Now figure trying that with a 2500 mile border. Just the one. Like the man says, not gonna happen. Deal with it.

We don't even have an adequate FENCE along the border, let alone enough border patrols to stop illegal immigrants from coming into the nation. You're telling me nothing can be done about that?

We literally have millions of illegals walking into the country -- any one of which could be terrorist -- unimpeded!

The minutemen are doing more to stop illegals than our government is.

To say nothing more can be done is mindnumbingly dumb.

No, I mean we can't build a useful fence along that distance that can't be climbed, tunneled, or otherwise rendered useless. We can't afford to pay enough people to watch that border that way, either.

Did'ja ever drive from Brownsville to El Paso? Now imagine building so much as a barbed wire fence that long. Next, Imagine how many people it would take to watch it. See what I mean?

What I was trying to get across is that while it is physically impossible to close just the Mexican border that way; there has to be another way! I'm open to suggestions ...
