Lets see, as of 2002 we had 46726 miles of interstates in the US. Each interstate highway is bordered on both sides by fence, at the least being chain-link. so 46726 * 2 = 93452 miles of chain link (I know there are also many concrete noise walls and retaining walls, but we won't include them). The Mexican border is 1952 miles. So dividing 93452 by 1952, we would have 47.875.

So - the US government has built enough built interstate fences to put almost 48 chain link fences one behind the other at the Mexican border. Factor in all of the concrete used per mile of road and you're talking some serious barriers. Therefore, every time someone says that we do not have the resources or logistics to build a border fence, they are talking a line of utter BS.

The labor should be free,every illegal alien should have to work off his offense by spending three days building the wall. Hell! if the courts object we could pay them minimum wage.
