I can't seriously entertain the notion that a good double-layered fence won't significantly slow down the flow of illegals. Few are claiming that it would prevent every last one from getting across. Israel's experience with fences has shown that they are effective.

I agree and it will probably be necesarry eventually. Right now it probably isn't politically feasible as it will wrongly be compared to the Berlin Wall.

Self-deportation is the answer as in cutting off all non-emergency social services coupled with giving employers of illegals jail time.

Hopefully with this supreme court, we can get a bill through that will deny education to the children of illegal immigrants.

Even with stringent and strong enforcement, both with manpower, the strength of a double layered fence, and sheer technological wizardry, we'll slow it down, but we'll never cut the flow off entirely.

This notion of a impenatrable wall, real or imagined, is just a pipe dream.
