FIVE layers on the fence. We’re fighting over TWO.
And I’m not hearing the word “virtual”, either.
Maybe if Americans infiltrated Mexico for half a year, we could get them to build a fence. Just thinking out loud, I suppose.
Are they for hire? We could use something like that here in Texas.
The Saudi’s build a fence at the first sign of danger from ISIS, but we’ve had drug cartels and kidnappings for decades and we can’t get one even now with ISIS threatening America....roflmto, how absurd is this government?
Hell when will we be able to build our 5 layer wall? or can we borrow their wall and move it over here?

Is it true that the Saudis hired the Israelis to design it?
The federal government can’t build a 2000 mile long fence on the Mexican border, but India built a 1600 mile long fence to keep the Pakistanis out. I guess Americans are not that concerned about border security, but someday soon, they will be.
Perhaps the Saudis should be building fences around their BANKS because they are the ones who are funding these wretches.
It sounds to me like the Sauds want to fund terrorism abroad while simultaneously trying to keep these critters from coming back home to destabilize the kingdom.
This presumes they know which direction they’re coming from.
Maginot line???
A security fence is only “politically incorrect” to the stupid, or the ideologues who manipulate them.
Comparisons are made with the Berlin wall. Those comparisons are enough for the stupid, or willfully obtuse ideologues. Here’s what they don’t mention: the Berlin wall was built to keep citizens in — IOW, the wall made E. Berlin a prison. Preventing citizens from leaving is a human rights violation.
OTOH, security walls, like what the Israelis built along the Gaza border, are meant to keep hostile foreigners out. They don’t keep citizens prisoner — they keep citizens safe. The same could be said for the proposed US-Mexico border wall (or fence).
It’s too bad that so many people are stupid, or smart but evil and manipulative ideologues.
Well, they need to consult the Bush and Obama administrations so that they can be advised that a fence won’t work, and it is racist, and it cost too much, and it is better to just go ahead and absorb the terrorist attacks.
Racists!

Without a serious fence system for the Border Patrol to actually watch and guard, the BP is forced to “defend in depth.” The southern border is 2,019 miles from sea to sea. If the Border Patrol check points are 40 miles from the border, agents must roam across an area of 80,000 square miles seeking illegal immigrants. This is a fool’s errand, deliberately futile. 80,000 square miles is the size of Idaho or Kansas.
The same number of border patrol agents actually guarding a physical barrier means that every inch of the border is under observation at all times. For example, anybody carrying a ladder to the fence will be seen, and stopped by nearby Border Patrol agents who react to their approach. That is why the San Diego fence is so effective. It needs to be extended across the entire border. Or, we can keep play-acting at border security, with the Border Patrol playing Keystone Kops across 80,000 square miles of rough scrub land terrain.
RACISM!/s
70 years ago, before American Petroleum Engineers discovered oil there, the National Treasury of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was literally kept under the King’s bed.
Have we arrived at the point where we are less competent and less high-tech then a group of nomadic Bedouins...?
Abraham Lincoln said that is America were ever destroyed the destructive force would come from within rather than from the outside.
It appears he was correct.
Cannot comprehend how they have the capability for fence building
They must be so advanced as a society!
But, but we have been told a fence just wouldn’t work for the US.
