I totally agree. I think they should man the borders between the border crossings and shoot anyone...I mean everyone that crosses the fence.
They should just pick up the bodies and chuck them back over the fence.
Illegal immigration would be over in less than a week.
Bit of a problem with that approach, the majority of the border in Texas, Big Bend aside, is owned by private individuals. I believe this is the case across the majority of the southwest. Are you going to just confiscate their property to do this?

Wow. You're tough.
OK, your bloodbath is realized, the borders are sealed in your mind. We have, in MY estimate, 7 million or so illegally resident aliens. How do we find and shoot them?
COMMIE
do we shoot people leaving too???
And how would you stop people from coming in by boat or from Canada or by plane? How do you stop smugglers from bribing your guards? What about tourists? Are you going to follow them around with a guard to make sure that they don't stay? Where are you going to get all the guards? Put twenty to thirty million Americans into uniform to guard all the points of entry? Now that's a productive use of labor and capital. Though, I guess that it'd be a backdoor way of creating a totalitarian communist government. And while you're doing that, who's going to be making sure that Chicoms or Islamofascists or North Koreans or the Russians aren't getting ready to smash the US?
And what type of soldiers would we have if they spent all their time casually shooting people looking for a better way of life? Do you really want a military that so casually murders civilians? How long before those soldiers realize it's just as easy to shoot civilian Americans -- and much more profitable since they have way more money? That's not a path you want to go down.
