If they could build a 25 ft high wall, 4500 miles long 2000 years ago, then we sure as heck could do it today. I've watched specials on the building of the Alaska Pipeline, a border wall would be a piece of cake compared to that project.

A lot of local residents have adopted a very similar style of fencing close to their houses. Along with flood lights and packs of large dogs. Gives the place a nice ambience of something like Stalag 17.
>"Why don't they build border fences the way they build prison fences... with lots of razor wire..."<
Nah...make it like the Great Wall of China with a walkway on the top. (see my #19 post)
That way the open borders crowd could walk along the top, and wave hello to their friends! ;^D
........or contract it out to the Israelis.
LOL!
What are ya doing hurtin' little COEXERJ145's liberal sensiblities like that? Now he's going to have to ping his DU.COM pals; jveritas, bayourod and cultural jihad for emotional support!
;^D
I have been preaching this same thing for months. Now this is a double walls running parallel to each other about 100 yards apart with a minefield and moyion detectors between the walls and watch towers if needed. Mines can be energized or turned off electronically.
The walls are reinforced Concrete walls 8 - 10 feet high with Fencing mounted on top of it another 8 or 16 geet high. The ground in front of the fencing and the Fencing itslef has RAZOR wire facing out all the way up the front and on top.
Access through the fence is gaind via a check point. All Truck traffic is delivered to a warehouse area. The trucks are unloaded and shipments are inspected. Refrigeration is also available for perishable foods. Trucks and Drivers are impounded until inspection of shipment is completed. Only US Trucks deliver to the interior of the country.
I like it, I wish we had one on our border. I think the Isrealis are having classes on Wall 101 , starting in the spring semester. Maybe we should send the VP to check it out>??
jeez, looks like the Israelis even built a moat! What's that for burning oil? ;^D
On a serious note, the security wall in Israel has cut the homicide bombing attacks way down.
I'd bet our illegal problem would drop down to almost nothing, if we spent the money on a wall, instead of chasing them through the desert.
But no, we can't have that!
Whatever it takes!!
Now THAT is a fence!
That's what I call Border Control!! We should send a picture to George!!
Just hink about all of the Drugs and other Crap that would be slowed down.
In the U.S. its called jogging. In mexico, its called 'preparing'.
Yea and he can contract Haliburton to build it !
Yes it has.
I noticed the moat, too. Flaming oil ! LOL !
I've seen the new continuous paving machines. Why can't we develop a continuous wall machine. Say about 15' high. It won't keep them out but it will be more difficult.
Don't get me wrong, I still booby-trap the Illegal Alien Trails. New Years Eve party poppers, those aerosol horns people take to football games, giant fake spider webs made out of dental floss and Silly String and sprayed down with the magic liquid inside chem-lights.
How would you react at 3 a.m. if you you were walking into a drainage tunnel and got blasted by the sound of the Balrog from Lord of the Rings or a T Rex from Jurassic Park? Would your underware survive unblemished?
Only if it is topped with barbed wire--- and land mines between the two fences.
