
Learn it on the sly, and don't let on that you understand the language.
Then, don't speak spanish. Just listen...
When you find yourself behind enemy lines, sometimes it's best to just play dumb, and listen. People will say one thing when they think you can understand them, and something completely different when they think you're just a dumb gringo who can't understand what they're saying.
Personally, I'd prefer to know what they're saying behind my back. And if I'm "just a dumb gringo who doesn't understand spanish", then "behind my back" discussions will happen right in front of my face.
So yeah, I will be learning spanish. You can make book on it.
But I won't be speaking spanish.
