272 miles of Israeli fence (440 mi. planned) versus nearly 2000 miles of U.S. fence is not a legitimate comparison. Besides the substantial difference in length, there is also a vast difference in terrain. The terrain affects not only how the fence is built but also how easily the illegals can dig under it.
As I said, eff the fence. Landmines, handgrenades, and snipers will work way better and cost way less. Shoot em on sight. Theres your effective deterrent.
If it slows them down drastically as the fence in California has shown to do (90% effective) why are you against this approach?
Factor in the fact that the Illegals are the biggest factor in blown budgets in the red, why is it you are against it?
Your throwing up a smoke screen to protect Perry and then offer hyperbolic solutions that you know will never see the light of day or are just plain pathetic,.
Grow up!

My opposition to building a fence along the entire 2000-mile border has bupkis to do with Rick Perry. I was against it long before he stepped onto the national stage.
“Grow up!”
That does it. I’m unfriending AND unfollowing you. And if you still don’t straighten up, I’m gonna leave negative feedback.
Lighten up, Francis. You’re wound way too tight about this whole Rick-Perry-and-his-Perrywinkles-are-the-Devil campaign.

Your throwing up a smoke screen to protect Perry and then offer hyperbolic solutions that you know will never see the light of day or are just plain pathetic,. Yup. 90% effective isn't good enough for RINO Rick so his faithful followers blindly agree. They then suggest other strategies they know will never be employed...like landmines. They seek to keep the borders open. Heck, even RINO Rick is on record as saying he "embraces" Vicente Fox's vision of an open border. So we know where his/their allegiance lies.
In this thread we have heard excuses for opposition to fencing like "tunnels" and "differing terrain". We know fences work as the fence in SD has proven it. As for the terrain...
